Both being nice and being yourself are always good philosophies to live by. The third tip is a really great one for any creative, to hang with other creative people. I think this helps with replenishing your creative energy, and generate new ideas. Most of my friends and family have creative outlets as hobbies or professionally. My friends list consist of web/graphic designers, painters, sculptors, writers and musicians...which has helped with creative block, along with taking a few hours a week to visit a gallery, go to a movie or play, so on. Just go and have some creative playtime each week. Now for comics, they were my biggest inspiration to draw while growing up. I still have two large boxes of comics from th 70s and 80s, along with my large collection old school punk rock albums. :) Currently reading all the Witch Blade comics in one huge book.
