Going off the thumbnail alone - I remember when we used to find a cool item, run home, and would make a video on it. Those were the days. I'm slowly but surely moving on, I cant keep up with it all. :'( I've officially fallen out of love with the "creative" process. We were SO lucky to have a Hobby as a job, but now the hobby is almost lost. Drawing was always my escape, No i do anything to escape drawing. I definitely KNOW at this point, which videos you make are videos YOU want to make. Its hard to be here now, passion vs priority
It's not easy, but you inspire a lot of people! Find ways to keep the passion alive my friends, I try and allow myself 10% passion driven projects to fill me up, where I don't worry about performance
@Jazza's Vlog 100% bro. I've decided that my own channel will solely focus on Business (clicks) and the passion will now move to Livestreaming and An education channel.... as thats why I started, to help others in art :). I'm always happy to see you produce though, I gotta be ya biggest fan!
It's a little sad to hear how TTTRP works out in the grand scheme of things because it means so much to my friends and I, but of course it makes absolute sense, and is good to see laid out to give us some perspective. It means a lot that it still continues in the way that it can. : )
Like I said - lives and dies by our Patreon, and we're alive, thanks to the support of the community! Even though it's the smallest part of what we make, it's one of my biggest passions and I'm SO grateful for supportive people like you making it possible!!!
I smashed the like button, don’t hate me Jazza! I get it. You do what the algorithm wants so you can support what you like at TTT. You have at least three people working full-time on a channel with little to no ad revenue coming in. It’s a burden to make sure that your main channel video always does well enough to support everything else you do. And you balance it well. Give yourself, and your team, a big pat on the back.
This is most likely going to be missed and I'm not trying to be rude but I really miss the community aspect of the Draw with Jazza channel. BAFA, Twitch Streams, the old shed studio---those for me were memories that I don't think I'll ever forget and when I was happiest to support the channel.
I have to be honest, I loved doing wood turning on the wood laithe. making ornaments to get on the tree. but the moment money came into the mix, I got so stressed and sad I stopped wanting to do it. which is why i have so much respect for you Jazza, for doing something you love and still doing it. Because ive found I honestly cant because it hurts my mental health so badly. I honestly prefer the videos where your selfish and niche because I can feel how much you love it. I hope your able to continue to be able to do what you love, and live the dream
I describe myself as a "serial hobbyist." I basically cycle through hobbies as they interest me. I want to do them all, all the time, but outside of my job (which was formerly a hobby) I can only do so much. So I'll pick the hobby that pulls me in the most at the moment and just do that for a while. I used to feel guilty about abandoning half-finished projects when something else captures my attention, but I figure if I had fun doing that much of it, then it was worth it, and I can always come back to it later. I also realized that all of my hobbies other than reading are creative, whether it's a painting, some woodworking, coding an app, or planting/maintaining a garden, it's almost always creative in some capacity, so I've sort of changed my perspective and decided that "being creative" is my hobby, and that feels good - it gives me the freedom to be creative in whatever way speaks to me the most in the current moment. Now I just need to figure out how to build a business from them and I"ll be a regular Jazza!
'i like too many things', 'as soon as i've completed something i'm passionate about, i'm alreadt passionate about the next thing', 'there's the things i can't get to that i feel most compelled to spend time on' i've never related to something more, and it's so incredibly difficult to fit it next to getting a degree (which, surprise, i have difficulty choosing a path in and am passionate about a lot of paths), but seeing you juggle this so well and do what you love... It really motivates me and makes me feel like i'll work things out. I'm on the cusp of a large change, working on my bachelor thesis, while deciding whether or not i want to go do a masters degree, not knowing what kind of work i exactly want to do, probably taking a break year to figure some stuff out (stem based degree btw, i know, i really can't choose) All while having a deep passion for lots of art forms, for writing, literature, computer games, (video) content production (sharing passion/information etc. with others is mainly what roots this), as well as desperately wanting to travel but being broke and not having a drivers license, to name some large impactful ones long story short, thank you, you make me feel like i can get where i want to be and that i will figure it out (idk if this 0:30am comment made sense but thank you)
This makes a ton of sense. I think the hardest part is that people who don't create content (part or full time) haven't had experience with the YT algorithms, ad revenue, and all of the business deals that go on behind the scenes. Don't feel like you need to constantly explain why you are or are not creating certain types of content. Please do what's best for you and your team - the passion you all exude will make it fantastic.
