I think of this studio space as an ever evolving project... and certainly my biggest project ever. I have learned so much managing this place through a lot of ups and downs. I would not be here without the people watching my videos and supporting me so thank you so much to the people that do, and those who have followed my journey. Change is the only constant in life and I am so excited to swtich things up with STUDIO SLEW. Again to clarify this is just a new venture im trying to build on top of the stuff I already do. I am super passionate about trying to create a space for people to be inspired, entertained, and learn art. That was the point of my RUclips channel from the start! Now I am motivated to create a space IN PERSON not just on the internet. I will always make RUclips videos of my personal projects... i cant not haha! But just really excited for the future of contuning what I love to do and trying to build something new. Nothing but love! -SLEW Here is the Studio Build Playlist: ruclips.net/p/PLBjJspuMVCRVI6_dX93PE8aD65TQcKOg8 Time Stamps: 0:00 - History of my Studios 1:12 - Rent Price and General Info 2:46 - What has stayed the same 3:18 - Kitchenette and food 4:00 - Production and Photo Corner 6:06 - Model Room and Extra Office 7:28 - VIDEO EDITING! 11:48 - Library and Storage 13:50 - Gear and Tool Shelves 15:56 - Personal Office and Painting Studio 20:31 - Computer Setup 21:30 - Lighting Gear 24:33 - Camera Gear 26:37 - The Main Space + STUDIO SLEW 32:57 - Final Thoughts
As a former New Yorker, I can attest that $4,500 per month for that space is FANTASTICALLY CHEAP!! There are one room apartments in Manhattan, studio apartments, that rent for that amount each month, (depending on their locations, etc.).
@@billypilgrim1 It's not "dumb," it's what you have to pay to live in NYC. Yes, there are cheaper apartments to be found, but they are harder and harder to find. Actually, for that apartment--in Manhattan--the rent is not really too outlandish.
@@robertcook2680 It's not dumb if you have the money to pay for it. If you're a regular artist, with no 500k youtube channel or a safety net back at home to bail you out in case you have a rough month, it's incredibly stupid.
@@billypilgrim1 But, as you point out, an artist who could not afford that rent would not rent a studio for that sum. Their lack of funds would prohibit their doing something so "dumb." He or she would have to find a studio within his or her price range. It would not be such a grand space, but such a grand space is not necessary to do one's work. Nice, but not necessary.
@@robertcook2680 also, slew said it in some older videos, it is not needed, he could make it work in a small space, but only for him, and that's not what he wanted. He is an artist who wants to pass knowledge and be useful to the art comunity. People don't get that.
Just when I think you've reached your mountain top, you find a taller mountain! Each iteration is better than the last! I'm going to need the t-shirt and some Studio Slew stickers!😉 I love these long format videos!
I believe a lot of artist who watch artists gets nervous, it happens to me watching your videos. Makes me want to question where am I going and in a good way you truly make stunning videos and I can't get disturbed watching every posted videos definitely @Slew 😅😅❤❤❤❤
I post art videos that I make in my room on my iphone with the help of a couple tripods and an overhead stand. One reason I didn’t start earlier was because I thought I needed all this equipment and cameras but honestly slew is right, you don’t really need a whole lot 🥰
Thank you so much for creating this video. You have answered all the questions I had about lighting, camera equipment and editing software. It is almost like you read my mind. 😂😊 Part of me was thinking that it is a shame you can't do a deal with your landlord that would mean that eventually you would own your studio. I have been thinking for a few years about shared creative spaces, where like minded people can go to create larger artworks. Take part in classes. Form a community. What you are doing encapsulates all that. You have the vision to make it work. When you first start something it feels overwhelming and chaotic. I think it is meant to be that way. You are building something amazing. I will definitely come and visit. Everything is in limbo at the moment with waiting to hear when we can move into our new place. I am so egar to start on a new adventure. Wishing you success SLEW. You are living the dream. ❤🎉
I pay $850 per month for my big Tattoo Studio That has my whole House connected to it in the back in Northern Wisconsin. $4500 here could get you a warehouse bigger then 10huns Studio with a house connected to it lol. New York is not worth it man. You want to put that money into equity while you're young and not into someone elses pocket
Booya! Amazing. I am always fascinated by you far you came. What you painted, build and how you documented it. The new studio, the podcast and now your own art school. You have been an inspiration and motivation for me over many years now!
Very informative on all levels! I know not many people have the chance to have a studio space. At one point I had a building with a studio and a retail store front. It wasn’t huge, but did what it was intended for. Since then, my work areas have been very small, and I couldn’t call them my own, since it was someone else’s building. Until this year, when I purchased a building and put it on my property, where I am currently in the process of finishing the inside. I said all of that to say you broke down all the areas that any decent studio should have. I of course still limited by space, am incorporating some of your(and other artists) ideas. Implementing a French cleat wall for painting, which I’m adding a Murphy table as well so that I can have a table when needed, and put it away when painting. So your ideas get out to us artists even if we don’t have the space as you do. Speaking of space, and the cost there of, I know how pricey renting can be in your area, but still, that monthly rent has to be daunting to you. I feel you have to be pretty successful in order to afford that. Very proud of what you have accomplished! I basically have been watching your videos since you first moved into your other studio space, and the growth has been exciting! So my question to you is this: do you find that trying produce art, takes a back seat to the videos, and the editing? I’m just now trying to get myself to video some of my work, but due time constraints on painting, lack of dedicated setups,(which will change once the studio is finished) I can’t seem to manage art against video shooting and editing. How do you manage? Thanks for all you do! One day I may get money and time enough to come do a drawing class. It would be a great experience I am sure. ❤❤
i was nearly sick when i heard 4500 a month, cant imagine the stress you have some months, hope you keep smashing it and it becomes a breeze to pay for
First video I watch of your channel, (someone recommended it in another video) I don't know you but I'm so happy for you! The place is like a dream! Wishing you the best in your future projects!!
Hey!!! Awesome studio, bro! I've seen your journey through all these years, and I'm super proud! Also, it's fantastic to see my comic, Techfilter, on your shelf!! Haha
You might be able to like add an extension to that table when you need it. The table that you feel is a little too small when you wanna gesso bigger paintings. I wonder if you could add an attachment to it that you could take off when you don’t want to use it. Just a thought. I have a table that can be very skinny or very large because the table folds down when I need it too. It’s nice that you have a table that can adjust to different heights :-)It’s very cool that you’re living your dream :-)
Watching your studio grow over the years has been SO inspiring, thanks for sharing! The spaces you've created are beautiful, intentional, and inviting :)
Booya ! Greeting from germany ! i love your art and videos, it‘s a dream of mine to be in your studio and take a drawing class, hopefully I have a own studio in the future once in which i can put much afford and dedication like you. You inspiring people bro !
BOOYA! Right now I'm going to school for art at LSU and I'm taking a figure drawing class. It's crazy how much improvement it'll bring. Hope to visit your studio one day and do a figure drawing session. Keep up the amazing work!
Booya! Man this is all excellent useful knowledge for artists wanted to get started in my opinion. I’m constantly on the fence about starting and documenting my art work and videos like these always give me the extra mental boost to pick up the camera and record.
This was such an inspiring video. You’ve come along so far since the old studio. Congratulations! The next 3 years are going to be amazing for you. Hope I can take a class out in NY sometime. Cheers from Chicago. Booya!
Support and Respect...Sawdust 😅....Anyways from a fellow Artist 🎨 Love what the new generation is doing with Creativity to change their world in a positive way ✨️
Damn bro, I figured it was expensive but 4500 a month is IMPRESSIVE to be able to afford as an independent artist who doesnt have THAT crazy of a following, like for example tenhun does.
Hi Slew, I was wondering if you would tell me that name/brand of the art horses in your studio. I'm shopping for one now and yours looks sturdy and functional. Thanks.

