"This being human is a guest house. Every morning a new arrival. A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor." Thanks Ben for all you create and produce for us viewers we see and love it all!!! On behalf of all us artists who are also going through the never ending but exciting cycle of human existence we thank you deeply thanks for "keeping it real" as Heath Ledger would say.
Hey Stan, thanks for dropping some poetic wisdom in the chat :) I appreciate you being here, means the world to me, thank you for bringing your art into the world! Much love!
@@benbrown You mean the world to us, you bring us joy, beauty, light and make us feel 'normal' for everyday emotions that we have a right to feel it's a breath of fresh air...The quote was from a Coldplay song called 'Kaleidoscope' with an album named 'A Head Full Of Dreams' it's got a very Ben Brown esk cover I can tell you that!!! ✨❤
I’ve been in the background of your following in RUclips for the past 10 years or so. What has continued to be strange is that your spiritual journey, or what you have shown us, has been powerfully timed with my journey. When you were travel vlogging I was looking for a distraction when pursuing societal goals. When you had went into reflection and self exploration through meditation, breathing, somatics, and men’s workshops and other things I was also searching. Etc etc. so now I’ve found the self efficacy and worth to look forward and do in 2025. Love ya man. Keep on expressing. And thank you thank you thank you for sharing
Wow Ben giving me to total warm and fuzzies. Sitting here today I picture myself over 10 years ago in a totally different chapter in my life watching your travel vlogs, trying to muster the courage to go and travel myself. All this time later I send you my genuine thanks as your videos truly inspired me to get right out of my comfort zone and see the world. I've lived and worked in several countries around the world since you inspired me to go on my first trip to Canada. Once I have a real home, somewhere in the world, I'll buy one of your prints. Sending lots of love Ben and my ongoing support.
Whenever I feel lost or low I come back to this quote (below) often. I hope others find it useful and comforting: “Curiosity and passion are the enemies of anxiety. Even when I fell into anxiety, if I get curious enough about something outside of me it can help pull me out. Music, art, film, nature, conversation, words. Find passion as large as your fear. The way out of your mind is via the world.” - Matt Haig, The Comfort Book I'm glad you're embracing your art, Ben. 🫶 I love your journey and how you express that journey. Always have, always will. Thank you for sharing. 🙏
We are all on a journey and I am so grateful for you sharing yours. My job and life is very heavily involved in the corporate world and your art and life footage really brings me back down to a level of feeling more human again. I just wanted to say thanks Ben and you are a true artist and inspiration.
What a journey, it just KEEPS GOING doesn't it?! Life is actually pretty long lol, long enough to try all sorts of different paths and ways of being, who knows what's around the corner for us :) Thank you for being here Liam! Much love brother
The true homies / Brownies are here Ben, you're right :) Take it day by day if you need to. Wonderful to see the evolution of your art and your dedication to it.
Hi Ben, I have watched you sporadically over the years, used to watch you a lot back in the day…I honestly can’t think how long you have been on RUclips for…time goes by so quickly. I struggle everyday with me, struggle with finances, struggle with motivation & I have been like this for decades now…funny how just watching your video brought back a sense of nostalgia & comfort to me today.
Hey Ben, I’m glad you have come to the realization of what you really like to do in art. I can tell it is a good feeling to figure that out for you and you are very talented. God tells us that He has created us in His image, not to be a god, but having traits that He has such as being creative. As you mention, we see His creativity and beauty all around us as we are out in nature and the forests. Being able to have these beautiful places to visit is a wonderful gift for sure! We are all on a journey where our creative Creator is drawing us to Himself, His peace, joy, contentment and fulfillment that He wants to give us as a free gift as a part of personally knowing Him.
Hope your 2025 is filled with fun, joy and adventure. Making my way through your vlogs from the beginning - currently at your first trip with Steve to Canada. That hike up the mountain looked insane!
Still with you brother ☀️ Light bursts from my chest for you, thank you for being! I resonate with this so much and have had a rollercoaster of emotions over the past few months. I am now creating space for the growth and welcoming change with open arms 💛 ‘til death do we art
It’s nice to see you again Ben. I’d been wondering what was happening to you, for you, around you, over the last few months. As always, thank you for sharing your story with us. Best wishes from one of your original followers from across the pond in Toronto.
