"Work fast" can be very wrongly interpretated as "Quantity over Quality". But for us, the over thinkers, that's the best advice of all. It's not about going fast, it's about going faster than you usualy go. Because in that way you don't think, you just do.

"I didn't snatch them... I took them" This guy arts

"Most of the flow that you will have while making art will come from all the things you are doing when you are not making art." That's something I always knew, but never put into words. Brilliant.

"You should go offline and should go deep" Best advice in these time of fast consumption and superficiality.

I knew Basquiat. He was a friend of my uncle who was also an artist. I only watched him work a few times. Otherwise we just kind of hung out. He had no idea that his art would become so collectable; this was a guy who knew what it was like to struggle. He wasn't much of a talker, except when he was high. But he was very smart, you could see that. The drugs got him. He could still be painting today.

Gotta feed your minds during your down time- thank you

1. source material 2. steal like an artist 3. have a message 4. speed 5. study memorize internalize

7:05"Well, that's kind of a slow process." "Well, I'm a slow person." This reminds me so much of something Tyson would say during interviews where people have no clue what they are truly looking at so it's best to let them live in their perception and be who they think they are. I'm a slow person was him saying the man can't comprehend him but he's whatever they perceive as long as he knows his truth. And obviously he is correct since he's the attraction and they are the ones looking in.

You have to know the interviewer asking Basquiat about his anger was intentionally framing Basquiat as a "angry young black man", a racist stereotype of the 80s and before. This interview makes my blood boil. Its a miracle he kept his cool and stayed calm and didnt play much into the framing.

"As an artist, I have witnessed in others and in myself the commitment, genius, and sacrifices that come with the creative process. Each artist has a unique approach to creating, and it always surprises me how easy it is for people, who usually don't make art, to make assumptions about artists who aren't famous. Commercial success does not necessarily result from the quality of the artwork itself, but rather from effective marketing and the financial resources available to promote it."

his last painting "riding with death" although simplistic by Basquait standards is a mastrpiece, probably my favorite pantings. the way he prophisized his own passing with the paintings subject matter gives it so much prominance

I DISCOVERED HIM IN JANUARY, I AM VERY LATE TO HIS GENIUS, BUT I SWEAR, YOU CAN APPLY THIS TO LITERALLY EVERY FACET OF LIFE. SPORTS, MUSIC, FASHION, WORKING OUT. YOU DO YOU AND YOU WILL FLOW. REST IN PEACE, BASQUIAT. YOU'VE HELPED ME GREATLY WITHIN THESE PAST 4 MONTHS.

Wow. This was the best YT video I’ve seen in a long time. The production and vocals felt so fresh. Very impressed and inspired by you 👏

I love the work ethic videos, its super helpful

I hadnt heard of Basquiat until this video. I think it popped up in my reccomended because i had been researching a jacket my friend wanted me to sell for him. The jacket is a Members only x Basquiat collab. I took the listing off ebay and I bought the jacket myself. Thank you for making art not content.

This is so wonderful, to see his actual process in such an intimate way. Beautifully done. Thank you so much. 💙💙💙

Another classic. I usually don’t look at comments but it was interesting seeing how divisive they are. Thats when you know you’re seeing real art (not just making something perfect for the masses but something that elicits an emotion). Loved this one bro!!

This is one of the best videos of Basquiat I have watched. I was wowed when you showed the reference material. Really learned a lot from this video. Thank you for making and sharing this 🙏🏽✨✨

Love that essay, the clips, the quotes, the info - only offturn is the downpitched voice, but that’s maybe an individual thing. Thanks for the basquiat love, he is my fav artist and a huge inspiration to me (I’m a musician and video guy)

Thank you thank you thank you! This video is an awakening for me… more work ethic videos please !

