No real Artist, either.
No entrepreneur is worried about an AI taking their job.

It was an honour to work with @londonfire on this memorial piece. Today is the 20th anniversary of the last two London firefighters to pass away in the line of duty ♥️

I’ll be painting backstage at @mtvema awards in November and this is such a dream gig for me MTV literally shaped who I am. We didn’t have Spotify so we found our music there

It’s not too late I started painting at 18 I was 37 when I finally deprogrammed my brain, got over my fears and declared I was an ‘artist’ If you’ve not taken the leap yet, but you feel that quiet nagging that won’t go away.. listen And put your work out

Internal freedom is the true journey I believe we all realise this in the end There’s only so much external results can truly satisfy you If you don’t see it now, one day you will

I’m jealous of the creatives who just wake up and its a joy to make their work and they love it so much and it’s their happy place I do love my work but it’s hard, man. it physically hurts often and I’m tired and im lazy and I’m never sure if it’s good enough 😭

Most people quit And it’s understandable Rejecting the 9-5 is hard Doing art and creativity for a job is hard But the most successful creators I know aren’t necessarily the best They’re just the ones that kept going Listen to yourself - no one else Don’t quit.

Know that when you deviate from the set paths of society, you’ll be made to feel like a weirdo But i promise you, it can be done. When you make it in the creative career they said was impossible, they’ll dramatically change their tune

But if you want to be a creative You want to write, paint, make videos, or some other alternative path You’re gonna have to fight an entire culture…

Society and culture are always waving giant red flags 🚩 They want you to quit They want you to think it’s IMPOSSIBLE to live a creative life Your parents say it’s risky Your school gradually deemphasises art subjects 👉No wonder you’re not sure if you’ll make it

In ‘the war of art’ Steven Pressfield talks about ‘the resistance’ which is all the stuff that stops you creating Confidence, imposter syndrome, procrastination etc But where does that come from??