Glad to see you doing better, I resonate with the looking forward more stuff, I’ve been doing the work and had therapy for almost 3 years which is great and insightful but getting more and more to a place of confidence in myself and knowing my wounds and where it’s come from. I know I have the tools and need to keep working on the expressing of feelings, hard when you have a habit of not feeling, being numb and then not being able to articulate how you really feel. Sending you and everyone else love and light in the cold dark months, also agree with getting out in nature, I climbed up Malvern hills the other day on my own and was in awe of being above the clouds, cleared my head a lot after a challenging week
Fuuuuuuk that's amazing, blows my mind, imagine where we'll be in another 10 years... life is wonderful, what a wild journey, thank you for being here :) Much love! x
happy to see you back, Ben. Been watching since the numbered daily vlogs and you've helped me through some dark times. Excited to support you on this journey ☀
So good I see you and hear you Ben! Iv been going through some dark times myself over the last few months so seeing and hearing this update from you is very refreshing, thank you for sharing and connecting. I look forward to seeing your progression on this journey 😊
still here bro, still a fan of your art. ART IS LIFE and you do it really well so keep going. A lesson I learnt recently as a artist when I'm having 'writers block' is that maybe there's too much output and not enough input. Taking the time to absorb art from others fills that creative tank inside of us. Inhale art, exhale art. Thanks Ben
Brodie brother! Thank you for still being here, I appreciate your kind words, and for the reminder to enjoy other people's art too, I want to get into watching film again :)
Hey Ben thanks been around since the pumba days and just appreciate the pillar of light you’ve always been a true source of clarity and direction when there isn’t clarity you a seen ❤ excited for spring
Always love watching you Benson. I always find a min to watch one of your videos. I have found they always ground me and set me up for the week to come.
So happy to see you doing good! For some reason i was looking at audi R8 photos and remembered about your work with Audi and figured i might check up on your channel and was happy to see you still uploading videos. It`s been a while since i've last watched your videos... as if it was yesterday when i got a couple of your prints of "green room" and of an elephant (which are still on the walls here at home in Bulgaria), but going into med school and going trough some hardships I had forgotten how much I love photography and that it was you among a few other people that got me into it. Recently i've started taking more photos again and remembered how much i loved the whole process of just creating something i like, editing it and sharing it with people. At some point in the past i was also thinking of doing prints and monetizing my hobby (and hopefully do a living out of it) but as i said life takes you places you least expect sometimes. It's a journey and no matter what we got to keep going, staying true to what brings us joy and embracing the difficulties as they come. i dont usually comment on videos, because English is not my main language, but i just wanted to thank you for your great work and thank you for inspiring me to do photography, be better and look forward to the good things in life.
I’m so glad you made it through man and back into expressing your creativity. Been with you practically since you first started videos, got many of your prints hung up in my house, even did one of your coaching calls (even with being in the US). I know that feeling of reaching the bottom of it all, pondering the weight of being here or not. I’m praying for you man, I’ve been there. Jesus truly helped me get out of that dark mindset I kept finding myself in. In such a crazy world, we’re always trying to find our purpose and the truth. I pray you look into having a relationship with him because you will find it. But regardless I’m glad you’re doing better and your back. You’ve been there for me through your creativity and even talking to you for the coaching session in a period where I was at a crossroad in life. I’m here for you too dude 🙏🏻
Nice to see you again What a journey you've been on all these years Glad to hear you're enjoying what you do and it's actually the best to express ourselves how we want to see the world a kind warm peaceful and beautiful world filled with art and other things like We humans are pushing away from our true calm nature these days by so many instruments by our choice or out of lack of good knowledge Great job you are doing to spread the word of calmness and kindness and true happiness away from the secular world Anticipated to see you more
You have, are and continue to be one of my favorite and most inspiring teachers in this planetary Earth existence! 🌎 Thank You a million billion times over, DEEP GRATITUDE Brother! ❤ ✨️Cosmic Peace and Chrysalis 🦋 ✨️Great Global Mutiny 💐 💪
I bumped into Ben in LDN once - I felt a bit embarrassed being that guy who approaches a RUclipsr to say hi, it's not really my usual vibe. But I was glad I did. He was super open and we had a little chat that left me with a real warm glow. The dudes energy was really nice. Anyway, sorry to hear about your struggles man, I feel you, and power to you in your work.
