Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t forget friend, art is a beautiful struggle.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Be Creative Every Day, Any Where<\/a><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

No more excuses. Unleash your inner-artist with CREATIVE EVERY DAY: Mobile Edition<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Art is hard. Making pictures is hard.<\/p>\n

Realize as a visual artist, your goal is long-term endurance. You don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t want to get easily disappointed on the day-to-day level. You must consider and think to yourself:<\/p>\n

\n How can I stay creative and productive for decades?\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Why make art?<\/h2>\n

\"PHOTOGRAPHY<\/p>\n

Creative willpower: I feel ultimately this comes from a larger sense of purpose and meaning in your life.<\/p>\n

As an artist, you have a very important role in society. Your job and duty is to make art and images which inspire, uplift, and motivate others. Your job is to uncover beauty, truth, and love. Your job as a photographer is to find the beauty in the ordinary and the mundane<\/a> \u00e2\u20ac\u201d to show your viewer, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The world is a great and beautiful place, even in the small details\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.<\/p>\n

For myself, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve been having a HUGE spurt of creative inspiration and purpose. Why? Because ever since staring our HAPTICLABS Berlin internship with my sister Annette Kim<\/a> and with Cindy, I have a larger purpose. My purpose is to help empower and employ them, to use their skills, to make artistic products to empower other creatives. And we have been doing that with building up our new visual supply company: HAPTIC INDUSTRIES<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"CREATIVE
CREATIVE EVERY DAY: Mobile Edition<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

CREATIVE EVERY DAY<\/a> has been our baby, a creative tool that has been a distillation of all our creative wisdom. But it has also been a tool to stimulate ourselves. For example, I personally do a lot of exercises in the book. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve been teaching myself how to draw and write poetry, inspired by Annette Kim (my sister, the illustrator) and also from Cindy (the poet<\/a>, and visual storyteller).<\/p>\n