Yep. Makes sense. In short, the audience/customers who're familiar with you have certain expectations. And that audience-expectation has a certain momentum. The bigger the audience and the bigger their expectations, the longer it will take to pivot or incorporate additional themes without disappointing the audience's expectations. On the other side of the equation is family and employees who don't want to depend on a fickle crack-head who can't be relied on because they get distracted by every whim that catches their notice. Living up to responsibilities may seem stifling but it actually creates a foundation for being trusted with bigger opportunities.
I never hear people talk about "liking too many things" and it has made me feel like I'm the only one who can't stand not doing something entirely different all the time. I love to learn new skills and practice them and then I lose interest when I get too good at them and the cycle starts over. It's probably part of my ADHD but it's always been a wild ride of motivation. You inspire me because you seem to be so similar to me but you actually did something with all those skills and ideas and didn't shy away from the challenge. Words do not describe how much I hope I can work on my drive and passion and get past my failures and fears to live up to my potential. One of my dreams is actually to one day work for one of your companies! Here's hoping I'll achieve it one day! :)
Insert Art / Jazza / Tabletop Time and the new game dev work? All interlock and mesh into each other. Its one way to get the "creative insanity" out. We've all had that one project that we have " just had to get done" that's one challenge, the other main challenge is a simple one but very hard at the same time. Its curbing enthusiasm. I'd no more, using myself as an example, be able to contain my enthusiasm about a new yarndoodling project , than I would be able stop a 40ft articulated wagon by holding my hand out and willing the thing to stop. See - The wonderful thing about Jazza, Is Jazza does wonderful things, His top is made out of rubber, His bottom is made out of springs, He's bouncy, trounce, bouncy fun, fun fun, Be the wonderful, wonderful thing about Jazza? Is he's the only one! (My apologies for plagiarising tiggers song) Keep being awesome. 🎉
Jazza "I love to many things" I can relate with this topic 😅 I have so many creative things I want to try but for RUclips you really need to keep to mostly one thing... And I get bored so I'm glad it's a hobby and doesn't need to pay bills
I'm so glad you started insert art. I started watching you when you were still "draw with Jazza" and my favourite content of yours will always be the character design challenges. Though I enjoy all of your whacky experiments that have made the channel more popular I did miss those old-school Jazza videos where you were just passionately designing cool characters based on weird prompts with nothing more than photoshop or markers, but I understand that they don't do as well nowadays with the algorithm and you need to make content that can gain enough revenue to keep your business going. Always appreciate that you've tried time and again to come up with ways to make that kind of content work or just occasionally said "screw it, I'm doing one of those videos" - like the ultimate character design challenge, that was great, but now insert art is there I'm not feeling as much like I'm missing that kind of content and like you say when you do make that kind of video on the main channel now it helps insert art grow so it's not "damaging" (if that's the right word). Really interesting to learn more about how you have to balance things and make careful decisions on content!
Sometimes the best videos are these videos. Unedited and just talking to us - little bit of nostalgia but all in all I’ve been watching jazza from the very beginning and he is one of the only you tubers i can think of who never disappoints. All channels in collaboration with him or associated it’s always a good show. ❤ just keep being true to you Jazza and we will always be behind supporting you. Thank you.
