Your boy JBarber is deep in the thick of creating his thesis work! There's a lot of writing and making art going on in the basement. He put down his paints and picked up the mic to share some of his thoughts about his art journey. Today he's talking about what it's like to be in the process of making this latest body of work. He lets you know what happened when he tried to explain to his wife the relationship between artistic frustration and artistic joy. He talks about how hard it is to stay inspired with a deadline hovering over your head and how dangerous it is to be committed to the work.
