The following article was written by Kevin Kelly, the founder of Wired magazine (he is now the “Senior Maverick” at Wired and writes at most one article per year. He regularly posts new articles on his own site at kk.org). His newest book is The Inevitable, a New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller. He is founder of the popular Cool Tools website, which has been reviewing tools daily for 20 years. Kevin is also an artist himself! He posts his work to his Instagram account @kevin2kelly.
This article originally appeared on Kevin’s own website here. It is titled Art as an Excuse, and he has graciously agreed to let us republish it for Sovereign Artist newsletter subscribers. We’ve made today’s post, and comments open to all members, including our free members.
This post has been locked and is available only to paid members because we don’t want this duplicate content on the open web in a way that might draw traffic away from Mr. Kelly’s original post. If you are not a sovereign artist club member, you can still read the entire post here.