It’s quickly become one of my favorite channels! Just a fun throwback to old-school Jazza days! (Love new school too, but just watching people draw and create for the fun of it is what made me sub and start learning to draw in the first place). 😊
I’ve also got so many different things that I want to try and explore and just not enough time to explore them. My full time job is Architecture, I enjoy web development which I do on the side which makes money so I can justify it, but the list of things that I still want to explore and practice is long: woodworking, drawing, painting, pottery, photography, videography and film making, brewing (beer and other drinks), cooking, gardening (particularly edible gardening), 3D modelling/printing. There’s almost certainly more that I’ve forgotten 😅 I’ve even considered RUclips, exploring the different passions, as that would be able to scratch a few of the itches, but TIME! Also I don’t think I could handle RUclips as a source of income, too much pressure. I’ve seen so many creators burn out 😔
I am right with you, I like too many things. I've found it difficult to narrow my focus, and RUclips is a fun way to try to bring them all together. You've found a great way to navigate the challenge with multiple channels that can each stand alone.
Keep doing what you're doing. As long as you enjoy it, that's what really matters, even if you can't do EVERYTHING you want. Just be careful you don't burn yourself out doing it. I always think of an episode of "Dirty Jobs" where a guy who started making fireworks as a hobby and then turned it into a business. He seemed to still enjoy it to some small degree but, he also seemed pretty miserable as well.
I might not have found TTT without your main channel being so visible and without the cross overs and now I'm a mini, diaroma, terrain mad Patron (I'm not mini, obviously, although I am quite short). You're last few vlogs and videos have really resonated, as someone with a million hobbies and interests, who bounces from project to project with both joyful abandon and a deep fear that I'm wasting my energy and time, it's incredibly reassuring to see someone not just owning that but relishing it as a part of themselves. You're a joy to watch and a good egg, keep scratching those itches any way you can 😊
Jazza you are a big inspiration to me and my artistic journey. I still check out your tutorials and look forward to what you do next. You are a true definition of a creative.
I love you for loving everything. Watching you is like if you gave Bob Ross 20 cups of coffee and he was now super excited about everything everywhere as well as occasionally almost comically shocked when the stuff he did actually looked cool. You are so much fun to watch. As someone who has ADHD and loves other people in my life with it I also love seeing the quirks I recognize and can especially love easier in others. I also struggle with depression and you always brighten my day, so thanks for that! 💖
I appreciate keeping the art styles separate too. Since I'd be seeing you as a goofy teacher/mate on Draw With Jazza for so many years it's hard to get behind the make believe stuff beyond, aww he's having a good time. Since I can't see a valiant 20 year old warrior/king but the 30(cough)ish(cough) teacher wearing curtains and cardboard
I think something a lot of people may not understand is that sometimes hobbies reach a point, for those of us who are scatter brained, where they fulfill that itch. The nice part is that you have that infrastructure built in order to pop in a video from time to time when that itch comes back. Love that you are passionate about keeping the momentum going and creating a space for creative people to thrive.
Bro, I can totally relate to having too many passions! Having so many hobbies is indeed a curse because we aren't satisfied with just one thing. Same as learning to play several musical instruments and having your band mates tease you for it... but whatever. And writing stories, and then because you can draw, you illustrate your own works... and don't get me started on card making or any of the other dozen things I do when I'm not at my 9to5. I have so much respect for you Jazza, that you've found a way to do what you love and make a living at it as well as making it possible for others to gain from the successes too. I've only been watching your videos for like 5 years, but I've always enjoyed the content. ❤️
One thing I’m wondering is if you are still working on product development (specifically the hobby box or bag) as it is both interesting content and something I’d be interested in purchasing myself.
Thanks so much for answering my question! Your answer makes a lot of sense, and I think the real solution is... to hire even more people so you can delegate more tasks! 😅 Obviously being passionate about entrepreneurship is motivating you and keeping you going. All that stuff sucks the life out of me. It's great that your passions combine into such a successful job for you and many others 🎉
I'm seriously loving the vlogs!! I'm starting my career as a freelance artist and I have a very .... Tactical approach for things. Which my peers seem to disapprove of. (I'm in my final stretch of design school). A lot of them are much better artists than me, no question. Still they are all like "oh~ but I'm just gonna print this thing for some family and friends", "aw, I don't do this for the money". Honourable? I guess?? But I know that I want to be able to support myself. I know that I want to use my skills as a tool to creat things that will appeal to the people I target. I don't think there's anything wrong with using your skills to build yourself a living. And that it comes with the job that, while it is a giant sandbox, you still need to make decisions on which projects to pursue in which way to not hurt yourself. So I always feel really encouraged by this type of insight into a pro's workings and decision makings.
