Hey Manuel, thank you so much for watching and enjoying my friend.
Agreed, so powerful.
@@Luthermallory as you can see... I needed this cause I'm using an online alias, "George", instead of my real name 🤣
My thoughts exactly !
I didn't like it. It was about being different. Nothing to do with art.
This is the realest thing I've ever heard
Thanks my friend! Much appreciated.
Making it for me as an artist and a recent widow means supporting myself and my kids without having to lower myself to asking my parents for help paying my rent. But I also believe in making affordable art that ANYONE can buy because to own original art is such a great feeling. I feel stuck between a rock and a hard place.
I feel ya there. My solution? Price your art what it is actually worth, giving you actual money for your hard work. Then, give away your art to those who you are talking about. If you give someone something that’s worth $50 that’s nice, but what if you gave people works of art that were valued at and sold for thousands instead? Same amount of time and effort for you, but the value is increased for you, your collectors, and those you give your works to. You can only underprice your work so much before you lose interest because you’re not getting paid what you know you’re worth.
I was about to say the same as Phillip. A proper paycheck gives you the freedom to be generous.
He's right fitting in is the most terrible , regretable decision i made . When i was little ive been told that grade will define who you are , it will lead to you a successful happy life and as a kid i obeyed them and study hard , i was top 3 and top 2 for how many year on my elementary amd middle school years , high school thats where i struggle to go back at the top , ive becoming a little competitive and judging people if their going to be smarter or dumber than me then until i just gave up i accept the fact that i cant go back up to top 2 and will never go up to top 1 . My friends at that time said to me grades doesnt define who you are , its just a number all people are unique and smart on their own way . Until then i never judge people if their smarter or dumber than me , i said to myself everyone is smart on thier own way and have unique talent . My punishment for fitting in ? I lost my creativity at that time , i never know that i have talent in painting all i know is i know how to sing and dance . I stop dancing because they want me to study hard . Thankgoodness , 2017 all my talent blow off in just one year , i start to practice dancing again and i start to paint water color and in acrylic i start to learn guitar , i start to create beats , learn about music producing , start photography , start to create new hobby like diamond painting . At that time i regret why i didnt enhance and found out all this talent of my but as i think of it im actually thankful that it appear at not little too early and not little too late . Now dont care about people around me . They say i will not be successful as an artist but i know someday , I WILL HAVE A HAPPY LIFE AS AN ARTIST .
I smiled reading this because it is profoundly obvious that you know exactly who you are. You will have a happy life as an Artist. There is no doubt. Thanks for sharing.
Literally me💔
Amazing! so PROUD to say that I grew up with this awesome guy from elementary right through high school and he has ALWAYS been such a genuine, kind and talented young man!
Aye! Nice to hear from you Kim. One of the very rare people in this thread that knows Jason Pierce. lol. ADHS forever!!
“If you not love me at least hate me” Artist
That’s powerful! Thank you 😍😍
Profound words from a man who truly understands the artist psyche. Excellent talk.
What a thing to say! Thanks so much Ben.
He looks great in those jeans!
One of the most profound videos I’ve seen in a while.
Usually don’t post in TH-cam comments section but just wanted to say I’m grateful to have found this while on my journey 🙏🏿
So inspiring Luth! I literally cry and get goosebumps every time I watch this. You're incredible!
Thank you thank you for the help my Queen..
Huh why? He says nothing new or inspiring…
@@Kapojos yes he does! His talk is amazing and he's the most incredible performance coach. Here's a thought - maybe if you don't have anything positive to say, keep it to yourself?
@@chalaspeciale145 definitely no
@@Kapojos ppl like you are the reason why 2021 was such a terrible year. Keep being you buddy! You're a shining light to the world 🕯
Best TED talk ever!
Is about the quality of humans and how we forgot who we really are. Is not about science, medicine or other things that just keep us far from our essence: Peaceful Souls that want to create and share what we love with others.
Thank you Luther!
Best wishes to all POSITIVE CREATORS there. We need you!
Luther, you are an inspiration to so many of us! Well done!
Roz! Thank you so much for watching!
Love this...came at the right time too haha.
I am attending art school but I want to drop out because its making me hate art. I also want to start a business but the doubt/risk of dropping out to learn and grow on my own is killing me!!
Art school can be tricky eh? Look at it this way and let me know if it resonates: art school is only teaching you the "technical" side of creating your art - How to speak the language of your art better. Separate that from the "expressive" side of your art. You're sharpening the language you use express your art, and in turn your life, with more clarity and confidence.
It's also very possible that it's not for you and you can learn it on your own since you appear to have the entrepreneurial drive. I dropped out of music production school because I hated it. Still a music producer!
An incredibly honest, vulnerable talk
This is my favorite ted talk of all time.
Thank you Luther
You're welcome Tamir, and thank you my dude!
YES LUUUTHAAA!!! So good to hear you present this material again, it literally changed me bruv and still is. bam Bam !
YOU are an inspiration my dear friend. Thank you Clear!
I love this guy! thanks for the great talk
THIS IS THE BEST THING IVE SEEN ON TH-cam IN SO LONG THANK YOU
Hey Johnny, thank you so much, I appreciate the caps lock and I'm happy it hit you the way it did.
I have to choose my a levels next week and so glad I came across this talk. You've genuinely put what I'm worried about into words and it makes me feel less alone. I want to be an artist but I know it's a risk and I think I've decided it's a risk I'm willing to take:)
Best news I've heard today, Charlotte. It is a soul feeding pursuit, whether we "make it" or not. Send me your art when you're ready please!
Dude is mad comfy on stage.. I love that
This is damn good. You spoke out your heart and so I feel connected.
one of the BEST tedx talks!!
This is making me smile so much!!!
This is the epitome of a feel-good comment. Thank you for this.

