Seth Godin’s new book, Linchpin (Amazon link), reinvents work by challenging everyone to be an “Artist” now! (Check out the Linchpin manifesto graphic above for a gist!) This is something most designers should already do well, and then again for some of you maybe do better?

Now, if the man on the street is encouraged to work with passion and artistry, how is a designer, whose work is about passion and artistry, going to do one better?

The term artist was broader than I initially thought. http://shanglee.com/blog/2010/01/17/are-you-an-artist/

Hey Shang Lee,

I think it is not so much about being an artist, but more about an artist’s approach to work.

Thanks for sharing.