I appreciate so much of what you've shared over the years 🧡 I find it interesting how some times your own journey aligns with others, even if it is for just a moment, and then you receive that extra boost to continue and follow the path I have set out on. Thank you again! This time I would like to offer something back too. I am currently reading a great book that I think you might find really valuable as well! I find it to be very relevant in trying a bit learn forward, as well as learning to how handle the resistance within - the resistance that loves to keep us focused on anything other than our art (like our past). It's called 'The War of Art by Steven Pressfield' and was written from one artist/writer to another, it's amazing. Much love!
I don't know where I heard about this channel and why I followed you but when this video popped up in my wall It made me realize many things about myself too .. thank you and I'm all the way in with your project.. good luck
I have noticed that my mind has focused on the past and over analyzing too much therefore I’m not allowing my mind to be liberated from what has already happened. For me it’s been more about allowing processing through feelings and writing it down taking what you want from it and then moving forward. I’ve been able to do this sort of thing for a few weeks now. After a difficult end to 2024 I have been feeling so much better and more true to myself. I’ve felt more emotional and expressive. It’s a rollercoaster for sure but it’s manageable and it’s me and I now know where I stand because I have feelings and I know what they tell me.
Hey Ben! Happy to hear that you feeling better when you make art! And that it gives you energy! Doing things that WE love is so important. And dont look at a negative way to other people. But at the positive side and give love.. so important. But not always easy!❤ Make art Ben and i hope you doing. And looking forward to feel the sun! Thanks for sharing Ben. Greetings Elroy from the Netherlands
Thanks Ben, been following you on and off since 2013. It’s been a narly journey for you. Thanks for sharing. I’m about 10 years younger than you but I really resonate with your path in some ways. Particulary your emotional, spiritual and self expression journey. I was feeling what you were expressing in this video just this morning. Although, I am a musician and want to find the courage to pursue it as well as the finances haha. I’ve never shared my music before, so it’s a very vulnerable thing and self- expression still is a struggle. Your video gave me hope, strength and courage. Let’s go Brother!!! Thank you ♥️
Ah brother! I'm so happy to hear you're resonating with me and that things I share, we are artists and the world needs art more than ever, its not only healing for us, but everyone else too, especially when it comes from a deeply authentic space, make the art, share the art, fuck perfection, it's meant to be messy, just like emotions! Much love brother, thank you for being part of this journey x
All I would say is you do you. Mental health is vital, whatever helps you through do no matter what 'the audience want'. The words dont want to be here anymore are scary woth a recent loss in our friendship circle so please get help from professionals if needed. Here since the start and have enjoyed seeing your content evolve as youve grown. All the best Ben Rach
Thank you for the encouragement to get out into nature. I've been struggling with that lately, somehow. Was excited to see this upload and felt drawn to it. Excited for the next one man!
Yess 💪👊 I love your art. Please do videos again. They are so aesthetic. And you always inspiring me to think about myself and grow and also to go in nature and do photos.
Thank you! Videos are coming, who knows what they’ll be like, some visual vibes, some just sharing positivity, some about art I think too since it’s front and centre in my life now, thank you SO much for being here 🙏🏼🩵
So glad for you Ben, I hope your new found out look remains strong and seeds of creativity begin to flourish with this new found light! I've found that some of the most formative parts of my life have flourished from adversity channelled through creativity! I hope to see some of your Art & also the HUGE backlog of photography available on print some time! x
Thank you Chris, since I found you on IG I've been listening to your beautiful music everyday! I feel like I'm taking a long slow afternoon walk through the countryside with you each time, so calm, so honest and so authentic, love it! My hard drives are all in Cape Town! So I need to get back there and have a little peek in and see if there are some images that want to be in the 3D :D
Yes Ben! Copped myself a T-shirt and some prints hope your well love these videos man they really inspire me to get out there and just smash life and hoping you are well too! Keep going bro you got this your art is just 🔥 Gotta get a life lately part 5 too haha those were such good videos 💙
My mom always used to ask me when I was depressed, if I had been making art recently, if I had been sailing recently, if I had been hiking recently? Good to see you are creating. There is only 1 plan for us artists, and that is Plan A. There is no plan B. Hugs from Seattle.