Do a huge epic project on the jazz’s channel. You don’t have to do it all in one video. Branch it out. I see a lot of other channels do this with success. I always see more people sub and come back to watch. You may be able to bring people from your other channels to help every so often to promote those channels. Just an idea.
I love insert art,don't get me wrong you are wonderful artist,but the abbilities(don't know how to put my thoughts in words on english,sorry) of Alesha and Ariel are so so gorgeous too,that since I saw their works I felt I want more of theirs .Sorry.
This is such a sweet comment, but (I’m trying to put this as nicely and non-condescendingly as possible) it shows that maybe the commenter is younger or less experienced (?). Unfortunately not being able to do everything you love because you have to be financially viable is a fact of life. Great job of explaining everything so kindly and throughly Jazza 👏
I think if you ask most people who gets to work with what they love, be it in the creative field, researcher field, social field or any kind of craftsman, you will see a lot of them working extremely hard and being very passionate about their work. Passion for your job comes with pro's and con's, one con i would think is that you dump a lot of passion into the work and that often leaves you with very little time to do hobbies on the side. In Jazza's case he is working with his hobbies and he has to satisfy an algorithm that is not easily satisfied + he has a ton of passion that he pours into many projects and that just cost time. I don't think i have seen a singe RUclips'er that dosen't have great passion for what they do, but also have burned out because of the demands the algorithm puts on them, they want to make a video on a special topic, bad luck that won't fair well this year.. Unfortunately i think there is many people who loves their work and don't have or take time to do hobbies on the side, we live in a society where we work so much more, and have less time for family, exercise and hobbies sadly.
I wish I could turn my hobbies into my job, but it is too hard, too risky, too expensive, and takes a good chunk of good luck to make it happen. My attempts have so far failed, sadly. Oh well, that just means I can keep my hobbies as hobbies.
RUclips kills creative freedom just so you need to comply to the ads and algorithm if you want to make a living. Kinda sad honestly, if they let people do whatever they loved and they have good views/subs it should be enough...
Not really. First off, it is an amazingly positively focused answer to the question-so not a downer video to watch. I mean he does talk about needing to make videos that RUclips likes, but more of the video is focused on how it's more than him he's supporting and that he loves a lot of (maybe too many) things and has made a career out of them.
Confession, I don't watch role playing. BUT I love the animated series VOX MACHINA based upon role playing. The first time my brother and I had our artwork published was in a local comic store mag, the story was an excerpt of a live role playing game. Is there time/staff to start producing content that might expand/broadcast beyond the channels?
Going off the thumbnail alone -
I remember when we used to find a cool item, run home, and would make a video on it. Those were the days.
I'm slowly but surely moving on, I cant keep up with it all. :'( I've officially fallen out of love with the "creative" process.

The algorithm smashes creativity to bits, some people never even manage to get started on it.
That was super interesting. Thanks for priding so much insight!
“Whatever you do, don’t do it.” Made me laugh way harder than I was expecting to. Love the progression, keep it up.
I smashed the like button, don’t hate me Jazza!

Not the Nose transition!!! 😂😂😂😂❤❤
That's how you open vlogs. I open them by clicking the thumbnail.
Liking lots of things, so relatable. Also the meandering storytime. :)
Jazza "I love to many things"

Lets hope we can get more Patrons for the TTTRP channel to make it more successful and sustainable, cause it's criminal how little views it gets.
