I love the phrase “Steal like an artist”, I believe inspiration can be anywhere, you just gotta exercise your awareness

so happy someone said this. The key to being creative is to make shit no matter if its trash, no matter if its cringe or wince worthy. There should be no expectations at the beginning of the creative process

Be hard Be hard Flex your muscles Flex your muscles

If you ask me, a simple artist, what I usally do is this: Don't go with the flow. Find what interests you and work on it, it doesn't have to be the most unique thing ever, do it for yourself, and you'll eventually get an audience.

What I've learned 10 years as an artist. Follow your interests. Be devoted to them. The more alien they are to your practice the better. Study it deeply learn the history and the amazing lives attached to it. Take notes and specifically any thought you have of what might be a new idea or a "what if". The what ifs are what you're looking for. That's your "Original idea".

I love pumping my creative muscle, thank you Karsten!

man you just keep evolving with your content and knowledge

Amazing video, you explained how to work on our creativity in a realistic and achievable way

mishima reference and a swans shirt i see you

This is such an excellent video!! So helpful

Great Video 🖤

you got me at the "staring at a white page listening to that aphex twin ambient mix" HAHAAH

If you’re not creative just be a designer lol

If anyone is interested in the body-mind connection aspect of Yukio Mishima and the Japanese viewpoint of it, The Book of Five Rings by Miyamoto Musashi, a book by the legendary undefeated ronin samurai is great as well. Goes into his style of fighting (Like fighting with two swords) but really emphasizes the point of being strict and such. Not a very long book, but a really cool one.

u dont have to keep making videos, we can already tell youre title fights biggest fan!! just kidding nice vid

criminally underrated

The Henry Rollins method sounds great. I think the reason I feel stuck with my own art is because I tend to consume the same things over and over again and Im too lazy to try something new. Thanks!

Thank you Karsten.

Really enjoyed your video has some great advice, I’m considering making content myself about certain less known brands from Japan and less known parts about punk fashion and fashion in general and was wondering if I could know what microphone you use? Or any recommendations, thanks.

bless this man right F now

What’s the background music at the start? Great video btw

Anyone have tips on how to not let your job drain you? I’ve noticed since I started working part time after I’m off work I feel insanely drained and don’t feel like doing anything. Then I end up falling asleep and doing it all over again the next day

Bruh where did you get that swans shirt I want it

I see now ❤

SWAAAANNSSS

this is for all my creatives out there!

Shout out to all my gooners out there

I couldn't make it past 3 minutes of this word soup

This dude looks like he’s a member of Chapterhouse

it's been around 4 years since I deleted socials and stopped being around the community on ig, I was figuring if your voice changed but noticed you actually stopped using certain accent from before that could be sensed as pedantic even if if was not the case, I see you more "awake" on this 2024 arc

Everytime I read sun and steel I'm always thrown off when he gets into the "fat people deserve to die" argument

Luv ya huni bun 😘

Meditation nikka

karsten i doubt but is the guy at 4:45 on "Former model ranks strangers' attractiveness | Lineup | Cut" youuu?? he looks sm like you wtf

sorta

So u want me to sit here and listen to u talking about "unlocking creativity" and the first thing in the video is wojack pics???

great video karsten what's the outro song?

Unhealthy content might create more interesting outcomes lol. It's what you make of it

Wideo

pls stop referring to art especially music as “content” other than that gr8 vid

Steal like an artist and watch the feds use it against you when you start winning. Don't forget to give credit. That will give you access to fanbases of artists whose music is in a similar energy towards yours

creativity!
