What Great Artists Teach Us About Truth Telling | JPEGMAFIA, TYLER, THE CREATOR, RACHEL CUSK + 

That's the first time I see another account with a green "J". So I have to reply. 🤝😂

I love making them - and super happy people are here for the journey and enjoying them too. Thanks for being a part of it, and helping with the music too.

I see you are also not on your artist channel lol. what kinda music do you make & what's your channel?

This comment means a lot. I'm sitting here replying to these comments, whilst trying to avoid checking the data on this video to see how it's ranking against others I've done and all that. I've also removed the YT studio app from my phone - trying to distance the creation of the videos from the data that's coming back on them. What I'm saying is, I'm in exactly the same situation you're describing above. And trying to retain my sense of creative freedom and self expression just like you explain. When I read comments like this, on a video that's done well in views, or less well, it reminds me that doing this stuff is about connecting with individuals not large groups necessarily. Yeah, thanks for dropping it.

Dang

Really dig how specific this is. And I like the plan, it certainly feels strong to me. Just from a personal taste I always like stories that humanise the antagonists as much as any other character - as you said, it's just a more real story when we are forced to have some empathy for the 'bad' people involved.

Humanizing characters is so pivotal i think. Most of us can relate to the child/innocent version of the villain because in some way we (or some one we know) have shared the experience. And the way the mind works is magical. The same trauma a character experience could be the same as you but they took another reroute to medicate or soothe it.

I'm glad the videos are finding you. I hear you trying to balance where you want to sit in terms of making stuff for yourself or just living for yourself, and recognising the value of the others options on that too. I often try to approach my videos thinking - this time I'll deliver some simple message that can support creatives - and then I start doing the research and realise all I see is complexity in so many corners. I'm glad people are here for thinking about two sided problems, and balancing acts, and just complexity in general. And yeah, thanks for dropping your comment, and power to you on your own journey.

Appreciate that, and glad this one could resonate with you. I feel like this topic could be a whole YT channel on its own lol, so hope to make more videos which hit on it, and yeah, thanks for taking the time to support.

I appreciate you taking the time to comment the kind words - know that it matters.

Thanks for dropping in with the support - know that it matters.

My bro haha

Appreciate you taking the time to drop the support - know that it matters.

Really glad you dug this one - and thanks for taking the time to drop the comment and support. It matters.

I appreciate that and I haven't looked at it that way before. I thought this edit was kind of sketchy when I watched it back yesterday, but you're right and that's a nice way to put it and think about it. There's definitely more lines of depth in it with the voice to text stuff and the camera two and different text on screen, so yeah it's great to hear you recognise it and thanks for taking the time to drop the support.

Anytime! The sounds, the change of scene, it all flows very well and is becoming a recognizable style of yours. 🎨🎞

Thanks for taking the time to drop the kind words here. And yeah, I'm just glad you're enjoying them.

Everybody can do art bro , plus trash is subjective.

@@kiddfire9342 Everybody has the ability to seek to create art, but it takes time, endeavor, practicing the craft, & a lot of work.Yes, it can be subjective. Plenty of people think Warhol is an artist. I see just a plagiarist.

Thanks for leaving this here and taking the time to write it. I wish you all the power to push forward with what sounds like a really great place you're in with your creative work. Thanks for all the kind words on the work I'm doing here, and yeah, every time I hear someone saying the videos have genuinely supported them in some way, that means a huge amount.

I appreciate that angle - of the result of too much deconstruction and where it can lead. It makes me think of how Rachel Cusk speaks about her writing in lots of her interviews, and how it's obviously something she struggles with and is still unsure about in some terms, even after so much external acclaim. I didn't give myself the space to do it in this video, but there's definitely a discussion on modernism in literature that could've been had here too. I really appreciate this balance you put forward around deconstruction, and it's an interesting thinking point which I'll carry in my head. Thanks for the book recommend too - I will google it now and take a look.

@@creativemindsyoutube My favorite period for fiction is Modernism in general & European Modernism in particular. As in most cases though, there are examples of vastly different works, ranging from the Surrealists to the plotless works such as Musil's Man without Qualities to the very Romp-filled The Master & Margarita of Bulgakov. The degree of experimentation in literature was unparalleled. If you want some (more) input on titles (including literary criticism) just let me know. It's interesting that you talk about Ms. Cusk this week, as The Atlantic has a review of her new book. I can't not see this as a sign & actually buy a contemporary author's work (which is very rare in fiction for me). I know you put a lot of time & effort into your videos. It shows. My only suggestion would be to embrace a longer format. You bring up such thought provoking ideas, it would be great to go a little deeper. I am sure that life & all that entails keeps you busy enough, so I will enjoy what synapses you spark. Have you thought about also presenting these on the Nebula platform? I have no idea how one might go about that, but I think you would be a good fit.

Yeah I really heard that one too. I'm not a beat maker but I imagine it can get really frustrating trying to communicate to artists that you're not trying to copy others you want to do something completely different.

Loll, love this. You're definitely most definitely right. My coffee game is neanderthal desperate for caffeine level.

Cusk bringing the heat

Yeah I got you - insidecreativeminds.substack.com/p/i-dont-feel-comfortable-creating (hope you enjoy it)

@@creativemindsyoutube thanks bro I was waiting for this one. I have a similar situation as I've always had my own space & being without any space that's strictly my own the past few months has been really rough in a lot of ways even just mentally, let alone for trying to create anything meaningful.

Hey, thanks for your question. That's writer Knauseguard. He wrote a set of books that detailed his personal life with a stark and honest eye. The interview I used in that clip is here if you fancy watching more - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-di5UN5BpW-o.html

That's where I gather my strength to talk so much - pure soil water.

What do you mean exactly? My apologies, I need answers on top of answers lol.