Felt I hadn't seen Jazza enough in my feed, so searched in case I had missed a video. "Uploaded 6 minutes ago" Wow, just added! =D
Keep doing what you're doing. As long as you enjoy it, that's what really matters, even if you can't do EVERYTHING you want. Just be careful you don't burn yourself out doing it. I always think of an episode of "Dirty Jobs" where a guy who started making fireworks as a hobby and then turned it into a business. He seemed to still enjoy it to some small degree but, he also seemed pretty miserable as well.
maaaan, im a newish fan of your video's and been going back to watch your old videos. I just have to say I love them all and I see myself in you
Always love hearing your thought process. But I was NOT prepared for that nose transition.
Relate so hard.
I might not have found TTT without your main channel being so visible and without the cross overs and now I'm a mini, diaroma, terrain mad Patron (I'm not mini, obviously, although I am quite short).
You're last few vlogs and videos have really resonated, as someone with a million hobbies and interests, who bounces from project to project with both joyful abandon and a deep fear that I'm wasting my energy and time, it's incredibly reassuring to see someone not just owning that but relishing it as a part of themselves.
You're a joy to watch and a good egg, keep scratching those itches any way you can 😊
I want a wisdom with jazza channel
I love all you do Jazza, especially videos you’ve done with Shad, Dad, and the bairns 😀👍
Jazza you are a big inspiration to me and my artistic journey. I still check out your tutorials and look forward to what you do next. You are a true definition of a creative.
Hope to hear more about gatecrash soon!!
Hi Jazza! Love the channel
I love you for loving everything. Watching you is like if you gave Bob Ross 20 cups of coffee and he was now super excited about everything everywhere as well as occasionally almost comically shocked when the stuff he did actually looked cool. You are so much fun to watch.
As someone who has ADHD and loves other people in my life with it I also love seeing the quirks I recognize and can especially love easier in others.
I also struggle with depression and you always brighten my day, so thanks for that! 💖
I appreciate keeping the art styles separate too. Since I'd be seeing you as a goofy teacher/mate on Draw With Jazza for so many years it's hard to get behind the make believe stuff beyond, aww he's having a good time. Since I can't see a valiant 20 year old warrior/king but the 30(cough)ish(cough) teacher wearing curtains and cardboard
It has been so long since I watched your videos
What a transition 😎😂😂
I enjoyed your explanation of how your hobby is your job. I hope to do that in the next few years.
I think something a lot of people may not understand is that sometimes hobbies reach a point, for those of us who are scatter brained, where they fulfill that itch. The nice part is that you have that infrastructure built in order to pop in a video from time to time when that itch comes back. Love that you are passionate about keeping the momentum going and creating a space for creative people to thrive.
Damn, I hit the like button before you said not to!
Stay strong Jazza, TTT, and Insert Art, we're there for you!
Bro, I can totally relate to having too many passions! Having so many hobbies is indeed a curse because we aren't satisfied with just one thing. Same as learning to play several musical instruments and having your band mates tease you for it... but whatever. And writing stories, and then because you can draw, you illustrate your own works... and don't get me started on card making or any of the other dozen things I do when I'm not at my 9to5. I have so much respect for you Jazza, that you've found a way to do what you love and make a living at it as well as making it possible for others to gain from the successes too. I've only been watching your videos for like 5 years, but I've always enjoyed the content. ❤️
One thing I’m wondering is if you are still working on product development (specifically the hobby box or bag) as it is both interesting content and something I’d be interested in purchasing myself.
You can't tell me what to do! I'm gonna smash the like button and subscribe!
This is helpful for me since I have a huge amount of interests and I'm still trying to figure out how to tie them together into something coherent.
Thanks so much for answering my question! Your answer makes a lot of sense, and I think the real solution is... to hire even more people so you can delegate more tasks! 😅 Obviously being passionate about entrepreneurship is motivating you and keeping you going. All that stuff sucks the life out of me. It's great that your passions combine into such a successful job for you and many others 🎉
I'm seriously loving the vlogs!!
I'm starting my career as a freelance artist and I have a very .... Tactical approach for things.
Which my peers seem to disapprove of. (I'm in my final stretch of design school). A lot of them are much better artists than me, no question.
Still they are all like "oh~ but I'm just gonna print this thing for some family and friends", "aw, I don't do this for the money".
