"Work fast" can be very wrongly interpretated as "Quantity over Quality". But for us, the over thinkers, that's the best advice of all. It's not about going fast, it's about going faster than you usualy go. Because in that way you don't think, you just do.
Hesitation is the opposition to flow state
You get to quality though quantity....
@@michaelmazzen true

There was even a study on two groups. One asked to sculpt 2 pots, which they'd be judged on. The other 10 pots which they'd be judged on(using average quality). The latter performed better.
Can't remember the actual activity tho😅
Quantity over quality is timeless advice for beginners who want to skip the ugly works.
Terrible take termites Flow state in the physical n mind both are great n key one not more than the other smh
"I didn't snatch them... I took them"
This guy arts
good god, that guy "interviewing" him, what a dick bag
Forgot the f
@@christopherstein2024 He farts but the f is silent
Hahahahaha nice one
Arts hard
"Most of the flow that you will have while making art will come from all the things you are doing when you are not making art." That's something I always knew, but never put into words. Brilliant.
reminds me of a paraphrased quote my best feiend told me from CHarlie PArker, "Your music is your wisdom, if you dont live it, you won't play it."
@@LuisMorales-qk7tx I'd expect nothing less from Charlie.
"You should go offline and should go deep" Best advice in these time of fast consumption and superficiality.
I knew Basquiat. He was a friend of my uncle who was also an artist. I only watched him work a few times. Otherwise we just kind of hung out. He had no idea that his art would become so collectable; this was a guy who knew what it was like to struggle. He wasn't much of a talker, except when he was high. But he was very smart, you could see that. The drugs got him. He could still be painting today.
Suuurrreee

@@tegathemenaceescape from the mind
You a junkie too?
1. source material
2. steal like an artist
3. have a message
4. speed
5. study memorize internalize
Make a collage of random things you find in the real world, like roman belt buckets or Ellen DeGeneres demon-ass looking stare, paint it on a wall or canvas with other symbology and weird finds. Become prolific.
@@k_afkaModern "Art" = Some slob that hasn't been seen before
@@christopherstein2024 I am art?
I see you took speed close to heart
You forgot snorting heroin.
Gotta feed your minds during your down time- thank you
Its actually better to let your mind rest during downtime, by doing nothing.
@@everlasting_me facts over stimulation is awful in any form
7:05"Well, that's kind of a slow process."
"Well, I'm a slow person."
This reminds me so much of something Tyson would say during interviews where people have no clue what they are truly looking at so it's best to let them live in their perception and be who they think they are. I'm a slow person was him saying the man can't comprehend him but he's whatever they perceive as long as he knows his truth. And obviously he is correct since he's the attraction and they are the ones looking in.
You have to know the interviewer asking Basquiat about his anger was intentionally framing Basquiat as a "angry young black man", a racist stereotype of the 80s and before. This interview makes my blood boil. Its a miracle he kept his cool and stayed calm and didnt play much into the framing.
GOD, you see the second he realizes it too. The considerable pause after such an open question, then he gives a little laugh leading to "I don't know". Happy someone else noticed that part and went out of their way to mention in a comment.
thats an assumption
@@titoadesanya9369 it is not. its well known. i have seen this infamous interview in whole many times. Basquiat mentioned several times throughout his short life time the racism he faced as a black artist among high class society. Dont make stpid comments because you "feel" like it.
agreed. Must have been tough in the 80s. Ppl had that mentality in the 90s too
@@TestTest-hu1gj amazing so many black ppl seem to point at the white man for their misfortunes. even today. even after having a black president. anyway he milked that message pretty good.
"As an artist, I have witnessed in others and in myself the commitment, genius, and sacrifices that come with the creative process. Each artist has a unique approach to creating, and it always surprises me how easy it is for people, who usually don't make art, to make assumptions about artists who aren't famous. Commercial success does not necessarily result from the quality of the artwork itself, but rather from effective marketing and the financial resources available to promote it."
💯
Yes your right I honestly don’t like his art, it is very demonic to me but I am here to learn from his creative process similar but I never put as much time into it as he did into it every single piece of creative artwork is a piece of genius some just have more than others
@@JumpWatson45 What about his work strikes you as demonic? The word stuck out to me, and I got curious!
@@JumpWatson45your judgement is demonic
You presume to be a genius but misunderstand what quality is.
his last painting "riding with death" although simplistic by Basquait standards is a mastrpiece, probably my favorite pantings. the way he prophisized his own passing with the paintings subject matter gives it so much prominance
It wasn't his last, but that's romantic
That’s unconscious as per jung probably telling him things
I DISCOVERED HIM IN JANUARY, I AM VERY LATE TO HIS GENIUS, BUT I SWEAR, YOU CAN APPLY THIS TO LITERALLY EVERY FACET OF LIFE. SPORTS, MUSIC, FASHION, WORKING OUT. YOU DO YOU AND YOU WILL FLOW. REST IN PEACE, BASQUIAT. YOU'VE HELPED ME GREATLY WITHIN THESE PAST 4 MONTHS.

