Hey, hope you enjoyed this one. Do drop a comment if there's ways that help you balance your own time between projects/creative passions (the more voices around here the better). Peace to all those following along with the videos.
Many years ago at a job when i was in my 20’s…I had a lot of creative pursuits. One day I announced to a co worker that I was going to start repainting old furniture and maybe learn how to re-upholster. She suddenly blurted out…”You just need to find one thing and stick to it. You are all over the place. Finding one thing you like to do and sticking to it is the key to success.” I know she meant well but my gut was shouting, “STFU!” I never forgot it. But I never could just find one thing to stick to, except painting, now for a solid 9 years. It took all those other explorations to get to the painting. They all contributed experiences to who I am right now. I still have other interests but I stick to painting as my constant and everything else informs my painting. If you need to create, just create. All creative pursuits are honing your creative process and adding a tapestry of color to your life as a whole.
Definitely understand. I have had tons of different interests over the years that I got into. Really fun. A year and half ago I started a woodworking channel. One of the best things I have done. I think that has forced me to get better faster. Keep doing your thing man.
I changed my mind set and now one creative outlet impacts my other art forms. When I'm doing photography, I'm also building my painting references and catalog. When I'm running, I'm finding photography inspiration. When I'm teaching art lessons I'm improving my own skills. When I host figure drawing events, I'm building my drawing skills and in turn my painting skills. When I'm editing photos, I'm refining my drawing and painting composition and color grading skills. It's all linked together.
Your garden analogy reminds me of the idea of “creative crop rotation.” When one lets a creative pursuit rest, and then tends to another, it allows for more vitality and depth when it’s returned to.
This is just what I needed to hear. I constantly beat myself up jumping from one creative project to another and with this carry around a restlessness and guilt at not focusing in on one form. I love your constant curiosity and willingness to embrace each journey!
I've been thinking about that last poi nt a lot, where you'll have a lifetimes work to look back on. It relaxes me to not put so much pressure on the one project in hand. I don't go into a project thinking about how to reflect myself, I just let the work do that for me and when I look back I can then see how the work reflected me.
Thanks for this. Made me think of honing my creativity as a practice of harnessing my power while relinquishing control and trusting my instincts while remaining open to the unknown.
I think building your own aesthetic through your own principles and codes by being disciplined and not waiting for the muse all the time to come around for you to create art is the best way to be an artist and gain respect from the audience for being different and standing on your own ground regardless of criticism and critiques.
Sprints. It's how tech startups do things- spend X amount of time doing nothing but one project with a set deadline. Then move on to the next project/subject/skillset. Thanks for these videos.
Thank you for making this was having abit of a conflict but realising what's the rush ? I need to allow to figure it out and then do it when its the right time and that what making art is about.
Man. I love following your journey of creativity and thought. This is awesome and just what I needed, I really identify with the multidisciplinary creative. Lately I've been fascinated with that idea of a holistic, cohesive aspect to all the creatives that I respond to. Keep these coming brother❤️♾️
Great to see you in here Kakuyon - and really happy to hear this is lining up with your own projects and approach at the moment. Power to you as always.
I'm watching the rest of this vid later (bedtime) but I wanted to compliment you on the tape it ad. Best ad I've seen on youtube, ever, I think - because you mean it. Too bad I'm on android, otherwise I'd use it because my voicenotes get misnamed by android because I have to click 3 times to be able to rename them and android always fumbles up the auto naming bc I'm making notes in a different language than english.
Thanks Barrrt - I'm glad you picked up the fact I really did hope Tape It would support some of the audience here. I've spoken to enough mates who make music, and had my own long history with messy voice memos to know there's space to make the default phone apps better. Thanks for taking the time to drop into the comments and let me know I've done a good job - that's nice.
How do you find an original way to do something, but in a creative fashion? I’m creating an online school and community dedicated to self improvement, truth seeking in the universe (quantum physics, ancient history, etc) and mental health. Having a hard time getting CREATIVE with it. To where it’s ALSO an art piece, and something ageless, priceless and infinitely self generating.

I think the best advice is don’t take advice from someone who isn’t living the advice they’re giving.

I love hearing Tyler talk, he’s so articulate! I’m very excited for his new album tomorrow!! I smell another Grammy🗣️
Sorry that was me

that the longest sentence i've ever read
The timing is crazy on this one, my therapist may as well have shown me this video
good timing. thank you man
No problem, glad this one resonated for you
Can’t believe Tyler and Rocky had like no influence on the new gen rap culture. Seems like it was 100% YSL / Future influence on everything
MF Doom, the rapper’s rapper
Damn I never really thought about that.
rap is about hood that's why
@@jurassicthunder no it’s not.. rap is a way for anyone to express themselves