If a day goes by without my doing something related to photography, it's as though I've neglected something essential to my existence, as though I had forgotten to wake up. Welcome to the best moments of your life my friend… (ps that quote is I think from Richard Avedon)
Ben, I dont think I have very commented before but ive been watching though it all! vlogs, the moto cycle accident and the new ben. Over they years you have inspired me, help me and changed me. Excited for this beautiful shift. I don't have the means to buy anything at this moment but will defiantly return the favour and show my gratitude for you in the future. Cant wait to have something to remind myself of what it did for me in the past and continues to do for me. Have a wonderful day. Dane :)
Yessss Tom! The dark days have their teachings and now we are welcoming the light of spring and the real new year (not the false Gregorian mid-winter one lol) I am grateful for this winter season and look forward to building onwards and upwards into spring, this year is going to be NEXT LEVEL ✨✨✨ I hope you’re navigating the changes with grace and being gentle with yourself, unconditional self love is the new bitcoin fam, you got this 🙏🏼🩵
We are not separate from the universe we are the universe. And so we are just as much for example a tree or a book as we are the body, or everyone else as much as the immediate body. So everyone’s achievements are just as much your achievements: you painted the Mona Lisa, you designed the Sagrada Família, you ran 100m in 9.58 seconds etc. There is no other or external it is all you/ the universe. The universe or existence could also be referred to as God, all there is is God. In the universe being us, or in us being the universe, that could also be said as we are doing this. We are being or doing our entire experience, and furthermore everything that has ever happened or will happen. It is us which identifies anything being in particular to give it individuality but when we are not doing that and furthermore regardless if we do that there is already everything free from the need for anything in particular to be identified and so everything as a whole or wholeness, absolute freedom (non-duality). Change the past in the future - a look into the existence of time by Henry N
I love you so much dear brother. You are a gem. Looking forward to see your creations. Unemployed currently… so there’s that But this was a pick me up Post again soon 😎
Thank you for the love sister 🩵 keep trusting and following your intuition, your inner oracle knows that all is unfolding in perfection, even if it doesn’t seem like it! Sending you love 🫶🏼
Thank you for sharing and the video you made the other day was beautiful. I love the idea of planting seeds of light in the darkness, just what everyone needs right now. I wrote a poem recently and what you said made me think of it. Thought I’d share in case it resonates with you or anyone reading. There’s a little me inside that marches to my heart beats drum And that little me stands beside a flame through which my heart strings strung What started off as embers now inside that chamber roars So that little me that marches on is ready to explore Out into the darkness my fire warms the way I don’t know what rounds the bend but here I cannot stay With a steely expression yet arms that stretch out wide That little me that marches on welcomes pain inside In its absence out the fire goes pain the flame ignites So rage within the darkness fight within the pain even as your hope rescinds believe you’re here to stay As little me marches on a wind through fire sweeps and little me, in the dark, an ancient love I seek
Yes, forward. Finally pressing play. Me, too. 🤩 Not Stopping or Rewinding, just ▶️. Look at your hand if you forget. 😋 Playing is flowing… Using your Attention to manifest what you want. Bad emotions only show you what you DO want. It can be so easy… ease… Oh man… it can be so easy… ❤ Love and light to you. And a very 3D-question: Can there be a different option in paying.. Maybe? 🙈 I would love to buy your Art, but I don‘t have PayPal… Maybe other people, too?
