Behind every masterpiece is some bad art. A whole pile of it. Pres Maxson challenges us all to live like an artist, and discover the highs and lows in Behindthe creative process. Pres is a career creative and Amazon.com best-selling author. In 2018, his second novel, Pigeon, earned honorable mention in both the New York and the Paris Book Festivals. Pres has been nominated by NUVO Magazine as a best local author in Indianapolis for three consecutive years. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