As an aspiring artist this made me teary eyed wow
Doing an ad read for Filmora while editing on Premiere Pro is top shelf comedy.
Booya! I just have to say, you are going to change lives and I can’t wait to watch.
Just when I think you've reached your mountain top, you find a taller mountain! Each iteration is better than the last! I'm going to need the t-shirt and some Studio Slew stickers!😉 I love these long format videos!
The curse of non stop switching it up !

I just wonder how tf did this man learn so fields of art/engineering while selling art, editing videos and improving. Goated
❤❤❤
This space is INCREDIBLE- you did such a fantastic job putting it together. Absolutely a dream space to visit or tour 🙌
Would it be possible in the future to join the drawing sessions online for those of us who can’t make it to NYC? Love the longer vids- booyah!!
I post art videos that I make in my room on my iphone with the help of a couple tripods and an overhead stand. One reason I didn’t start earlier was because I thought I needed all this equipment and cameras but honestly slew is right, you don’t really need a whole lot 🥰
Amazing studio, a lot of work, great art... just classic painting ! God bless you. Hello From Slovakia

Thank you for sharing this tour. Congratulations on your new venture. Blessings.
Only $4,500? I'm jealous! Last I read, average apartment rent here in NYC is $5,115. Count your blessings!
Hahaha idk if that price is accurate for average apartments
@@slewp Too low or too high? 😂😂
BOOYAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i was nearly sick when i heard 4500 a month, cant imagine the stress you have some months, hope you keep smashing it and it becomes a breeze to pay for

Booya! I always love getting to see your processes and set ups. So informative!
Loved this. I just built my dream art studio too. Thank you for inspiring me to start my youtube journey! Rich

Bros really spent like 1m on an art studio, inspirational
BOOYA
(i dont even know what else to say) Boo ya!
Your welcome.
Hi Slew, I was wondering if you would tell me that name/brand of the art horses in your studio. I'm shopping for one now and yours looks sturdy and functional. Thanks.
It’s called a Belgium Art Horse from Jerry’s Artarama!
I am curious about what do you offer options search as still life we know you do figure painting as naked as you guys say in the nude etcetera?
booyah
booyahhhhh

Do you sell any of your paintings?

Where do you get those drawing benches?
