Struggling to make art? Here’s what I do.
Ever feel like your creativity has hit a brick wall? You're not alone. As an artist and writer with over 25 years of experience, I've faced my fair share of creative blocks. But over the years, I've developed a rather... unconventional approach to getting my creative juices flowing again.
In this video, I'm pulling back the curtain on my personal creative process. Fair warning: it's not always pretty, and it's definitely not comfortable. But it works.
I'll take you on a journey from my early days of boundless creativity as a child through the stifling years of adulthood to my rediscovery of creative freedom - all thanks to an unexpected source of inspiration.
You'll learn:
Why comfort can be the enemy of creativity
The surprising parallels between toddlerhood and artistic growth
How parenthood reignited my creative spark
The structure behind my "creative experiments"
Real examples of how I've applied this method (including some pretty awkward moments)
Whether you're an artist, writer, musician, or any kind of creative soul feeling stuck, this advice might just give you the nudge you need to break through your own creative barriers.
Remember, great art often comes from uncomfortable places. Are you ready to get uncomfortable with me?
