It means a lot to me that you’d send good words. It used to feel a bit like I was/am working in a vacuum. Comments like yours go a long way towards making the videos worth doing

If you build it, they will come. It doesn’t work in reverse. Great talk Mr. Earls. Much appreciated.

"Work is made before the opportunity presents itself!" That is very true and hard hitting.

this seems to be a common thing to expect that an oppurtunity just pops up out of nowhere ... i wonder why most of us are having to deal with such an situation

This is all great as a student trying to make a living with my work

The work works on you too. Its a refinement process that goes both ways! Being an outsider is tough but being a non starter is truly abysmal. Thank you for the video!

such a big fan of your videos. criminally low subscriber count compared to the value you are providing.. the good news is, as subscribers come, they go through the archive so just keep on going.

"There are two paths you can go by, but in the long run, there's still time to change the road you're on."

This is the exact video I’ve been waiting for you to make for a while now. At some point over the last year and a half or so, I realized if nobody’s paying attention to you, that means that there’s no one around to stop you. The same people you see “wasting” the opportunities you “should” have probably are having their energy spread thin and vision narrowed by expending it on the same things you want. In the meantime, you can use yours to shoot shots at angles they can’t see. It’s still not an easy path but getting to play on your own terms is a privilege afforded to the outsider, one that is not afforded in many other areas of life.

Straight fire. You are really bringing the goods on this latest batch of vids, Elliott!

Your channel is a treasure trove of indispensable advice for (visual) artists that I have never seen so well articulated and expressed anywhere else. Thank you!

needed this

Brilliant.

Powerful advice, thank you

i am binge watching your videos and i feel like I'm getting MUCH better as designer and artist, thank you!

I have that print in my office somewhere, will have to dig it out. These videos are also great Elliot, keep em coming.

I'm 36, kind of returning to creative path after years of abstinence, and being jaded I guess.. this channel is very important to me right now

Your series has made me rethink a decision to give up art by providing practical strategies to not let it be a waste of time/a life. Thank you for your efforts. Please don't stop.

This was helpful

I think I can't be thankful enough for your thoughts.

Hey Elliot, I absolutely love your channel and this piece of advice coincides well with your previous advice of developing design instincts. Your work arounds for trying to create the work you want to create in the style you want it as well will develop your style and the parts of your work that is YOU more so than the actual content. As a skater so often you hear that people want to film a video/full length but they just need a nicer camera/a Filmer/a car/better spots/etc……etc….. I finally stopped making excuses two years ago with my ideas and just started making what I thought of and now looking back I have accomplished far more than I could have imagined! I Finished my first full length skate video in may and sold out of my fourth batch of hand screen printed clothes, thanks to people like you for giving advice and making the creative journey a lot less lonely and scary.

Yo. Killer! I LOVE hearing this. The one thing that I (hope) that I’m not is a hater. IN OTHER WORDS, I absolutely love hearing about people who are living in a way that gives them meaningful work and money and power. I believe the only way it’s going to work for me, is if I’m surrounded by other people who are also killing. I just dug out (a couple of months ago) my original 8mm Sony handycam and the footage is much more interesting than my iPhone. No excuses. I (and everyone else) am doing exactly what I want in every moment. By definition. Any other understanding of my (one’s) actions is a lie. No excuses. ❤️👊

Great video, this was very inspiring as I am just getting into the design industry ❤

Hey… 👋 Sincere thanks for the Super Thanks! I genuinely mean that. That’s incredibly kind of you 🙏

What an outstanding episode. I've been procrastinating/ half-assing for like 3-4 years (ever since I decided that I wanted to write, basically). It hasn't been easy, because I started to receive screenwriting lessons, got told by the teacher that I showed promise and that he wanted me in his team like super-fast, then covid struck almost immediately and I had to deal with deaths in the family, depression and a FUCKING existential OCD that brought me to the edge. Now I have fortunately recovered (because I am an absolute mental health champion) but it is undoubtedly the case that I don't have the work. I still have a spot in the production studio (although I feel like I don't deserve it) and also I feel that, being 30, I'm too old to be a noob. But then again, if I don't take the chance now, when? It's so great to be able to watch a video like this, from someone genuine like you, that seems to come at the perfect moment. Thanks for your advice and for sharing your experience with the world
