Fork in the Road between starving and thriving artist

I'm at the last bit of the Golden Circle. I'm at the last section which is the ‘what’, what am I going to do? the tangible things that you can see, smell and Hold and all that, the real stuff, rather than the brain stuff, I'm not saying that the brain stuff isn’t real but the other stuff is the practical stuff, the stuff that you know, people know what they do.

Limited time, limited resources, limited technology, limited money and all these kinds of things and then I'm kinda thinking well if you want to get my creative story out to the world and I d...

I'm back in with the new vlog format and I'll be hitting a few of the subjects which I've done before because I think they need readdressing and not because the decisions I made were wrong, but just because I didn't give them enough time to see if they were actually right or not.

I think I have to refocus, rea...

Jumping back into productivity with a positive mindset. The biggest thing to start with is to know how much time you've got to work with, and from there work out what your goals are, and then try and realistically work out what you can get done in the time available. Being a stay at home dad initially feels like time is of a minimum, but when I looked at it there’s little snippets of time all over...

I have decided that my career pivot in storytelling is going to take a shot at doing a kids book. If I’m to have a decent crack at getting a kids book illustrated, written, illustrated, published, all that kind of stuff. I need to be able to make drawing as easy as possible for me and accessible for me like waiting for my drawing desk to be clean, and the climate to be perfect, and to be no distra...

So here I am at episode (Experiment) one, way out of my comfort zone, thanks to Gary Vaynerchuk. So why get out of my comfort zone in the first place? when I could be comfortable, I could be perfectly comfortable. But then three words kept rattling around in my head, ‘Document, Don't Create’ and as a filmmaker, or wannabee filmmaker and creative storyteller well I just keep hearing document, docum...