Man I wish Kid Cudi had portrayed him in a biopic, bro looks just like him
bro yes! Cudi would kill that role.
Touche
That’s a great idea 😮
You gotta start a petition
Hell naw
Wow. This was the best YT video I’ve seen in a long time. The production and vocals felt so fresh. Very impressed and inspired by you 👏
WTF is this? Im motivated like never before and I don’t even know what I’m motivated about. Lol
😂😂😂😂😂😂mannnnn me too idk wtf is this either i’m trippy like i’m sooooo intrigued by this guy
same
Feels like a fever dream
also, smoke a joint
That's inspirational deep diving
You mean heroin?
Not sure about that one - it was drugs that did him in.
@@robertarisz8464 but not the pot, and the drugs he used that killed him are more to do with his personality type.
I hadnt heard of Basquiat until this video. I think it popped up in my reccomended because i had been researching a jacket my friend wanted me to sell for him. The jacket is a Members only x Basquiat collab. I took the listing off ebay and I bought the jacket myself. Thank you for making art not content.
Follow the muse when it guides you... ❤️
Your handle is really lame tbh. Sounds like someone with a superiority complex
@@KindWanderer94 nah “makeartnotcontent”
@@JJ-xt2dqIf you think it is indicative of a “superiority complex” well then that says more about you than the channel owner. People should make art and not content.
@@rinkohorowitz art is just a meaningless word
I love the work ethic videos, its super helpful
I don't think people who aren't naturally this kind of personality type realise this, but being like this, living like this, is super painful.
please explain, why would it be painful?
Correction. It is painful if you have been living amongst people who told you it's wrong. And the one person who was meant to be on your side(you) also bought it.
Recently, people meet me with intrigue rather than cringe, because I now like my own skin.
Until you make peace with your nature. You would remain miserable.
@@shericeknight659 It is painful because being an artist requires hypersensitivity. Artists (I mean true artists like Basquiat) are born hypersensitive. So that’s already a painful way of being. Of course, you can learn to deal with it. But creative people who choose to go a little against society (and who usually are already against society somewhat - being artists) alienate themselves even further. They must do so, in order to fully embody their artistic message. It’s a personality type, but it’s also a choice. Artistic genius or creative talent often is accompanied by pain, due to hypersensitivity. These days anyone and everyone thinks they can be creative, which means that personality types with little sensitivity are trying to be artists or even calling themselves artists when in fact they have no understanding of the real cost of being one, certainly not to the level that Basquiat was.
@@shericeknight659it is painful because you always feel an urgency and emergency. You see the horror in the world and MUST interact with it. Sensitivity. You feel a duty to the MESSAGE that is bigger than your life. This means your road can end in torture and death. You struggle with the certain knowledge that your life and comfort are subordinate to greater, inhuman things, and anytime you lie to yourself about this, to turn away from this duty, the dishonesty permeates and throws other aspects of your life off the rails. People who are not artists ponder: “oh, I’m small and insignificant in the grand scheme of things.” But artists *know* : “I’m small yet *extremely significant* and if I don’t bring this spark into creation, truth and justice could die and evil could win.” Shit like that.
@@flobelacqua8460very very very well said
Another classic. I usually don’t look at comments but it was interesting seeing how divisive they are. Thats when you know you’re seeing real art (not just making something perfect for the masses but something that elicits an emotion).
Loved this one bro!!
Thanks Mel... You know the truth 🙌🏾
Thanks for putting pictures to the podcast!
It had to be done!
Thank you thank you thank you! This video is an awakening for me… more work ethic videos please !
This is so wonderful, to see his actual process in such an intimate way. Beautifully done. Thank you so much. 💙💙💙
i love this collection of videos. amazing. thank you.
this was really eye-opening, thanks for making this
Love that essay, the clips, the quotes, the info - only offturn is the downpitched voice, but that’s maybe an individual thing. Thanks for the basquiat love, he is my fav artist and a huge inspiration to me (I’m a musician and video guy)
This is one of the best videos of Basquiat I have watched. I was wowed when you showed the reference material. Really learned a lot from this video. Thank you for making and sharing this 🙏🏽✨✨
Thank you! I needed this.
probably the most inspiring, informative and captivating piece of video I saw on YT in a long time
This is amazing. Thank You so much for creating this.
My favorite youtube channel rn
I'm an artist and this just give me more than I thought I needed.
Wow. This was the best YT video I’ve seen in a long time. The production and vocals felt so fresh. Very impressed and inspired by you
This is fantastic especially w/ keeping in mind context as mentioned in previous comments. The message is clear and artful to the core of the soul.
this podcast has changed my life and continues to give me that harsh pep talk i need every time i fall away from my intuition. thank u so much
You're welcome. Glad you found me on CZcams also... 🙌🏾
Your work is very inspiring!
Thank you.
Just found your channel. Subscribed from the title alone but your videos are fiiirrreeee. Shout out to all the artists navigating this content world today
This is one of the best videos I’ve watched in a while. I didn’t plan on watching the whole thing, but these 8 minutes felt like 30 seconds. Fantastic work!
I can’t believe you have a CZcams and a Spotify podcast! I love your work - f’ing brilliant!
Loved this video. Great storytelling, editing and tips!
I can't believe this video came out two weeks ago. I've returned to it three times a day since it came out. Something about this message is assisting me massively in unlocking my potential, writing all night, determinedly practicing my crafts. I really appreciate the work that went into this video.
oh my god... this is the video my creativity has been craving
the way this video is edited is art itself. beautiful. i felt like i just watched a music video instead of an informative one.
This is one of the best videos I've watched in my life. Fr. Very inspirational.
Thanks for getting this on line 🎉
Wow beautiful.. too sad he died at 27 ..but glad he was alive ,even though it was for a short time.. Thank you friend where ever you are❤🙌🙏🏼🔥

