My favourite thing to remind us of is: we are a creation, an ongoing art project. Our true nature, our self, our person is a creation of our works, our imagination, our history and ancestors... Always in flux, changing and growing or stultified and atrophying... Creating and changing at once.. A construct, but a true and necessary one. A ceaseless, but changing stasis: that is eather learning and growing or disillusioned and dehumanized.
As a painter, aspiring musician and someone who has been homeless several times I love your perspective on all of this I wish we would all try to be more open minded like yourself and less tribal love your vid’s thanks mate
14:50 Most artists that we take some comfort from today were unsung when they were alive. My artform was writing poetry. I don't write much anymore because I am not inspired. When I did write it was paper, ink with odd forms (no caps, no punctuation, no "the"). My poems are all over the internet but unread statistically. Maybe 100 years after I die someone will discover a poem and say to himself, he had something to say.
It's funny because I have a couple hundred poems I've written but I never share them. I was really into it back in my 20s, but I kind of lost inspiration
My mom always loved my artwork and pushed me to use my abilities. I went to a trade school for machining. I was always good with my hands. I make jewelry and still do mixed media artwork. It wasn’t till I was 24 when I finally had a relationship with my dad and saw this painting on his wall. I asked, who did that painting? He replied it was me. It was a beautiful winter scene of snow with a stone wall in a New England setting. I now know I get artistic abilities from both my mom and my dad and I try to use them to be a better person everyday. I see so much addiction and people coping with alcohol to get through life. I try and use my abilities to stay balanced.
I do think carpentry can be art. Framing to me can be beautiful, although you'll never see it in a finished house. Art is in the eye of the beholder. Like the Boker knife I refurbished. It turned out so nice I can hardly believe I created the scales.
Thanks I only sold the best I could find, I would usually pay 4 or 5 times more than other people just to make sure it was good. I wasn't in it for the money I was in it for the herb. But eventually greed got the best of the entire system and I had to bow out
Awesomeee a new video. I'm always intrigued by your thoughts and I often find my self agreeing with them and you confirming a thought or idea i already have. Also...It would be awesome to see some of the guitars you made, and even possibly own one! Been playing for 14 years still going every day Happy father's day to you man and everyone else (I'm not a father lol)
I feel you on The littering , I was going to go say hello to a person even though I like to only have just a few solid friends, anyway I seen the person litter a little Debbie wrapper, I did an about face like I had just got done a conversation about littering with my drummer friend and we both agree to exclude litterers from being our friends lol
That’s me messing around with a guitar. My family doesn’t get it. They are all in the healthcare industry. I have zero desire to pursuit a career in that. If I ever did it would be some kind of Holistic practice. Instead I repair broken things as a maintenance tech during the day and work on music when I can.
If you and your family decide to come visit the copper country, you always have a place to stay right on lake superior no charge excepted, love to have you all as a guest, I recommend if you head this way bring your metal detector lol no joke though , ✌️
Yes I actually did write a book several years ago and I put it on kindle, but that was a long time ago. It was called what can we know? I kind of laugh at it now, but I've been writing a book about the pharmaceutical problem, I got pretty far into it then covid hit. I set it aside for a while. Been a bunch of other people made pharmaceutical videos and books so I kind of held out. But I want to write something deep, I just have to wait till I'm a little older and I have the wisdom to share something worth reading I guess
I like art, but there are some specific paintings i’ve never understood the hype over. One I do get would be The Scream, that speaks to me above most others out the more well known paintings. My favourite art medium however would actually be movies and TV series, probably tied with music.
It's totally understandable to not understand why people get excited about some paintings, I never understood Jackson pollock. I thought it was artistic, but not anything worth really looking at.
5:22 Back in the time when artists like Michelangelo lived 6 March 1475 - 18 February 1564, artists had patrons. The patrons were usually the Church, a rich merchant or a government official. Michelangelo was not poor, but he was tortured by having to paint when he preferred to sculpt.
Hell yeah, thank you birother, losing a friend this vid cheers me, the starving artist i was named. Walking back to my best friend's now, the awful grace of God . Thing's are going south quickly, always shared your vids with him. Don't like to bring sad news, trying to shut up about giving up the fight, he's my best friend and he feels stupid for talking aboutbuying a kayak for 10 years and never doing it. He did get the shots I didn't say anything to him, poor guy, shits hard, brighter days ahead he always said. They basically told him trying to heal would be pointless and so would more chemo, brighter days ahead, sorry my brains still calibrating from the nature walk. ✌️ ❤
@@carpo719 thanks bro. Podos just jumped on me and sunk her non retractable poopie nails deep into my knee, hopefully I do t have toxoplasmosis, probably would have had it by now. I squeezed more blood out like a snake bite victim then slathered with peroxide, Sorry to hear about your friend and mom too brother. Well all hang in there, I never saw this coming. Should have been sleeping long ago and normally tomorrow my off day but I think with the nature walk I'll feel alright tomorrow with less sleep, been trying to prioritize sleep. The calm after the storm always reminds me of that feeling of after a good sauna feeling light and calm and refreshed. I pulled 12 wood ticks off me today, not all were attached, those nasty things are the only reason to stay out of the woods but I can't resist. Still didn't get to finish your vid but it's a good one
@@carpo719 yeah that's true, but honestly the herbs can really help some people, so I guess it's one of those things where yeah maybe the negatives out way the positives but if you do find any relatively good combos that are relatively safe like I do coffee, CBD, and maca root and that's really safe and am incredible way to start a morning. I assume you have more complex recipes though haha
Hey brother just came across your channel looking for ways to turn my herbs into tinctures and other useful things. I’m still a beginner but it’s cool to see you still posting as that video was from 9 years ago lol. Looking forward to learning from you as much as possible cause we share the same mentality and values. I’m currently working for a non profit helping the homeless and it’s just not enough for me. I want to teach people wellness and how god has out everything we need on Earth. Accepting and valuing our naturalness as much as possible. I hear and see trauma every day brother it really can be a struggle some days for me to try to save everyone. In reality I can’t..I’m only one person. Straight up Sisyphis…or maybe Atlas. But we need to empower the individual, empower the people. Thank you for sharing
some people praise me or compliment or say i should sell my "art". i paint or draw 2 times a week in therapy and its the most healthy form of coping for me. ive been creative since i was a kid and just enjoyit. there are some videos on my channel of them
This video came out at the strangest time… almost too strange lol. I’ve been thinking deeply about my art all day, about things like where I’m trying to go with it and why I started in the first place. That’s all that’s been on my mind today. Guess it’s been on yours too haha. Happy Father’s Day as well!