Ahhh thank you for the reminder, it can be so easy :) with the PayPal I'm pretty sure you don't need an account, it should just take payments like normal too, let me know if that's the case, but yes I'll also try to add another option! * edit - I've just added more payment options :) also, if you click on PayPal, a box pops up with an option to 'pay by debit of credit card' so you don't need to create an account :)
Real question, what happened to all of your other filming equipment and are you starting from literal ground zero again? Sometimes we need just that! I can still remember your daily vlogs and tuning in every single day, and the feeling of watching them. It was almost like watching a form of art, with how cinematic and visually pleasing your vlogs were, compared to a lot of other creators. Rooting for you brother!
Great question! I actually sold it all when I was struggling with the coaching business, needed the money… I literally cried many times recently when I realised how FAR I went in the ‘wrong’ direction, so sad that I had like £10k of canon gear and sold it… I SOLD IT. WTF WAS I THINKING. I was trying to be someone I’m not, on a path that was not mine. But you’re also right, sometime we need to lose it all to gain it all. Now I’m SO DAMN GRATEFUL for the little Sony I kept! Thank you for rooting for me, I really feel so supported 🙏🏼🩵

Life is a journey - we love hearing your updates. thanks ben
Neurographic art and Zentangle are so healing. They have helped me so much. Peace to you, Ben. 🙏🏻
felt your energy in this video, excited to see this next chapter of yours dude. you got this 💙
Whenever I feel lost or low I come back to this quote (below) often. I hope others find it useful and comforting:
“Curiosity and passion are the enemies of anxiety. Even when I fell into anxiety, if I get curious enough about something outside of me it can help pull me out. Music, art, film, nature, conversation, words. Find passion as large as your fear. The way out of your mind is via the world.”
- Matt Haig, The Comfort Book
I'm glad you're embracing your art, Ben. 🫶 I love your journey and how you express that journey. Always have, always will. Thank you for sharing. 🙏
Art is the way! Excited to see more from you this year bru! 💙
Yes bro! So happy you're still in this space too :')
I can hear the serenity in your voice. Thank you for continuing to show your vulnerability.
good man Ben, i remember buying one of your artic boat prints when i was 16, hung it in my room. Now i live in paris living as an artist.
Human to human, I am so glad that you are still here, finding your way back to making art and sharing it with us ❤
Been watching for a long time since the Casey collab days and the daily vlogs and films you put out. Thank you for all your beautiful art and heart
Spring and a new dawn is nearly here. Am busy on my homestead getting ready for it to arrive. Blessed be x
We are all on a journey and I am so grateful for you sharing yours.
My job and life is very heavily involved in the corporate world and your art and life footage really brings me back down to a level of feeling more human again.
I just wanted to say thanks Ben and you are a true artist and inspiration.
What a journey, it just KEEPS GOING doesn't it?! Life is actually pretty long lol, long enough to try all sorts of different paths and ways of being, who knows what's around the corner for us :)
Thank you for being here Liam! Much love brother
Sending love from Vancouver BC 🇨🇦 🍁
I've been watching your videos for over 7 years, mate!
Legend thank you! 🙏🏼 I miss Canada 🍁
Needed this in such a moment x Helped to regulate my nervous system and stand back into my own truth. Love to you
The true homies / Brownies are here Ben, you're right :) Take it day by day if you need to. Wonderful to see the evolution of your art and your dedication to it.
That mandala you created!! 🎉🤯👌🎯👍😁🤯🤯🌸🫶🌸🔥👌💗🥳
Hi Ben, I have watched you sporadically over the years, used to watch you a lot back in the day…I honestly can’t think how long you have been on RUclips for…time goes by so quickly. I struggle everyday with me, struggle with finances, struggle with motivation & I have been like this for decades now…funny how just watching your video brought back a sense of nostalgia & comfort to me today.
I totally agree!
I wrote down your words at the beginning of this video. They really hit me. I have a person in my life how needs to hear exactly this. Thanks dude.
You are so welcome :) thanks for being here!
Great to see you, Ben. RUclips is craving for some epic Visual Vibes, Let's Go!
Hey Ben, I’m glad you have come to the realization of what you really like to do in art. I can tell it is a good feeling to figure that out for you and you are very talented.

Ah thank you my bro :)
Hi Ben ! Good to hear from you. And congratulations on finding out you are an artist at heart! Now you can truly do your purpose.
