I've had that spark, that desire to, but life has kept me busy and so, with everything that's been happening, I've convinced myself that there are "better things to do" when I do have some spare time. This video truly spoke to me, though. It spoke to that spark that I've been keeping bottled up. Let's get creating, everyone. Let's share our spark!

People continue attributing their changes in state of mind to things outside of them. They don't realize their weakness.. He didn't make this for you, he wasn't thinking of you.. he was, in fact, being super general about it! And more importantly, he doesn't know or care about you.. not really. How can he!?

Been there man, but it gets better trust me. Start with self love and positive mental talk, get your diet right, and throw in some light exercise, and be excited about how great you are..and how cool the future is going to be. I struggled with anxiety and depression for 5 years, and one day I started making small steps to take better care of myself and my mind, meditation, yoga, talking into a mirror saying "you're awesome, and you can do whatever you want to in this life" Small things like that add up over the months, and eventually you realize being depressed or anxious is a waste of the time you could spend being happy and filled with passion. Best of luck to you, there's an awesome person inside waiting to blossom..just takes time and effort!

I'm 35 and have never considered myself particularly creative. As someone new to the creative field, I find it reassuring to hear that it's acceptable to draw inspiration from others or not always strive for originality.

A thing I've learned in my own space of writing, is "creativity" is just associating different inspirations together into different structures and then noodling on them, developing the pieces into something that makes sense to you and appeals to your core desires. I've seen things that were totally new and original to me, and it inevitably turned out to be because the creator was into a bunch of other things I'd never heard of or didn't know enough about.

I'm 40, been drawing and writing since i was 7. Something i came to understand about "Originality" over the years was something close to this. As creators, we're all mostly working with the same ingredients but what makes it original is the theme behind the creation itself. Even if what we create has been created before, we continue its creation because we personally see value behind its continued existence. We don't want that particular style or flavor or message or theme to fade into obscurity, that is what drives culture. Culture is the combined productions we create and the skills we master to maintain those creations.

I know this video was more meant for artists, but I’m a mathematician (well technically a mathematician in training lol) and this really resonated with me. I love animation and I love to draw. I’ve always wanted to fuse the two passions and tell an animated story that takes place in a non-Euclidean world or make an animated story inspired by algebraic structures and group theory. This video is really inspiring me to learn to animate so I can do that. Also in math there’s a similar sentiment to what you shared. In math there’s always this pressure to find the “most clever” or “most elegant” proof. And when you’re someone like me, someone who has no previous family member who perused a STEM field and someone who’s just trying their best to understand what math is really about, that type of pressure is overwhelming. It makes me think that if I fail find the “most clever” proof then I must not belong in math. But just as you said, so long as the logic works out, it really doesn’t matter if the proof is as clever as possible. At the end of the day a proof is a proof. It gets the job done regardless of if more clever or creative solutions exist. Thank you so much for making this.

That's really cool that you're so passionate about math and can tie it to art in that way! I'm an artist learning coding to do gamedev, and I find this issue a lot too: Coders try to flex by being "clever" and push you to make the most "elegant" and fancy code using the most niche techniques. They use cleverness as some kind of metric of worth, when in reality, it'll be unlikely that others or even themselves will be able to remember what super clever thing they did when they look at it again 5 years later. (Also "nEvEr ComMeNt EvEr YoUr CoDe ShOuLd Be SeLf DoCuMenTing" lol) That crazy little electric rock-in-a-box is still gonna crunch that code down into machine-language so fast that saving two or three cycles with unreadable cleverness isn't gonna matter in the end. (Also some crazy coding-whiz types will legit look down on gamedevs for using an engine. Wat.) This hyper-competitive "I need to be better than everybody else or I'm nothing" sociology needs to die so fast. I am glad there's people like you, passionate and engaging about exploring the source-code of the universe. :)

This makes me even more happy with my current path. I’ve finally got my ADHD diagnosis officially, working on getting it treated, and learning to push AND set my boundaries when it comes to the things that help me thrive (co-morbid anxiety be damned)! I don’t have to 100% everything; I just do my best to get close to it or where I can manage to get it. I don’t need to punish myself for failure-just patiently hold myself accountable for next time. I even encouraged myself to explore experiences I often avoided, like art challenges. There was one this past month that I missed, but I didn’t let that missed deadline hold me back, nor did I make myself look away from the FB page and seeing all the art flood in for the challenge. It all reminded me why I wanted to try the challenge even at my current level, and even now I want to finish the piece and upload it after the fact, because that’s the growth I need. Journey before destination, and always keep on making that next step. Thanks for the video, Josh!

I’m being honest with you - There are many people I’ve seen who promote their platform for their own selfish needs, but there are very few people I’ve seen who use their platform as a means to spread happiness and joy among the creators in our community, like you do! It’s amazing how connected we all are in this vast universe but also so beautifully unique at the same time. I really wish I could make it to the Lightbox Expo in Pasadena, but I live all the way in India and well…it’s a really long way from home 😂 I truly wish you the best and I’m so grateful for your talks, your thoughts and the way you express them.

This should be shown in art schools day 1. After watching a few other videos from you I'd like to say thank you for putting words on the mental side of being an artist. Like you know, sometimes we're way too focused on work itself that we don't take the time to reflect on the process of ideation. Happened to me for the past ten years and I feel I'm growing again now that I'm taking the time to put the pencil down and analyze... work, life, what happened recently, what do I like and don't like etc... Also I've studied art 20 years ago, had a nice career since, but always felt I didn't have a style of my own cause what I was taught is advertising and being able to mimic any style asked from the client. This angle pushes you to master a lot of technique but it suppresses your own voice in the long term. And it's only very recently (I'm 40) that I come to the realization that whatever style I'm doing, whatever topic or theme I'm painting... it's always going to embed a part of me whether I want it or not. My colleagues can recognize my work even if I don't tell them I did this or that piece. It's still a bit of a mystery to me but your explanation here did put an end to this reflection. We are unique by default, period. Anyway thanks again for sharing these very precious knowledge.

we're all different enough to find meaning, and we're all the same enough to understand what we find.

Thank you so much for this. I can’t say I have the thought “someone has already made this, so I shouldn’t even try” very often, but it happened to me earlier today while I drawing. Even though I know we are the same and yet unique, I think it can be easy to lose sight of that and pretend we are just copying. Again, thank you for saying what I needed to hear today

Thank you for your message :) I want to ask if anyone can give me tips on traveling for the light box. I've only ever traveled when I was young with my parents. I've never booked my own flight or been to an expo. Any tips are extremely welcome and I will be very thankful for any! Like where would I stay? I am pretty low on funds so where else could I stay besides a hotel? etc. Going to Light Box to me would be life changing, and my first real adventure as a young adult. If I can go, I hope I can meet some of yall there :)

Thank you Josh, I was about to given up a dream. I'll get back to create things, and just put out there... and maybe this could resonate with others who just needed to see what I need to share.

Your dream is the key to unlock everything you have ever wanted. Your deepest desires. Even if you can only spend 5 minutes a day hiding in the closet, in the dark, secretly working on it... thats enough. As long as you don't give up!