Thanks for putting pictures to the podcast!

also, smoke a joint

Wow. This was the best YT video I’ve seen in a long time. The production and vocals felt so fresh. Very impressed and inspired by you

This is fantastic especially w/ keeping in mind context as mentioned in previous comments. The message is clear and artful to the core of the soul.

i love this collection of videos. amazing. thank you.

this was really eye-opening, thanks for making this

probably the most inspiring, informative and captivating piece of video I saw on YT in a long time

I'm an artist and this just give me more than I thought I needed.

I don't think people who aren't naturally this kind of personality type realise this, but being like this, living like this, is super painful.

this podcast has changed my life and continues to give me that harsh pep talk i need every time i fall away from my intuition. thank u so much

This is one of the best videos I’ve watched in a while. I didn’t plan on watching the whole thing, but these 8 minutes felt like 30 seconds. Fantastic work!

Just found your channel. Subscribed from the title alone but your videos are fiiirrreeee. Shout out to all the artists navigating this content world today

This is amazing. Thank You so much for creating this.

Man I wish Kid Cudi had portrayed him in a biopic, bro looks just like him

the way this video is edited is art itself. beautiful. i felt like i just watched a music video instead of an informative one.

I can't believe this video came out two weeks ago. I've returned to it three times a day since it came out. Something about this message is assisting me massively in unlocking my potential, writing all night, determinedly practicing my crafts. I really appreciate the work that went into this video.

My favorite youtube channel rn

Thank you! I needed this.

I can’t believe you have a KZfaq and a Spotify podcast! I love your work - f’ing brilliant!

been listening to your podcast in my spare time and on way to skl. its some good work keep going love the art you make

Great video. I've studied Basquiat for a while and I always end up very sad that he had to deal with so many stupid people doing interviews. I haven't heard a good interview yet.

oh my god... this is the video my creativity has been craving

This is evoking a lot of emotions in me right now.. I used to want to be an artist of some kind, but my head kept getting in my way, days of creative block, imposter syndrome of how fast I got work done, so much upto the point I figured I was better off doing monotonous jobs, that I switched to being a Software Engineer. I've been dreading doing creative things again, but this video re-instills some faith in me. Keep at it everyone!

This is one of the best videos I've watched in my life. Fr. Very inspirational.

Wow beautiful.. too sad he died at 27 ..but glad he was alive ,even though it was for a short time.. Thank you friend where ever you are❤🙌🙏🏼🔥

WTF is this? Im motivated like never before and I don’t even know what I’m motivated about. Lol

This video is so unassuming and unmasked it’s great. The way it shines a light on genius and process ❤ From Australia 🇦🇺

First video I've ever seen from this channel...subscribed immediately...

on 2022, I went to The Broad in LA and see for the first time a basquiat collection, super inspired by that I beginned to work with canvas. Love basquiat.

Great Job. This was very inspiring and well put together. Made me want to get back to work immediately.

Thanks for getting this on line 🎉

Your work is very inspiring! Thank you.

i’ve watched a lot of vids on basquiat, this is by far the best one.

This video is truly eye opening

Found this channel a week ago frm the prince work ethic video n only gotta say this top tier content keep posting more n imma tune into the podcast on spotify while waiting for the next video to drop

Loved this video. Great storytelling, editing and tips!

“Am a slow person” I luv this, it’s the story of my life

These rituals work great in music too. Just be careful what you consider "taking" from other musicians. There is a fine line between being inspired by a song or musical artist and having similar production style vs. actual plagiarism that could land you in court if the music is released publicly.

Im obsessed with your voice and your channel!! Keep making stuff 💖

Ive watched this a few times already. Great work

You have some of the best art on KZfaq for helping creatives like myself. Thank you for what you do & I hope I can do the same for you one day

Jay-Z outta stealing your hairstyle fam!!

*Wow, what an enlightening and motivating video! Basquiat's work ethic was truly one of a kind, and this video captures that spirit perfectly. Learning about his unique approach to art is not just inspiring, but it's also a reminder that dedication and passion can truly elevate one's craft. Thanks for sharing this insightful content!*

this is the best video i have ever seen on youtube. thank you so much for this. you have completely inspired me

Speed! Speed! Speeeeeed!😢 I need some of that.

