Details: Artists Attack! isn't another feel-good self-help book--it's a subversive field guide for creatives who are done playing nice. Part manifesto, part tactical manual, it arms you with the mindset and moves to cheat, steal, and strong-arm your way to creative freedom.
At the center of the plot is The Snudge--a shape-shifting saboteur who whispers lies like "You're not good enough," "You don't belong here," and "Why start if it won't be perfect?" This book teaches you to spot that voice, outwit it, and get back to work like a creative criminal on a mission.
Each chapter is named after a classic con--The Decoy Job, The Getaway Plan, The Double Cross--and loaded with bold strategies, irreverent prompts, and radical permission to move now, not when you're "ready."
Whether you're a full-time artist or a closet creative planning your breakout, Artists Attack! delivers the mindset, mischief, and momentum to outmaneuver resistance and make your mark.
Inside you'll learn how to: Weaponize deadlines to create pressure, momentum, and accountability Practice the dark arts of collector skullduggery to get your work in the right hands Build your heist crew--allies who amplify, not apologize Use disguise, misdirection, and momentum to outwit resistance Take action before you feel "ready," "worthy," or "legit" Make bold work in spite of perfectionism, doubt, or chaos
Who it's for:
This book is made for painters, writers, designers, performers, and anyone in a creative identity crisis. It's for rebels and realists--people who crave a creative life but feel blocked by perfectionism, distraction, doubt, or shame.
It's for those who don't have the time, energy, or support to "just show up every day"--and need a way to cheat the system.
Why it's different:
Unlike The War of Art or other classic creativity books, Artists Attack! doesn't romanticize the struggle. It doesn't ask you to grind harder or wait for inspiration. Instead, it gives you permission to lie, trick, hustle, and heist your way into a sustainable creative practice.
If you've ever felt creatively cornered, this book hands you the crowbar.
Praise from early readers:
"This book got me back in the studio. Period."
"It reads like a manifesto, a pep talk, and a punch to the face--in the best way."
"Finally, a book for artists who don't fit the productivity mold."
You're not here to earn your creative freedom. You're here to steal it back.
Let's go.