I think someone's " deeply weird" if there's nothing weird about them . I know this is deep.
Great talk, thanks Luther!
Hey thanks! Much appreciated.
YESSS !

fear being judge is real, sacrifice self just so you can fit in, finding out you are not you anymore. i miss me
I really needed to hear that
Thank you 🙏🏼 ❤
Thank You...Great
Much appreciated Cecil, Thank you.
I can 100% relate to the jean story, same thing happened to me, except I needed someone to tell it was because I was wearing jogging pants in Grade 5.
That's it then. We're bringing back jogging pants.
Love this. Gonna share it.
Much appreciated Daniela. I'm thankful you watched and enjoyed!

"If you fit in you lose qualities of your self that makes you special."

That's a masterpiece !

I'm happy to hear that, Zie. Thank you for watching and commenting.
Front ROW GUY!! Get em'!!!!
Great talk
Thank you

This is great advice!!
tHANKYOU HEAPS
Now I will make it!
Great one
The masses are what tell you to be afraid the media is what makes them obey -nathan barraza
"there was a billy goat out there somewhere" was that person's " jeans " moment
My mom is my front row guy , She didn't want me to go to an Art school but I still did it and it was the most liberating thing I have done. My mom has never suppprted me in my art and I finally accepted that I choose my life and that I accepted my self for who I am meant to be and even if they don't believe , I will show them what to believe in because I believe in me💗🌌
I know how you feel, but my grandpa called me woke for being a artist
I'm at the point at 50 years as an artist and making lots of money that success is now just the personal exploration and daily challenge of the evolution of the process and product, and I'm always broke
highkey underated fr
Very much appreciated and happy it reached you.
you defiantly had me at recess
This talk is genius bro. I think that everybody in the comment section now wants to be friends with Luther...
Except for the front-row guy... 😑
Connection is being understood
Make impact
The barrier to connection is risk
I wanna be best friends with this guy!
We tell ourselves who we are and who we should be, then other kids rub it in. Because kids are mean.
Kids are relentless. Everybody out here taking wild guesses about who we are! You're so right.
❤❤❤
AYYYYYYOOOOOOOO
AYYYYYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. you rule.
I am still a kid cause I’m only 12 years old but the critic is in me and I know that😞
lol I didn't like jeans at first too. Too restrictive! I wear them now...
This is crazy. I think the title should be changed to draw in more people so they can see this.
Thanks! Curious about what you'd suggest?! Although I have to power to change it now...
The AYO Billy Goat Part had me laughing so hard
AYOOO!
I think that there's a key point being missed here - and that is that you need a certain amount of charisma and likeability for any kind of risk to ever be remotely successful. It is other humans that decide..always
This guy is wild😂🤣
Damn Dean! You're all over these comments. Fav guy of 2021 so far my man!
I’m 52 and went through a divorce after 28 years. I’ve always done art but I’m now wanting to pursue it. Is it possible at my age?
Dang this guy is brave lol
Massively appreciate that my friend.
Jason Pierce? J Spaceman?,???
This guy just gave me a doze to become Ubermensche
12:08 The moment, where a half of people left.*
Yo Sebastian!
Freddy Mercury and the A... O
the barefoot thing is deep.
😂 true
Another Luther? We have a bond my friend.
I’m going to go against the grain and say I am not looking for connection as an artist. I’m looking for epiphanies or revelations and personal satisfaction and money to live as an artist only, but I’m not doing a Ted talk barefoot.
I don’t know who I am🙄
Homie decided not to wear shoes to a Ted talk
That sucks... sold out. I get it.
