I need to be real with everyone, continuing to make art after what I've been through hasn't been an easy road. I'll show you the ways I continued to stay inspired and fill the well during creative fallow periods so that way you can get through it too.

So glad you're helping me with this workshop friend! We're going to make this event INCREDIBLE and I can't wait!!

@MelMitchJackArt Месяц назад

Hell yeah! Soooo pumped for this. Can't wait to help people map out their Art Businesses and dream BIG next weekend.

Thank you for being this incredibly vulnerable. It's hard when difficult times steal your passions. I'm so glad you've found a path away from there

@MelMitchJackArt Месяц назад

I'm so glad it resonated with you! I was shaking with anxiety my first night editing this and almost walked away from the video entirely. But really happy I didn't. The path away was a long and meandering one but really glad i found it! 💕

I quit before going to a proffessional art school. And fell on my butt a few times working in Graphic Design. I still can't escape Graphic design, but for me writing and working on a comic has helped me get back into art again. Age is also helpful, I have definitly mellowed out over the years.

Yes!!! The level of frustration I felt with professors who would side eye students who did not want to pursue some vague art purity. The art for art sake

I can sense your engery and honesty across the computer monitor. You are super smart.

Your tumblr inspired paintings are so cool!

@MelMitchJackArt 4 дня назад

Thank you so much! They were super fun to make! :)

I love your personality and videos! I started reading The Artist's Way but unfortunately never finished it when I moved. I need to find it!!!

@MelMitchJackArt 8 дней назад

Thank you so much! I struggle with the Artists Way but i think it has so many wonderful core lessons. Its worth picking up again! I suggest skimming the book, using notes and flags, and creating your own version with what works and resonates! that's what i am in the process of doing with it!

Have had The Artist Way for decades, and I just can't get through it. I hate the morning pages especially.After getting a page done, I don't really have anything of any importance to write down.

@fredericapanon207 4 дня назад

@beckywebb1916, I have never been a journaler, so the morning pages were very hard for me. Frankly, I did not get much out of them.

Step number one to jump starting the making of art. Disabuse yourself of the notion you will ever make any money at it, ever be famous or get into a big NYC gallery. There! Now you're free! Go for it!

@surrected4526 5 дней назад

28:09 Yes, I have quit that book. I tried reading it years ago, and again last year. Its content doesn't resonate with me. Perhaps, I'll try again... Three books that hit home for me in terms of mental "growth factors" are the following: _Wabi-Sabi: for Artists, Designers, Poets & Philosophers_ --Leonard Koren _Meditations_ --Marcus Aurelius, Gregory Hays (Translator) _The Myth of Sisyphus_ --Albert Camus 🦋This is a great video. Thank you for sharing. 🙏🏾

I found my way back it’s been over 20yrs BUT I’m back. I have learned so much on RU-vid from your channel and many other artist on RU-vid. ❤your channel

@MelMitchJackArt Месяц назад

Thank you and welcome back!!! Glad you’re here and making once again!

@mandydragnart 28 дней назад

I just finished going through The Artist's Way last month. It taught me some things about myself that I hadn't realized. I plan to revisit it in the future.

@MelMitchJackArt 25 дней назад

Amazing! Did you get through the book in 12 weeks? Or were there any things that were hard to do in the timeline for you? It’s definitely worth revisiting!