@@gsogso3444 27 is so young. He accomplished so much in a such a short amount of time
The 27 club is packed
Ive watched this a few times already. Great work
First video I've ever seen from this channel...subscribed immediately...
Great video. I've studied Basquiat for a while and I always end up very sad that he had to deal with so many stupid people doing interviews. I haven't heard a good interview yet.
Painful. I agree.
Im obsessed with your voice and your channel!! Keep making stuff 💖
This was so helpful, I wasn't even expecting it.
Great video - thank you 🙌🏽

This video is truly eye opening
Great Job. This was very inspiring and well put together. Made me want to get back to work immediately.
Ah, that's great to hear. Go!
on 2022, I went to The Broad in LA and see for the first time a basquiat collection, super inspired by that I beginned to work with canvas. Love basquiat.

This video is so unassuming and unmasked it’s great.
The way it shines a light on genius and process ❤

This is evoking a lot of emotions in me right now.. I used to want to be an artist of some kind, but my head kept getting in my way, days of creative block, imposter syndrome of how fast I got work done, so much upto the point I figured I was better off doing monotonous jobs, that I switched to being a Software Engineer. I've been dreading doing creative things again, but this video re-instills some faith in me. Keep at it everyone!
I feel like I'm sneaking to watch this😮👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
This is such a great video. Subbed
Really love this video and your video on Prince. Here for more of it!

This was so inspirational. I already recently got the habit of one drawing a day. This gave me new approaches to work with
*Wow, what an enlightening and motivating video! Basquiat's work ethic was truly one of a kind, and this video captures that spirit perfectly. Learning about his unique approach to art is not just inspiring, but it's also a reminder that dedication and passion can truly elevate one's craft. Thanks for sharing this insightful content!*

Great content and the editing is soo good! I'm in a loop of art block atm and this helps me ease a bit so thank you🤝
Do two pieces of art that are purposefully shit and derivative and see if that doesn't help clear the blockage. Good luck
@@plebjames will try that out hahahaha Thanks!!
Speed! Speed! Speeeeeed!😢 I need some of that.
Excellent, thank you.
