In this video, I explain a bit about how I capture ideas for my artworks. I think anyone pursuing a creative career understands the importance of following an idea, no matter how ridiculous it might seem initially. Ideas can be so elusive and are difficult to produce on the spot when you need them, so it's important to be open and prepared for when a good idea comes your way. I explain my method of capturing ideas, how I feel about ideas in general and the process of trying to bring concepts to life. I also show how random thoughts that I've jotted down in the past have developed and become large scale artworks.

Lol, I have a myriad of random scraps of STUFF in my space-that are going to get put in a big box (or two lol) labeled "art inspirations" as soon as I get organized (still finishing up my "Spring cleaning 2018 that never ended" tho actually 😕😄)-almost there! I LITERALLY moved to where I now live, with a suitcase of my life's belongings (5yrs ago-43yo), my purse and my cat. But IN that suitcase, carefully placed at the bottom, were some of my sketches from my time at F.I.T. and artwork done in highschool. I dragged these things from house to house and state to state lol. And as a lifelong artist, I find inspirations in all KINDS of things that I collect for that time when I need a lil boost in ideas! But as a lifelong smoker, I have thought that would be a cool thing to try to do as a piece (one upon a time lol). Decades ago actually, but as soon as I read your post, I was like YEAH! 😶 That WOULD be a pretty darn cool thing to do! ❗😄😜👍❗

Very valuable video and advice. It literally frees so many of us who are paralyzed by the angst of having ideas that are not “original enough”. It is just part of the process. Ideas are recycled and refined. As Jono puts it, ideas are often vague and fragile. It is important to capture them immediately before they vanish, as at first they usually are mere feelings and impressions. I am very glad to now to be supporting Jono’s fantastic work on Patreon. I encourage you all watching this video to also join Patreon and get access to more of the content produced by Jono. Great value. I think there’s a link below the video. Cheers

Seeing your creative process is so inspiring to me, Jono. Thank you so much for sharing these. Yes, being an artist is tough. People think it comes easy, but the amount of work needed to get a work completed, from getting the idea to effectively putting it down, yeah, not easy. 75% of all the work is in our heads. What comes after that is the easy part sometimes. Great job, I can't wait to see what else you will create that I know will take my breath away. Stay safe and keep being you. Thank you.

I really connected with your statement about being able to let go when an idea just doesn’t work. In my direct stone carving, I’ve had to learn to be extremely flexible with that concept. The few times that I’ve had very specific ideas for a stone...times when I’ve actually put ideas to paper, the stones have broken during the carving process. I’ve had to learn to step away, regroup, and let new ideas form, or just continue carving until I recognize something special happening and move in that direction. Many thanks Jono for your expertise, guidance, and inspiration! Cheers from Florida 🌞

As mentioned below, even one of your works produced in a lifetime is an astounding thing. But you absolutely are not alone. I've done more writing than art, but have the same problems sometimes. And you inspired an idea during this video, btw Escher's hands and your interpretation, gave me a thought of doing my own using yet another artist's famed style as an inspiration fr the interior of the hands, in order to express my personal identity and what my hands and the rest of me have been through this lifetime, which is a lot. Thanks for letting us in, sharing your thoughts, techniques and experiences. I especially like your works with antlers, trees and wildlife, and the unexpected ways you use the human body as a base for the rest of the piece, reminding us of our humanity, relationships to Nature, each other, ourselves and the fact that a body and the lifetime spent within it are a series of experiences. You and your mom are so fortunate to have such a good relationship and communication as colleagues and friends. Looking forward to the next video. Bright blessings and much love and light from Louisiana.

I think it was Adam Duff who suggested that, no matter your idea, follow it through to completion, even if you think it sucks or is not up to your noral level of skill. This trains your brain to identify what is a good and bad idea, or a useful or lame technique and gives you a chance to find soutions to turn mediocre ideas into great ones by exploration and experimentation.