Keep to your path, art is life

Thank you so much for sticking around and checking in :) 10 years, wow, a lot can change in 10 weeks! Blessed to have you here, much love 🙏🏼
Nice to see you again
What a journey you've been on all these years
Glad to hear you're enjoying what you do and it's actually the best to express ourselves how we want to see the world a kind warm peaceful and beautiful world filled with art and other things like
We humans are pushing away from our true calm nature these days by so many instruments by our choice or out of lack of good knowledge
Great job you are doing to spread the word of calmness and kindness and true happiness away from the secular world
Anticipated to see you more
Nice to have you here in the space, I appreciate you, thank you for seeing me 🙏🏼🩵
You have, are and continue to be one of my favorite and most inspiring teachers in this planetary Earth existence! 🌎 Thank You a million billion times over, DEEP GRATITUDE Brother! ❤

I bumped into Ben in LDN once - I felt a bit embarrassed being that guy who approaches a RUclipsr to say hi, it's not really my usual vibe. But I was glad I did. He was super open and we had a little chat that left me with a real warm glow. The dudes energy was really nice. Anyway, sorry to hear about your struggles man, I feel you, and power to you in your work.
I'm a mirror for your warm a kind energy :) much love! x
Still here mate great to see another video you are an amazing artist and creator we love you follow your dreams we will be here supporting you ❤
I appreciate so much of what you've shared over the years 🧡 I find it interesting how some times your own journey aligns with others, even if it is for just a moment, and then you receive that extra boost to continue and follow the path I have set out on. Thank you again! This time I would like to offer something back too. I am currently reading a great book that I think you might find really valuable as well! I find it to be very relevant in trying a bit learn forward, as well as learning to how handle the resistance within - the resistance that loves to keep us focused on anything other than our art (like our past). It's called 'The War of Art by Steven Pressfield' and was written from one artist/writer to another, it's amazing. Much love!
I don't know where I heard about this channel and why I followed you but when this video popped up in my wall It made me realize many things about myself too .. thank you and I'm all the way in with your project.. good luck
I'm really happy you're here bro, thanks for the energy and enthusiasm ❤️🔥
I have noticed that my mind has focused on the past and over analyzing too much therefore I’m not allowing my mind to be liberated from what has already happened. For me it’s been more about allowing processing through feelings and writing it down taking what you want from it and then moving forward.
I’ve been able to do this sort of thing for a few weeks now. After a difficult end to 2024 I have been feeling so much better and more true to myself. I’ve felt more emotional and expressive.
It’s a rollercoaster for sure but it’s manageable and it’s me and I now know where I stand because I have feelings and I know what they tell me.
Super happy you’ve found your love for art again! But regardless of what you do, we will always be here supporting you ❤️
Good to see another video upload mate, listening to you whilst I’m typing this, my mental health has not been that great either.. take care bud ☕️
This is amazing , you have found your true purpose. I look forward to seeing your new journey. Big love , an OG
Hey Ben! Happy to hear that you feeling better when you make art! And that it gives you energy! Doing things that WE love is so important. And dont look at a negative way to other people. But at the positive side and give love.. so important. But not always easy!❤ Make art Ben and i hope you doing. And looking forward to feel the sun! Thanks for sharing Ben. Greetings Elroy from the Netherlands
Would love to see Visual Vibes come back! Also really love the psychedelic stuff aswell though!
Thanks Ben, been following you on and off since 2013. It’s been a narly journey for you. Thanks for sharing. I’m about 10 years younger than you but I really resonate with your path in some ways. Particulary your emotional, spiritual and self expression journey. I was feeling what you were expressing in this video just this morning. Although, I am a musician and want to find the courage to pursue it as well as the finances haha. I’ve never shared my music before, so it’s a very vulnerable thing and self- expression still is a struggle. Your video gave me hope, strength and courage. Let’s go Brother!!! Thank you ♥️
Ah brother! I'm so happy to hear you're resonating with me and that things I share, we are artists and the world needs art more than ever, its not only healing for us, but everyone else too, especially when it comes from a deeply authentic space, make the art, share the art, fuck perfection, it's meant to be messy, just like emotions! Much love brother, thank you for being part of this journey x
@ ☮️
All I would say is you do you.
