Dear friend,
Some practical thoughts on how to be more creative (from home):
Free inspiration on ERIC KIM NEWS > // sample email here.
- Make music: You can make music from home! Make beats with your mouth (beat-boxing), you can record yourself doing a freestyle poem (rhyming poems off the top of your head). You can use Garageband to make beats from your laptop at home, or on your iPad/iPhone. Or you can just tap on the kitchen counter-top! You can also download ‘beat maker’ apps on your Android phone, or “FL STUDIO”. Making music is one of the most fun ways to kill time at home!
- Make a slideshow: I use iMovie to make slideshows from home. It is so fun! It is a new way to “re-articulate” and re-imagine your photos. You can do a mini slideshow of your favorite photos, and just use my beats for free. Share it with your friends and family on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, or on your own personal website/blog.
- Start a blog. Signup bluehost.com and install wordpress.org. Or just use wordpress.com. A blog is a “web-log” of your online activities. Just have fun! It doesn’t gotta be “good”. Just have fun and make it genuine! My blogging philosophy >
- 3D art: Make abstract 3d art from home! You can even use Minecraft on your iPad or iPhone. Create like a child! Have fun with it. Or just use cardboard, play-dough, or tissue-paper! I remember as a child I used to make toys out of toilet paper and tape (much to the anger of my parents).
- Learn to dance! Go on YouTube and watch dance videos! To dance is on oof the best ways to kill the time and have fun! You don’t even gotta record yourself. Just do it for fun!
Have fun like a child, and play on!

My word of encouragement:
It doesn’t matter where you are, you can be home and creative every day! The secret: harness digital technologies!
What is creativity anyways?
To be “creative” literally means to create. Thus if you create a lot of stuff, you are “creative”! Creativity ain’t some sort of Demi-god status only given to a few chosen mortals. No. Every child with a crayon is an artist and creative.
If you care, share!
My simple suggestion for you:
During the time of COVID, make one art-work everyday, and share it! Share it to your website, blog, or arsbeta.com
