I love the time we live in. So many mentors. So many people we’re able to learn from and connect to. Thank you so much for being apart of guiding new generations of artist
Left my dispensary job to pursue art full time! Been a little over a month and it’s definitely not easy but I believe persistence and just putting yourself out there is key! Been making some money from commissions but patience is key as well. Thanks for this video dude, it’s awesome to see other artists perspectives ✌️
Alot of times I made a living as a painter, ( spray, brush roll ) interior and exterior projects , restorations, faux finish in multi million dollar homes .. you learn alot about paint, business ,(and stay in shape). Got shut down by carpal tunnel though. Professional artist is like pro musicians, pro athletes, actors, lots of dues to pay. Artist friends bring the artistic talent to many endeavors, set design, prop making, pastry chef, making dentures, floral arrangement, woodworking, tattooing.. You get the idea. Lotsa luck.

first vid i ve seen of you since yt recommended me your channel. What I really like about your vid is that you dont do jump cuts every 2 seconds like 99 percent of other youtubers. You kinda inspired me to put my art out there as well and to try my best. You ve gained a new loyal subscriber. Keep up the good work! Now gonna check out your other stuff.
Yo Slew; Thanks for sharing - I watched the whole thing. You’re a hard worker - you just love it so much, it doesn’t seem like work - but you definitely put in the time and energy. Stay safe.
That was great thanks. You're awesome, very personable. I love your straightforward honest approach, not just in this but in all your videos that I have watched.
Glad your doing better! I really appreciate you sharing your experience as a full time artist! I am currently trying to do the same! Whenever I get stuck watching you gets me motivated again!🤜🤛 keep it up👑
I really like the painting in all blue on the far right, it reminds me of my favorite film "Moonlight". Do you have any videos up of the painting process of that painting specifically?
I want to watch Avatar again, I havent since I was a kid. As embarrassing as it is I started rewatching a season of Discovery Kid's Endurance LOL its just so nostalgic! I deff got to actually watch all of Avatar in order again though I forget most of it.
You’re the reason I started doing TH-cam!! I only do timelapses at the moment just bc that’s what I’m most comfortable with but maybe someday I might change it up
Hi, I enjoy your art videos, so transparent and inspirational. I took your skill share offer and signed up to check it out. I have experience a major tragedy and it put me in low gear, not bad, just slower. Since then I have been looking at art videos, and made a few myself. You’re so light and inspiring. Thank you
Hey. Loved the video. I’m a recovering artist as well. 6 months post cast. My injury scared me because I could of loss my abilities to create. I’m not tryna advertise but I’m very spiritual and I read tarot on top of other things. I’m also an artist and I ya tattoo and make music. I do TH-cam too. I can tell your energy is beaming, but you have haters. You’re breaking a lot of chains in your life and you may have some conflicting energy with your emotional well being. (No I’m not tryna out your business out there I was just drawn to mention it) you’ll be rapping this up and moving away from this energy soon. You might be traveling. Move quickly but not immaturely. Good luck. I’m a starving artist currently and you’re a big inspiration. Thnx. Great luck to you.
Just found your channel - you're so inspiring!! Haven't found many people who are both artists and also into what goes on with filming in general so really excited to follow your work :)
What I've noticed about artists who are making a living at it,, They can consistently crank out fine art. They live pretty simple lives. They are plugged into outlets, or self promotion methods. Nowdays it seems they " have dope names and drop sick merch" . (kids these days) If you get a new tat check out Grime in San Francisco on vice news vid , He reminds me of you alot. I'm an old timer painting on the side of a mountain in Boruca territory Costa Rica. Pura vida. I never sold a painting in my life, I use oil paint from the hardware store..when a piece is done I make a record of it then it's gone like a mandala. It's not important to me that I have alot of paintings, it's important that I paint alot. Oh, a toucan just flew by.. NYC sounds like an expensive joint, my main successful artist pal is in Taos New Mexico which is a long time arty spot ( Georgia Okeffe ) Near santa Fe another arty spot, you can hit LA and pipe out to NYC from there.

wow....I just found you....awesome video!! I am sort of new to TH-cam and trying to grow my channel and my Patreon.....I can see I have so much to learn from watching YOUR videos. Glad your leg is on the mend and be sure to watch more of your videos ...I subbed and liked.
I feel that making little to no money is really challenging; that's where I am at now. Im just taking on commissions and hoping for the best. Hoping that if I put in the hours and keep grinding it will eventually pay off financially
Sorry about your accident but since you are a little limited to where you can go if possible can you do a tutorial of drawing in procreate such as your technique on shadows with layers I’m struggling a bit thanks even if you can’t you have helped me out a lot Q &As have helped me a lot nothing but love bro!!!
Hi Slew Do you prefer to do your artwork alone? Just that I get so agitated when I use to work in a group! Too much distraction! Do you listen to music whilst painting? I find it hard to listen to music when sketching! But when painting find it's so enjoyable I listern to different genres depending on what im painting! ✌❤👊
Word of mouth! Ha! Being an artist with family who don’t care you’re an artist and just look at you to pay back your student debt as soon as possible with your crap retail job is how life is my way.
Great Q and A, sounds a lot of revenue streams to keep up with. Do you have to send out patreon tier gifts every month and how do you keep up with creating content for those patreon monthly subscribers ?
Hey slew, Thanks for being honest about living at home- I feel like the stigma that you shouldn’t live with your parents is so damaging to our generation (and our parents!) it makes way more sense to live at home and save money, get your feet under you, figure out what you are doing, and then MAYBE move- But honestly, if you and your parents get along well and give each other privacy.....What is the issue if you stay together!? There is only so much time on this earth. You will look back on the time with your mom and be thankful. OF COURSE this is not an option for everyone- but we are all on different paths.
Bruh i want to be an artist(i like mostly painting and i just started last september drawing/painting courses but yea now *yea anxiety is ascending* but yea the what if's are feeding my anxiety 🙃hehehe i dunno wtf is going on and yea i'm afraid
Also I kind of just comment as they occur in my head while I watch, I assume they help your metrics if they don't ill just calm down and stick to one comment a video lol
Hey, I'm just moving my studio to Brooklyn on Sept 1. You should check out Gowanus Creative spaces. Lots of creators in this giant warehouse. Let me know if you are interested and I can hook you up to the guy who runs it. Good luck.
MERCH RESTOCK! August 20th! slew.us
Im so hype!!!!!!

It's a coincidence. Recently, I started watching and exploring MotoGP and Formula1 too.
Damn the last time i saw your channel you had like 1000 subs 😂
Congrats to almost 200K!
Great Q and A, sounds a lot of revenue streams to keep up with. Do you have to send out patreon tier gifts every month and how do you keep up with creating content for those patreon monthly subscribers ?
