I can’t believe how early I am. I haven’t watched it yet, but when I read the title I first thought you were referencing The Artists Way and doing that for your New Year’s resolution. I hope your doing well.
I do actually want to do that artist way at some point! would be a cool video series to document the process as well🙂↕️ thank you hope you’re well also!🫶
I truly cannot express how grateful I am for you sharing these incredible ideas with us. Your creativity has inspired me deeply, and I feel a genuine shift in my perspective after watching this video. Thank you!
thank you so much for sharing that point of view! it's so very, very important, and finding that openness in how i approach art is also what saved my relationship to it, after years of burnout and procrastination cycles from fear of hating my art and making mistakes. what you brought up about creating from a place of connection to what is and genuine expression of its essence is greatly put too ♥ our very mind-driven society, peers and even learning structures are so geared towards performance and productivity that sometimes it's hard to remember that it's most likely how art appeared, and what about it is so important to us! i'm also wondering how much of an exception your take is, and how much the rhetoric around art-making is changing, because i have seen so much pain, stress and self-hatred on art social media platforms along the years... hoping we all manage to move on from that and find joy and meaning in creating soulfully, beyond pressure hope your 2025 is wonderful and inspiring, and you get the space to be true to yourself!
Happy New Year! I hope you’re doing well. Love the new thumbnail/icon. It’d be dope to see one as a sticker one day. Kind of like @leechuts watching over us all. In leechuts We Trust!
the movie Sound of Metal made me ask that question, if i wasn't an artist, what/who am i? after a lot of thinking and life experiences, i ended up with the same answer as you did, i am me.
happy new year! so lovely to see you the emotional flows of this video made me smiling and joyfully crying a bit honestly i’ve founded peace and the course of it on the same things apart of separation my whole identity from making an art person. i caught myself on thought bout losing an sensibilities to make art that came to i’ll probably find ways to make. then it feels like a lifestyle, not an inhead identity. and as right now everything is good i do no longer wanna think about id been finding myself in the situation when i want to do better than physically can at actual point. i guess i still do but that doesn’t sound like 120% of your skills or whatever and comes more as immersion to my process and working on detail i know i can try to perform differently, unfamiliarly and want so time doesn’t stop without you and that’s one of the matter things i have highly experienced in the last days of the passed year. if things actually have its going mostly without me then i just wanna enjoy my time. another ways simply feels like doesn’t work anymore i wish you to have peaceful romantic sunny teaful art and little things joyful time this year and thank you for being here
Losing the ability to work the way you always have is devastating. I used to draw photo realistically and that was my identity. It was what I did, my pride, and my intended future, it was what I loved doing more than anything. I was getting my degree, when an autoimmune disease struck and I lost so much dexterity in my fingers, hands, wrists, elbows. It was the lowest point of my life. I make different art now. I have to work more slowly, and it is not my career. I rarely pick up standard pencils anymore because I simply can’t do what I once did and it’s still very painful. I was also always afraid of going blind. Something else got me instead. Finding peace with it is intermittent, sometimes I’m fine. Sometimes I’m swallowed with depression.
Happy New Year :) Your videos and your voice are always so calming. You reflected on many good points. The ugly stage is quite a mental challenge to overcome, but sometimes I feel the next day, when I return to my drawings, I actually learn to like the imperfections. You made a very valid point about the energy levels. We are conditioned to believe we should only feel productive and happy, but life is full of seasons. Sometimes we need to slow down. I hope to one day be as introspective in my art creation as you are. I'm sorry to hear you had health problems. My eyesight is also steadily declining because of the amount of straining I have had in the past four years, and funnily enough, this topic resonated so much with me, as just today I was really reflecting on the exact question. What would I do if my health collapses completely, and I couldn't work on my creative pursuits, but to be honest, I don't know. The thought terrifies me. Your maturity and acceptance is commendable, but I truly do hope you recover. All the best of luck in 2025, and I look forward to continue to follow your creative journey. And also worth mentioning, you did a wonderful self-portrait :)
so lovely to hear your thoughts on my thoughts🥹🫶 totally. Its crazy how similar our experiences are - all of us going through so many similar obstacles in our lives and within ourselves (esp as creatives), I’m glad these ideas could resonate with you - all the best in the new year🫶🫶🫶
i haven't commented in awhile, but it was nice to listen to this video!!! i thought that ive been having is creativity is inevitable and i simply need to let it show up. i started using an app called screenzen to hard block me off social media from 8pm-9am and its helping me slowly detox from my constant need for dopamine. it really does change how you function when your screen time is limited!!! much love from your peer in new york ♥♥♥
so lovely to hear from you - thank you❤️ thats a beautiful perspective - & i’ll def look up that app! All the best in all your creative endeavours this year xoxoxo🫶🙏🫰🫰🫰
happy new year ! I think people have such a weird image of what an "artist" is ... creation in any form is art, my friend who set climbing routes : makes art to me, someone writing a blog : art, a grandma that makes the tackiest knit for their grandchildren and would never call it art, its art. I think as visual artists we tend to focus too much on the visual side and forget that real art is carrying a message, whatever it may be, and that's what matters.
To be perfectly honest, my New Year's resolution, or intention is the same every year, basically to keep putting one foot in front of the other, with little breaks as needed, and see where it, and my curiosity, lead. I know that sounds kind of like a no-plan plan, but I get way better results this way than I do planning to the hilt. The new selfie is amazing. Are you and @mewTripled going to start hanging out?
I love a no-plan plan - your intention sounds perfect, all the best this year 🙏 & thank you! damn I used to watch her animations on youtube waaaaay back shes amazing💖
