This spirited man, after years of making art, is realizing what a rookie he is. Just the breakthrough he needed to finish the thing.
christ what an insight....aint it the truth
felt
I love the hands shaking when you are showing something you have made to your hero. I know that feeling.
As a boatbuilder myself, I sympathize with Tom's breakthrough.
I love this comment haha
I always think of that breakthrough moment as 'moving sideways'
this blew my brain and made me feel very validated as an artist.
I just met Tom Sachs for the first time yesterday as he was dealing with the distraction of a book signing. Now I feel like a goof for telling him how much his work inspired me. Great video.
What was the book might I ask?
Don't feel like a goof. You'll always remember that. Tom's the best, he appreciated it.
@@dustyoldhat Thank you!
@@lgerback34 Spaceships. It's amazing!
« They resent the inspiration » one of the truest things I’ve ever heard
Commitment is in every area of life. By being non-committal you are missing out on so much gratitude. EXCELLENT teaching Van, I love it!
wow i cant imagine anyone explaining life better than van did. thats just incredible. thank you for this for real!
God knows how i have been waiting for you to post. Literally crave your work.
Me too! 😂
Let the ad play, click the things, KEEP THE CHANNEL ALIVE.
I was just thinking about how Spielberg never stops, and then I see this video! Awesome :)
Maybe...the veteran knows he can always reframe. That he or she can change course (the new idea isn't laziness. It's better-informed, or more inspired). And is grateful for the perspective. Thanks for sharing this with us. Enjoy the holiday :-)
I learned to scale down my projects because of resentment plus high failure rate. Its been months of slow growth back into projects and yes, gratitude and enjoyment of the finished pieces.
This story and the way Ban tells is legendary, Tom Sacks cameo and all. Pure Van Neistat greatest here.
my breakthrough/best moment in bangkok was when you unveiled gratitude on the drawing. very moving. this is the best bullet, finish the job. big bravo.
Van and Casey having videos out on the same day.... HEAD EXPLODING with Niestat joy! Happy Thanksgiving Van...and Tom. Hope you both have things to be thankful for.
Beautiful breakthrough. That vessel will make a great treehouse studio.
I am going through this with both work, life and projects and I thank you for putting into words my scattered brain thoughts as I have struggled to place them on a timeline as simply as you have. I have the commitment and never quit but you have given me the knowledge of knowing it’s all part of the process. Makes the resentment a little less annoying. Thank you.
This people is crazy.. I love it..
Not sure if you read the comments but first off, thank you for this video.
Second off, there's something I want to approach and the CZcams comment section is hardly the place. Something is missing from your diagram. The path to done is rarely, if ever, linear. Speaking from my own experience, quitting was the best thing I ever did and was absolutely necessary to finishing some of the best art I've ever done. Through resentment I found gratitude in completion. In a world of opportunity there is gratitude from the opportunity cost of quitting to regain focus. What got me to done wasn't inherently gratitude, it was so much more than that.
Thanks for opening the conversation
The thought of constant resentment with no gratitude makes me sick. I can therefore I will.
Needed this reminder
My wife and I always watch your videos together because we find them very inspiring (we're artists)
Been suffering from writers block this week. Video couldn’t have popped up at a better time, thank you 🙏🏽
It's amazing what happens when you aprpeciate and know 'the struggle' WILL come about, no matter what. By finding that reason why at the start, committing to that, and lying down the foundations, you have all you need to overcome; even though you have no idea what you'll need to overcome.
I saw Infinity last month! Walked around a corner here in Bangkok and it was just sitting on the lawn of the Siam Museum. An amazing moment of serendipity.
I think people often try to avoid and anticipate walls because of the resentment they've previously experienced. This anticipation prevents them from starting the work because of their sense of how hard the wall will be to overcome is already so great. "Our doubts are traitors, and make us lose the good we oft might win, by fearing to attempt." Shakespeare
100% on the money! Truth in simplicity 👊👊👊
This is EXACTLY the video I have needed, I need now, and will need in the future. Thanks Van.
I needed to buy a lamp. Instead of taking the easier and cheaper way out of this (just go buy a lamp), I'm in the process of making a destroyer lamp.
Dear Van,
There is a quote you need to hear from Conrad's novella 'Heart of Darkness'. "I don't like work, no man does--but I like what is in the work, the chance to find yourself. Your own reality--for yourself, not for others--what no other man can ever know. They can only see the mere show, and never can tell what it really means." As I read those words I imagined them written out on a Corona typewriter.
Stuck on my first YT video and coming here for inspiration. I know it won’t be perfect but at least I started.
The wisdom you share is so very valuable to me. Thank you for the gift.
I was just in Bangkok and when I popped out of the train station near the great temple palace, as one does, I turned to my left and there was “Infinity”. Really cool to see your last video and then the boat a week later. Then coming back and watching this one ties it all together. Thank you Van. Thank you Tom. Endless inspiration.
I love seeing Van interact with TS and wish there was more of it. I have followed TS for many, many years and enjoyed seeing Van make his own way, but these videos show the effect TS has had on Van but more importantly, the respect that TS has for Van. I see (have seen) a lot of hate for TS after the world of “resentful” people hammered him for a joke, but if Van approves of him then it is good enough for me.
