Everyone romanticizes being an artist.
Until it’s 4am, you’re broke, and still painting because your soul doesn’t have an off switch.

Tomorrow I turn 41.
It's 20 years of doing things, building, failing, trying again.

I have been doubting my creativity SO many times in life. Being stuck, needing a helpful hand.

So, as my birthday gift to you - I made this little something. To raise YOU up.
HERE :) 👇

If you read only 1 piece of advice today, let this be it:

Stand proudly where you stand - this is your place in the world.
Think, breathe, create, love from that place. Cause no one else is standing where you are.

New interview up on Sofi on Art — featuring the quietly powerful work of Steven Seinberg.

We talk about solitude, visual problem-solving, and creating space for slower, more meaningful connections through art.

Everyone wants to be different.
No one wants to be disliked.
Too bad ... you can’t have both.

David Lynch said: “For a feature film you need 70 ideas. You put these on the cards, and you have the film.”

I wonder: Can we approach all our creative tasks so systematically?

For a short story, let’s say 3 ideas? You can come up with these, no question abt that, right?

Done -> to the next one🦋

Creativity belongs to everyone, in every field. You stop dividing creativity into art and science, business or play.

It simply emerges wherever you pay quiet attention.