Lets go 🔥🔋

You my friend, are truly an artist. Phenomenal and inspiring page, keep it coming!!!!

I can't find anything new to say about the video. All i wanna say is that this video gave me a waaaay different perspective and i'm planning to use this in anything i create. Such a good video about an such a good artist. Good job.❤❤

Great channel name. That's the goal after the money starts rolling in to fund my own art channel.

Depression he was depressed I was just recently depressed and during my depression all I wanted to do was write children’s book s I wrote 30 books in two months. When I read one of them I couldn’t even believe I wrote it. Ideas kept Comin and coming and with each book I felt a thrill when my students see my books they gave the same excitement

Amazing video! So glad I came across it! Please turn this into a series looking at other artists 🙏🏼🔥

This is one of the best videos on youtube and the creative process

He had impeccable Music taste too :)

needed dat

This was so inspirational. I already recently got the habit of one drawing a day. This gave me new approaches to work with

thats the type of videos youtube needs!!! subbed and bell is on ❤

That who jayz looking like now

Most underrated art channel

This was so helpful, I wasn't even expecting it.

What a wonderful treatise on creativity and flow state as told through the framework of Basquiat's oeuvre and process, no less. Bravo, Kudos, and other super superalatives! Keep going!

One of the most important artists of his time. I'm glad he's getting the recognition he deserves.

Basquiat's the new Impressionism.

Great content and the editing is soo good! I'm in a loop of art block atm and this helps me ease a bit so thank you🤝

I feel like I'm sneaking to watch this😮👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Are these videos art or content?

When do they showcase the "talent" part?

I don’t know how I never knew there was a KZfaq channel. Thank you for this Father Bronques

its a constant battle against my authoritarian gelatinous, pink matter,,-- ive never been more thankful!!¡¡ - uu have gifted me the inspiration not only 2 overcome these imaginary obstacles,, but 2 understand myself and see myself in a light i hav never seen b4 4ever eternally grateful for ur impact on me. bronques

I absolutely love Basquiats work. It is fascinating to me how he was able to create such a distinct visual language despite the fact that we are at a point in modern art where there's almost nothing that hasn't been tried before.

I like how the video gave actually info on stuff the artist uses instead of talking about drugs

Clicked on this video after I watched a video on Nick Rubin and creativity. Coming from a high-school where the band program was more of a show band and for entertainment, and then, diving into super strict, regimented drum corps, I hardened. Became a bit square - but - what remains the same is being humble, being able to (as with part V): Study, memorize, and internalize, and apply these strict techniques across the board. Trying to balance that regiment/ "academia" of what's taught and having freedom is tough. It can't be forced. I had never heard of BASQUIAT to be honest. But I think I've seen their work (crazy how that works), and something to take away is how he is able to take what he "studied, memorized, and internalized" and apply it in a fashion that is totally unique. Also, talk about humbling. Meets his idol, and shows the greatest offer an artist could probably ever receive. Wow. Still love the square and neat tucked pockets of rhythms, and love a couple of artists I follow for their more lax, dilla/ off-grid style drums, but everything has a place. Able to play "out of pocket", but I love saving those moments for when there is an urgent message. Got a part-time job as a line member for a kitchen, making money, taking that post-work energy and getting right home to making music or recording samples. People think its absolutely crazy how consistent the energy is. But its worth it. Great video.

this is such a great video!

Jay Z looks left looks right … awe shdd they on to me 😂😂😂

looks like madonna and him 6:08

This is such a great video. Subbed

Love how he used the symbols book and of course as you say he had a purpose and meaning to his art that transcended just making good art, he was sharing a powerful message and reframing it, propelling it with his art.

Work=thic

Heroin is basically a cheat code to art...

Dude- absolutely love your channel