Van, I’m a long time student, love watching the new vids as I travel by train to work in Sydney, AU. Been there from beginning when Casey plugged you. Just wanted to say I find you really inspirational and motivating. I strive to match your drive and enthusiasm in the mundane. You have a true gift!
I second this sentiment
I am no veteran but I sure am grateful for your content
I'm grateful that you exist, and your ability to storytell your story
I thought I've seen everything Van had, every single video, but somehow I missed this one. I'll draw this and put it in my wall.
I don’t live in the first world. I don’t have access to the museums or shows that could have introduced me to Tom’s work. I got glimpses throw stories on Casey’s channel or tidbit on Van’s. And I always wondered who the man this mountain of inspiration.
These last few videos have confirmed I need to learn more about his work and has definitely given me that pre-fan feeling.
Great work gentlemen. I hope to look up at the boat sailing the wind through the trees one day.
There's tons of Toms work online - watch the videos first, from a couple decades ago. Van and Casey made them.
OMG this journey is like you discovered two more seasons of Breaking Bad. Everything that Casey and Van are ....are that way because of Tom....its a great story. I live in the first world....I haven't seen his work either. Someday or just make it yourself.
@@dustyoldhat definitely going to check it out. Thanks!
My undergrad art professor in his course, Art Philosophy, guided us to define "art" as the "right making of the "thing". Earing you use it in an "art" marking context brings back those lectures from the last millennium. I have wondered from time to time whether he was able to turn it into a common course offering beyond our campus? It was a good compliment to "Art History". The two kinds of artists remind me as well of an antidote that Lawrence Block includes in one of his writing books about two of his former student authors. One is natural, and the other not so much. The natural writes a novel and sends it off only to be rejected. They tried, but apparently writing is not for them. They move on. The other wrote and submitted and received rejection after rejection until finally they did not and were published. They did their 10,000 hours as Gladstone suggested was necessary to develop the skill and added with the tenacity to endure received reward.
Love this comment. Which Block book do you recommend? Currently sitting on a handful of short stories and it's my first writing after a career in design and art.... a little afraid to send them out but I could use some advice and pep talk like that haha
I lost the count of how many times I've watched this video, as a reminder for keep the consistency.
this is very much in time, as I'm considering starting my first own business at 30 years of age. gotta be prepared for the damn wall.
Van, you never miss.
As a martial artist of 10 years, this was beautifully relatable
I needed this.
I think the ending is the most important part. Realizing it’s okay to change the destination of what you’re working towards is underrated. Going through tons of BS just to end up somewhere you don’t want to be won’t give you satisfaction
I needed this
incredible van! 👏
DUDE! What a video! Thanks, Mr. Neistat!
Amazing!
If this is an original concept, this is so profoundly insightful and now clearly evident, this process has been at play in my career.
Wow! This is so inspiring!
I JUST LOVE IT!!!
This Spirited Woman Artist gets sick of the blue chip hierarchy of what is real art. Thank you for doing the thing that needs making. Every single video you put out into this giant spinning ball IS ART! I think you will be remembered Spirited Man.
Well said❤
Absolutely, loved it.
Hey this is amazing, thanks for sharing with us.
Thank you for this. :)
Needed this reminder
This is the only CZcams channel where I feel compelled to comment after each and every video. Thanks for bringing TS into this one, great to see you two together in the frame
Fantastic explanation, so true!!
I love the simplicity of your message. Gratitude
beatiful, thank you spirited man
Beautiful perspective!!
Thank you!
Wow wow, thank you!
Thank youuuuuu!

Van, your videos just hit different, this was so inspiring 🙏
😆 LOL @ the breakthrough... beautiful film Van.
Love this. So much truth in this.
Thanks Van and thanks Tom!
I am inspired.
Thank you
thank you. your videos always make me seriously think after i watch them, more than almost anything else i see routinely on the internet, and i've come to really value what they've introduced into my brainspace. big up
its actually possible to use the internet to improve yourself....this is definitely one way
Epic. Thanks [again].
Most excellent!
This is relevant to everything in life. Thank you, Van.
Bravo! So good and spot on.
You truly inspire me with every video.
Just Beautiful.
Amazing Video
Beautiful
My life’s been upside down with personal stuff and way too many projects... I hate all of them and all the people and I feel like crap but for the life of me I can’t figure out why I just don’t quit. I’m not perfect by any stretch of the imagination but I don’t get why I just don’t quit... well. I’ll keep going. Believing that my resentment is good fuel. That the many walls I’ve faced will lead to the ultimate breakthrough. I’ll get through it. Just never thought I’d get a video explaining it so well
I’ve never felt so understood. 🙌🙌
Another great video Van, keep it up
Finally your back!!!!!!
Love the video Van. You have motivated me. Happy Thanksgiving.
This video explained it so well! ❤ I needed to hear this, thank you for making!
Just fantastic
Thanks so much for this, I admire you.
What a story teller❤️❤️
I've come back to this video multiple times since it's release and I can't thank you enough for putting this together.
I just scribbled my own version of the diagram but if you ever release a print of yours I'm there for it.
Thanks for the upload 👍
Thank you
beautiful and amazing
Well explained..
Wow this was deeply profound thank you Van!
awesome van
Thanks this was a good video to watch for the time i am in at this moment.