Mental health is vital, whatever helps you through do no matter what 'the audience want'.
The words dont want to be here anymore are scary woth a recent loss in our friendship circle so please get help from professionals if needed. Here since the start and have enjoyed seeing your content evolve as youve grown.
All the best Ben
Rach
Thank you for the encouragement to get out into nature. I've been struggling with that lately, somehow. Was excited to see this upload and felt drawn to it. Excited for the next one man!
Yess 💪👊
I love your art. Please do videos again. They are so aesthetic.
And you always inspiring me to think about myself and grow and also to go in nature and do photos.
Thank you! Videos are coming, who knows what they’ll be like, some visual vibes, some just sharing positivity, some about art I think too since it’s front and centre in my life now, thank you SO much for being here 🙏🏼🩵
@@benbrown🤗💕
So glad for you Ben, I hope your new found out look remains strong and seeds of creativity begin to flourish with this new found light!
I've found that some of the most formative parts of my life have flourished from adversity channelled through creativity! I hope to see some of your Art & also the HUGE backlog of photography available on print some time! x
Thank you Chris, since I found you on IG I've been listening to your beautiful music everyday! I feel like I'm taking a long slow afternoon walk through the countryside with you each time, so calm, so honest and so authentic, love it! My hard drives are all in Cape Town! So I need to get back there and have a little peek in and see if there are some images that want to be in the 3D :D
so good to see posts from you, cant wait to see what you create. you inspire me to get into my own art!!! bring on 2025
Yes Ben! Copped myself a T-shirt and some prints hope your well love these videos man they really inspire me to get out there and just smash life and hoping you are well too! Keep going bro you got this your art is just 🔥 Gotta get a life lately part 5 too haha those were such good videos 💙
We are here mate :) keep posting
Big love from Cape Town ♥
My mom always used to ask me when I was depressed, if I had been making art recently, if I had been sailing recently, if I had been hiking recently? Good to see you are creating. There is only 1 plan for us artists, and that is Plan A. There is no plan B. Hugs from Seattle.
Wise Mumsy you got there :) thanks for sharing, I appreciate you being here, part of my journey, here’s to burning the boats!! 🔥👁️🙏🏼🩵
Amazing Ben! ❤
If a day goes by without my doing something related to photography, it's as though I've neglected something essential to my existence, as though I had forgotten to wake up. Welcome to the best moments of your life my friend… (ps that quote is I think from Richard Avedon)
Ben, I dont think I have very commented before but ive been watching though it all! vlogs, the moto cycle accident and the new ben. Over they years you have inspired me, help me and changed me. Excited for this beautiful shift. I don't have the means to buy anything at this moment but will defiantly return the favour and show my gratitude for you in the future. Cant wait to have something to remind myself of what it did for me in the past and continues to do for me. Have a wonderful day. Dane :)
I’m proud of you brother 🙏
Thank you bro 🙏🏼
Good on you Ben. You got this.
Onwards and upwards! Glad to see this video - been looking forward to hearing where you're at, I'm in a similar place.
Yessss Tom! The dark days have their teachings and now we are welcoming the light of spring and the real new year (not the false Gregorian mid-winter one lol) I am grateful for this winter season and look forward to building onwards and upwards into spring, this year is going to be NEXT LEVEL ✨✨✨
I hope you’re navigating the changes with grace and being gentle with yourself, unconditional self love is the new bitcoin fam, you got this 🙏🏼🩵
I hope you also consider your videos as part of your art. Your Visual Vibes are beautiful.
Don’t think just do. Overthinking is poison
Yes bro am excited for you.
Glad you're doing well, Ben.
Let's f. gooo Ben! 😁🤙💚💚💚
Good for you, Ben

@ ohh boy i don’t think that’s a good idea
We are not separate from the universe we are the universe. And so we are just as much for example a tree or a book as we are the body, or everyone else as much as the immediate body. So everyone’s achievements are just as much your achievements: you painted the Mona Lisa, you designed the Sagrada Família, you ran 100m in 9.58 seconds etc. There is no other or external it is all you/ the universe. The universe or existence could also be referred to as God, all there is is God. In the universe being us, or in us being the universe, that could also be said as we are doing this. We are being or doing our entire experience, and furthermore everything that has ever happened or will happen.