Honourable? I guess?? But I know that I want to be able to support myself. I know that I want to use my skills as a tool to creat things that will appeal to the people I target.
I don't think there's anything wrong with using your skills to build yourself a living.
And that it comes with the job that, while it is a giant sandbox, you still need to make decisions on which projects to pursue in which way to not hurt yourself.
So I always feel really encouraged by this type of insight into a pro's workings and decision makings.
Do a huge epic project on the jazz’s channel. You don’t have to do it all in one video. Branch it out. I see a lot of other channels do this with success. I always see more people sub and come back to watch. You may be able to bring people from your other channels to help every so often to promote those channels. Just an idea.
I love insert art,don't get me wrong you are wonderful artist,but the abbilities(don't know how to put my thoughts in words on english,sorry) of Alesha and Ariel are so so gorgeous too,that since I saw their works I felt I want more of theirs .Sorry.
This is such a sweet comment, but (I’m trying to put this as nicely and non-condescendingly as possible) it shows that maybe the commenter is younger or less experienced (?). Unfortunately not being able to do everything you love because you have to be financially viable is a fact of life. Great job of explaining everything so kindly and throughly Jazza 👏
I think if you ask most people who gets to work with what they love, be it in the creative field, researcher field, social field or any kind of craftsman, you will see a lot of them working extremely hard and being very passionate about their work. Passion for your job comes with pro's and con's, one con i would think is that you dump a lot of passion into the work and that often leaves you with very little time to do hobbies on the side.
In Jazza's case he is working with his hobbies and he has to satisfy an algorithm that is not easily satisfied + he has a ton of passion that he pours into many projects and that just cost time.
I don't think i have seen a singe RUclips'er that dosen't have great passion for what they do, but also have burned out because of the demands the algorithm puts on them, they want to make a video on a special topic, bad luck that won't fair well this year.. Unfortunately i think there is many people who loves their work and don't have or take time to do hobbies on the side, we live in a society where we work so much more, and have less time for family, exercise and hobbies sadly.
The «I like too many things»-problem is real, not enough days in the week :/
I wish I could turn my hobbies into my job, but it is too hard, too risky, too expensive, and takes a good chunk of good luck to make it happen. My attempts have so far failed, sadly. Oh well, that just means I can keep my hobbies as hobbies.
You love everything and I love you for that=) I am also like that but to a lesser degree=) Have a wonderful day!
😂 nose transition 😊
Make your passions your life's work, don't work to enable your passions
How is the keychain on a leash working for you so far?
Q: are you still working on the bag design or is it placed into the stage where you figuring out the logistics of it
Oh yes! Great question, where are the bags?
But can't it become too tiredsome and so can it become something you hate instead of love after a while 🤔
What if I hadn't tuned out... but had done it? should I undo it? or should I just leave it done? TELL ME JAZZA!
Hi jazza!
RUclips kills creative freedom just so you need to comply to the ads and algorithm if you want to make a living.
Kinda sad honestly, if they let people do whatever they loved and they have good views/subs it should be enough...
Bro your dimples
You have to have ADHD……I do and I can see it 😂😂😂
TLDR as a man with a buissness he has responsibilities
That nose transition was offensive and I WILL sue.
Jk love ya ❤ fewer nostrils images in my future I hope
Nice nostril shot.
Jazza... DON'T SHOW YOUR KEYS ON CAMERA!
I've copied his key - now to try every door in australia
Is this another video of someone complaining about the algorithm?
Not really. First off, it is an amazingly positively focused answer to the question-so not a downer video to watch.
I mean he does talk about needing to make videos that RUclips likes, but more of the video is focused on how it's more than him he's supporting and that he loves a lot of (maybe too many) things and has made a career out of them.
Confession, I don't watch role playing. BUT I love the animated series VOX MACHINA based upon role playing. The first time my brother and I had our artwork published was in a local comic store mag, the story was an excerpt of a live role playing game. Is there time/staff to start producing content that might expand/broadcast beyond the channels?