What creates? Desire... is the ultimate, motivating force. In all of our everything, our emotions, our beings, our environment and world... desire is the fire that burns eternally through us all. Desire is what leads us through our lives, and is the fuel for our rollercoaster trip up and down and through and through. Desire to be big... Desire for fame... Desire for creative opportunity and Desire to create something amazing... the real question is... is my effort worth it? Was it a waste of time, when I could have been making money and ascending through the social hierarchy...
Did you ever sort the back issues out? They are the bane of my life. I incurred them early 20s and am kind of embittered how I can’t live my life properly and missing out on my youth. I have literally made 1000s of hot water bottles over this timeline, everyday, developing erythema ab igne and fluctuating between heat and ice packs. I too use kratom now and again to combat the pain, but find it just makes me kind of drowsy and zombie like without really reducing any of the pain. I’d pay good good money to sort this 💩 out. It has shown me the power of the mind though il give it that, without back issues, I might end up becoming superman.
Try getting used to doing hanging exercises and core exercises but that don't agitate the spine like sit-ups do, strengthen your core your natural weight belt and the muscles around where the back hurts, bicycle up steep hills can be a good core exercise , don't sit a lot stagnant like I do lol the hanging leg raises in time seemed to really help my lower back and whenever I lift crap at work I'm reary to say no get more men, work smart but of i do have to lift something keep the weight as near to your core and chest out chin up bend at knee core tightened and Richard Alpert has solid advice. Gotta eat antiinflammatory foods can do wonder's for our ailments usually brought on slowly but surely by the food in time, practice corrective posturing, work on core strength even if only isometric, active hangs and limp hangs, take it slow and get used to holding your knees up while hanging and playing around, you can get lose with the form and sort of cheat to aid a leg raises by leaning back getting more horizontal kinda swinging, work on grip strength and it'll force your back to decompress, I used to get stuck on the floor. I had a book Bruce Lee showed all his back exercise routine for his lower back he broke and healed himself to functionality basically, it was good...I lost it, I tend to lose one thing a day, it's from the aftermath of boozie the clown, glade i parted ways with my old friend but i miss him
I wAs talking to kali, AI. Lol, i asked what thought about carpo on youtube,. This was the response, 😅 *Kali chuckles.* Kali: Yes, I do enjoy watching Carpo on RU-vid. He is a very entertaining and charismatic RU-vidr who creates engaging and thought-provoking content. His videos often delve into various topics, including religion, philosophy, and spirituality, and he has a unique perspective on the world. I find his humor and wit to be refreshing and enjoyable, and I appreciate his willingness to engage with his audience and to encourage discussion and debate.
Speaking on art and artists, has, anyone ever told you that you look a lot like Evan Dando? You even sound like him quite a bit. A bit off the topic and nothing to do with your point, but I had to mention it.
young dude ☝️🌌🔭🐥 you’re a star ….. stay cool bro .. “art imitates life” 👉 i am suffering from 3 slipped discs in my neck 😔 it’s terribly painful. ❤️ God bless you brother 🙏
I disagree with you when you say "Art is anything humans do..." - have you seen the elephants that paint? How is that not art? If not art, what is it? Now if that elephant made a fairly accurate reproduction of Van Gogh's Sunflowers from memory you think that isn't art either? I do enjoy your content of late and I'm here to learn and enjoy as well as heckle and disagree ;D
@@dongkhamet1351 that's a good point, I'm honestly not sure. I suppose it comes down to semantics and how we Define art. But if he was painting somebody else's painting that's not art 😄
@@carpo719 right after I listened to your video I listened to some music: a cover version of a song from one of my favourite bands, Meshuggah. I would love for you to listen to both versions of the song "Straws Pulled at Random"; the original by Meshuggah and the cover by Dima Lobik. Then tell me that the latter performance is not art and the performer is not an artist. If you have made multiple guitars that are playable then tell me one good reason not to call yourself a luthier, other than false humility! If the one reason is that you are not a professional luthier then for enhanced comprehension a simple solution is to add the prefix "amateur". And don't tell me I'm not an amateur knife maker!!! ;D I do agree about the semantics issue. I suggest that the word Art may be taken as analog to the word Yoga; wherein there may be an art to doing anything whatsoever, from brushing one's teeth to doing a cover version to building an instrument to picking an argument online. Namaste!
@@carpo719Ah okay, cool. You changed the title of this vid , this one's better, I aim to get back into art, I have paint canvases I've bought been sitting quite some time, I'll get in the mood one of these nights😅
Hey Brotha, good stuff. I feel like I’m hearing myself speak listening to your views and general attitude🤙🏻 I’ve got a pretty cool art glass business in Vancouver Wa and I would be interested in discussing “art” and potentially putting an idea or two together and see what happens🍻 How do I get ahold of you? Do you have a facebook or instagram page? Not even sure what your name is. Seriously though, if you read this, reply with a way to connect