It is us which identifies anything being in particular to give it individuality but when we are not doing that and furthermore regardless if we do that there is already everything free from the need for anything in particular to be identified and so everything as a whole or wholeness, absolute freedom (non-duality).

True homie here Ben sending positive vibes from the Peruvian Andes 😊
Best of luck Ben
Nah man, def not gone.
I love you so much dear brother.
You are a gem. Looking forward to see your creations.
Unemployed currently… so there’s that
But this was a pick me up
Post again soon 😎
Thank you for the love sister 🩵 keep trusting and following your intuition, your inner oracle knows that all is unfolding in perfection, even if it doesn’t seem like it! Sending you love 🫶🏼
True homies baby ❤️
Yes fam, big love to you :)
Rooting for you.
Appreciate you :) x
Thank you for sharing and the video you made the other day was beautiful. I love the idea of planting seeds of light in the darkness, just what everyone needs right now. I wrote a poem recently and what you said made me think of it. Thought I’d share in case it resonates with you or anyone reading.
There’s a little me inside that marches to my heart beats drum And that little me stands beside a flame through which my heart strings strung
What started off as embers
now inside that chamber roars
So that little me that marches on is ready to explore
Out into the darkness
my fire warms the way
I don’t know what rounds the bend
but here I cannot stay
With a steely expression
yet arms that stretch out wide
That little me that marches on welcomes pain inside
In its absence out the fire goes
pain the flame ignites
So rage within the darkness
fight within the pain
even as your hope rescinds
believe you’re here to stay
As little me marches on a wind through fire sweeps
and little me, in the dark, an ancient love I seek
Yes, forward. Finally pressing play. Me, too. 🤩
Not Stopping or Rewinding, just ▶️. Look at your hand if you forget. 😋 Playing is flowing… Using your Attention to manifest what you want.
Bad emotions only show you what you DO want. It can be so easy… ease… Oh man… it can be so easy… ❤ Love and light to you.
And a very 3D-question: Can there be a different option in paying.. Maybe? 🙈 I would love to buy your Art, but I don‘t have PayPal… Maybe other people, too?
Ahhh thank you for the reminder, it can be so easy :) with the PayPal I'm pretty sure you don't need an account, it should just take payments like normal too, let me know if that's the case, but yes I'll also try to add another option!
* edit - I've just added more payment options :) also, if you click on PayPal, a box pops up with an option to 'pay by debit of credit card' so you don't need to create an account :)
@@benbrown Wonderful, thank you, Ben! Sometimes some has just to try it out before thinking it cannot work out. ;) Order is placed. 🥏🌞
still here man! same for me without listening to music! glad you are back, watching you since tuktuk vlogs :) i'm with you Ben :)
Legend! Thank you 🙏🏼🙏🏼
I'm grateful for you too Ben. How am I doing? Better
Real question, what happened to all of your other filming equipment and are you starting from literal ground zero again? Sometimes we need just that! I can still remember your daily vlogs and tuning in every single day, and the feeling of watching them. It was almost like watching a form of art, with how cinematic and visually pleasing your vlogs were, compared to a lot of other creators. Rooting for you brother!
Great question! I actually sold it all when I was struggling with the coaching business, needed the money… I literally cried many times recently when I realised how FAR I went in the ‘wrong’ direction, so sad that I had like £10k of canon gear and sold it… I SOLD IT. WTF WAS I THINKING. I was trying to be someone I’m not, on a path that was not mine. But you’re also right, sometime we need to lose it all to gain it all. Now I’m SO DAMN GRATEFUL for the little Sony I kept! Thank you for rooting for me, I really feel so supported 🙏🏼🩵
We haven't left mate!
Yay :)
@ what happened with your job mate if you don’t mind me asking?
Love you Ben……..hugs
Love you too! x
❤️💫❤️💫❤️💫❤️💫❤️
