About this listen
Features exclusive audiobook extras!
Scott Christian Sava, a beloved artist and social media star, delivers a refreshingly honest guide to navigating the emotional and creative complexities of being an artist. Known for his down-to-earth wisdom and warm, irreverent tone, Sava encourages artists to embrace imperfection, push through self-doubt, and just start making art, no matter the obstacles. This audiobook is filled with practical advice and answers to the burning questions every artist faces—from overcoming creative block to knowing when a piece is truly done. Sava’s message is clear: there’s no “cheating” in art, and every mistake is a stepping stone to finding your unique creative voice.
This audiobook also comes with a downloadable PDF featuring 75 original black-and-white drawings, offering a visual companion to Scott’s reflections. For blind and low vision listeners, Scott has also recorded a special track where he personally describes each drawing in detail—bringing every piece of art to life through words.
Whether you're a seasoned artist or a beginner, Sava’s humorous and heartfelt approach tackles the emotional struggles all creatives share—imposter syndrome, perfectionism, and fear of failure—while encouraging artists to get out of their own way and rediscover the joy in creating. This audiobook is both a companion and a guide, helping you turn blank pages into worlds of possibility.
