Dear Artist, Don’t Give Up! Book By Rafi Perez

“This isn’t a guidebook to follow the rules. It’s a call to arms for creative rebels.”

Have you ever looked at your art and wondered, “Why am I even doing this?” Have you felt the weight of self-doubt or the urge to just throw in the towel?

Dear Artist, Don’t Give Up is your “rogue companion” for those exact moments. This isn’t your typical, dry motivational book. It is a collection of letters, witty anecdotes, and brutally honest advice designed to help you survive the wild, messy, and beautiful rollercoaster of the creative life. Written by award-winning artist Rafi Perez, this book gives you the permission you’ve been waiting for: permission to stay weird, break the rules, and keep creating on your own terms.

A special pre-order edition book titled 'Dear Artist, Don't Give Up!' featuring motivational phrases for artists. The cover shows a typewriter illustration and an author's photo.

What to Expect from This Journey:

  • Hilarious, Brutally Honest Advice: Letters that will make you laugh, cry, and—most importantly—feel seen as a human being navigating the art world.
  • Relatable Stories: Personal “in-the-trenches” anecdotes from Rafi’s own career, covering the highest highs and the most soul-crushing lows.
  • Snarky Humor & Rogue Philosophies: A no-holds-barred approach to art-making that encourages you to stop conforming and start trusting your own voice.
  • A New Perspective: Insights that help you smash through creative blocks and art-world conventions.

Is This Book for You?

  • The Aspiring Creator: If you need a boost of confidence to finally share your work with the world.
  • The Seasoned Pro: If you want to laugh, reflect, and reignite the passion that got buried under “the business of art.”
  • The Stuck Artist: If you’re currently uninspired or questioning your path.
  • The Fan: If you love the empowering, unfiltered vibe of Rafi Was Here on YouTube.
An open book showing a page titled 'Introduction: A Letter To The Weirdo Who Picked Up This Book', featuring a doodle of a person with the word 'WEIRD' and encouraging a creative mindset.

Stop Doubting. Start Reclaiming Your Fire.

The world doesn’t need more people following the rules; it needs more people brave enough to be themselves. This book is your permission slip to be bold, stay messy, and, above all else, never, ever give up.

If you have a shy artist that needs some motivation or a kick in the rear buy them this book. I bought this book for my wife. She absolutely quotes it and is setting goals for 2025. Thank you for having a loving and safe place for all types of artists from all walks of life. You are awesome.

Just got my book yesterday so I haven’t had a chance to read it, yet. It looks great and I love the buttery velvet feel of the covers. Rafi and Klee always go the extra mile to make things special.
