The artist as somebody with overabundant energy, and has the strength to put forth their vital energies through their artworks. To express their inner strength and power into visual, audio, or any other external forms.

The artist builds an external representation of their own inner reality.

Share your hyper abundance

If you’re overflowing with creative energy — share this overflowing cup with others. I believe true artwork comes from the fountain of creative abundance and exuberance— not from despair or lack. As Nietzsche judges art, he will ask:

“Has lack or abundance become creative here?”

Build abundance upon abundance.

Personally the most liberating experience and thought has been this:

Going to an excellent and affordable all you can eat Korean BBQ buffet and having the realization — “Wow, I’m never going to starve to death.”

Furthermore, knowing that all the great and epic creative tools were already at my disposal, for not much money! I’ve been able to be insanely creatively productive with an old hand-me-down iPhone 6s Plus, which you can probably buy now for $100. Huji cam, Procreate pocket, Zen brush 2, IA WRITER, has helped me create so much. What do I lack? I got everything!

Become more bold and fearless

Once you have this mentality that life is all upside and there’s no downside, it seems the best way to channel this energy is to become MORE creative daring, brave, and fearless. To continually experiment, with no concern how others may judge you.

With no self judgement either — to simply disappear into the task of creating, and to continue to stay prolific, no matter what.

As an artist, your artistic creations are you — they are your creative energy and power crystallized into visual forms and gestures.

You will die, but your artworks and off-spring will live on!

RISK ON!
