Week 7

Chapter 4 of STEAL LIKE AN ARTIST, the author Austin Kleon emphasizes that we need to step away from the computer. Therese something about using our hands that connects with our art. The computers are great tools to make the final touch. He claims that sitting in front of a computer is kills us and our work.
I actually agree with the author, I do believe engaging more of our senses produce better work. There is something about touching traditional tools that just triggers our brain. I don't think it's just me, there are many artist of different genres that feel the same.
Computers are great, its a great tool for what ever art a person is doing. From illustration to music, an example is Dr. Dre. He is known for being a great music producer. He said that theres nothing better then real life instrument in a studio, something about the sound being better then just a computer generated sounds. Like I said, there is something about traditional tools that connects with our brain.

 I have no type of a studio I usually just go to my room to draw maybe paint, or sometimes ill take it to my garage to have more space. here are some pictures of how I usually set up my things an unfinished personal projects.

Week 12

On chapter 8 of  Steal like an artist,  Austin Kleon states that we should live our ordinary and boring life, that going out, hooking up and getting high is over rated. He also states that we should learn about how to hold and save money, and to have a day job in order to make a little money. Also to mark things out in life for example get a calendar for future events and a logbook to keep us on track on what we worked on. And lastly he says that we should marry carefully, to find someone who is willing to put up with us and hold us down. Like i said before Kleon said that we should have a routine. My routine consist of going to school and work on school work before i head to work. I usually head to work after school, but after work I tend to go to the gym for 2 hours. afterwards I go home sleep, but on my days off is where i try to do some art or my hobbies that i have. I tend to use the calendar on my phone to stay on top of thinks like appointments, events and projects. ...

Week 11

On chapter 8 of Steal like an artist, Austin Kleon states that we should make friends and ignore the enemies, to keep our heads up and ignore the haters. That we should write fan letters to our heroes even if they don't reply, and to always keep the compliment of the people if we get e–mails from them, and deleting the nasty ones. On page 102, the author suggests that we follow people who are way smarter than us. Ironically I been doing that for the past couple of years. I have 2 friends who I consider successful hustlers; they both own business and seem to be doing great. One of them is Jilani, he owns a used car dealer ship and also owns a couple of houses that he uses to rent out. His favorite phrase is "  scared money makes no money." My other friend owns a video game store named WE PLAY GAMES , his name is Victor and he always tells me to never burn bridges even if we don't like them, because we never know when we might need their connections. This examples don...
