“Advice to Aspiring Artists”.

This is very short. But if you only ever watch or reblog one YouTube video with me in it, make it this one. I mean it. This is important.

Transcribed for your quoting convenience:

“Saying that we have enough artists is like saying we have enough scientists, we have enough designers, we have enough politicians — we have enough politicians — but, you know, nobody gets to be you except you. Nobody has your point of view except you. Nobody gets to bring to the world the things that you get to bring to the world — uniquely get to bring to the world — except you. So, saying that there are enough writers out there, enough directors out there, enough people with points of view. Well yeah, there are, but none of them are you. And none of those people is going to make the art that you are going to make. None of them is going to change people and change the world in the way that you could change it. So if you believe somebody that says, “no, no, we’ve got enough of those,” then all it means is that you are giving up your chance to change the world in the way that only you can change it.”

Signal boost for the transcription. (Thank you.)

Corezone by Dorota Skalska and Adnieszka Mazur.

Some things are best left unsaid; others needed to be lifted off our chest. Here, the Corezone allows one to deposit their thoughts and feelings into the bank of its porcelain walls. For those heavy moments that are too much of a burden to constantly wear around our necks.
