FROM THESE SPONSORS.

AND VIEWERS LIKE YOU.

THANK YOU.

>> THIS TIME ON "BROAD & HIGH" MEET ARTHUR NORMAN.

EXPERIENCE THE COLOR FULL CREATIONS OF SYDNEE SPIVEY.

LEARN ABOUT ALL PEOPLE ART.

EXPLORE HEALING WITH ARTIST SBA.

THIS AND MORE RIGHT NOW ON "BROAD & HIGH."

WELCOME TO "BROAD & HIGH. "

I'M YOUR HOST, KATE QUICKEL.

WE START OFF TODAY WITH AN ARTIST WHO IS ALSO A COMMUNITY BUILDER.

ARTHUR NORMAN IS A CREATIVE WHO WORKS WITH INDIVIDUALS AND SMALL BUSINESSES OUT OF HIS CENTURY OLD BUILDING IN THE KING LINCOLN DISTRICT.

LET'S LEARN MORE ABOUT HIS PASSION FOR SERVING PEOPLE AND THE COMMUNITY.

>> I WOULD SAY I'M A CREATIVE.

THE FIRST THING THREE LETTERS OF MY NAME IS ART.

I HAVE ALWAYS IDENTIFIED AS AN ARTIST.

I ENJOY BUILDING SPACE AND USING SPACE TO BE A BRIDGE TO COMMUNITY.

WITH THIS SPACE, WE WANT TO BRING BACK THE ORIGINAL BASEBOARDS AND JUST ANY OF THOSE HISTORIC COMPONENTS THAT WE CAN RESTORE, UNIQUE TO THIS AREA.

I FIND A LOT OF INSPIRATION IN HISTORY.

I WOULD SAY BETWEEN HISTORY AND TRAVELING AND BEING ABLE TO SEE DIFFERENT CULTURES AND JUST HOW THEY ARTICULATE THEIR SPACE.

HISTORIC PRESERVATION IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ME.

AS WE TELL THESE STORIES OF WHAT WAS ONCE HERE PREVIOUSLY, I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO BUILD UPON THAT.

WE DON'T ALWAYS TAKE CARE OF OUR HISTORY.

BUT BEING ABLE TO EXPOUND ON WHAT WAS ONCE BEFORE IS SOMETHING THAT'S IMPORTANT TO ME, FOR SURE.

WE ARE SITTING IN BROWNSVILLE.

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO AREN'T FAMILIAR, HISTORICALLY BLACK NEIGHBORHOOD.

THE BUILDING IS ABOUT 100 YEARS OLD.

AS WE PURCHASED OR AS WE WENT THROUGH THE PROCESS OF PURCHASING THE BUILDING, I SAT WITH THE OWNER FOR ABOUT AND HOUR JUST TALKING ABOUT THE HISTORY OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

WE TALKED ABOUT HOW JEWISH AND BLACK PEOPLE WORKED TOGETHER IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD.

A LOT OF TIMES THE JEWISH PEOPLE WOULD OWN THE BUILDINGS AND BLACK PEOPLE WOULD OPERATE THE BUSINESSES THAT WERE IN THE BUILDING.

THAT RELATIONSHIP HELPED TO STAND UP THIS NEIGHBORHOOD.

THE BEGINNING PROCESS IS A LOT OF CONVERSATION JUST UNDERSTANDING WHAT EITHER THE CLIENT WANTS OR WHAT I WANT TO GET OUT OF THE PROJECT.

JUST A LOT OF CONVERSATION AROUND IDEATION.

WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE?

ONCE WE KIND OF HAVE THOSE CONVERSATIONS AND FLESH OUT DIRECTION WE WANT TO GO, MOVING INTO LOOK AND FEEL AESTHETIC.

FROM THERE, WE ARE JUMPING INTO OVERALL DESIGN.

WHAT KIND OF FINISHES?

WHAT KIND OF LOGO TOUCHES?

IT REALLY DEPENDS ON THE PROJECT.

THAT KIND OF GUIDES HOW WE APPROACH IT.

I WOULD SAY CONVERSATION IS THAT FIRST STEP.

AS YOU ARE COMING INTO THIS SPACE, WE ARE USING ALL OF THE SURFACES AS STORAGE BUT ALSO AS CREATIVE EXPRESSION.

BUT AS YOU LOOK AT THE WALL, IT'S A MIXTURE OF BOTH.

SOME ARE GIFTS THAT PEOPLE HAVE GIVEN US.

SOME OF THEM ARE ARTISTS' WORK FROM THE COMMUNITY.

SOME OF THEM ARE POSTERS FROM JUST MY TRAVEL.

I'M INFATUATED WITH PRINT.

HAVING PRINTED MATERIAL AND BEING ABLE TO TOUCH AND FEEL.

SO WHEN I TRAVEL, I'M LOOKING FOR BOOKS, BUSINESS CARDS AND POSTERS.

WHEN SOMEBODY WALKS INTO THIS SPACE, I WANT THEM TO SAY, I CAN CREATE IN HERE.

THE BARBER SHOP UP FRONT IS, I'M COMING HERE TO GET A TRIM.

WASN'T TO FEEL ATTRACTIVE OR HANDSOME AFTER I LEAVE HERE.

WHEN YOU WALK IN, THOSE ARE THE KIND OF FEELINGS THAT WE WANT PEOPLE TO HAVE.

SYDNEE SPIVEY IS AN ARTIST.

SHE CREATES MANY MULTIPLE MEDIUMS.

IT'S LIGHT AND BRIGHT.

WE MET UP WITH SYDNEE TO TALK ABOUT HER WORK.

♪ ♪ >> I AM AN ACRYLIC ARTIST.

I'M ALSO DOING DIGITAL ART.

ALL KINDS OF ACRYLIC ART.

SOMETIMES I DO WHAT MY MIND IS TELLING ME TO DO.

SOMETIMES IT'S LINE ART OR DIFFERENT WAYS OF COLOR.

IF I HAVE A SPECIFIC IDEA, I LIKE TO GO TOWARDS THAT.

I LIKE TO USE AS MUCH COLOR AS I CAN.

MY MIND IS VERY BRIGHT AND LIGHT AND AIRY.

THAT'S HOW I CARRY MYSELF.

THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO PUT INTO MY WORK.

I LIKE BRIGHTNESS.

MY PERSONALITY REFLECTS THAT.

I USE A LOT OF WHIMSICAL THINGS.

I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A CREATIVE.

I FEEL LIKE I WANT TO GET THOSE JUICES OUT.

I PICKED UP A PAINTBRUSH IN 2017.

I REALLY JUST HAVEN'T STOPPED SINCE THEN.

I WOULDN'T SAY TAUGHT MYSELF, BUT AS MY --I GOT MORE COMFORTABLE WITH BEING CREATIVE AND MORE COMFORTABLE WITH UNDERSTANDING MY IDEAS AND UNDERSTANDING MY THOUGHT PROCESS AND MY BRAIN AS FAR AS HOW I WANT TO GET MY EMOTIONS OUT.

THE INFAMOUS SIGN FOR BLACK POWER.

I WANTED TO BRING IN THE INFINITY STONES.

THE ARTWORK AROUND AND IT WAS COOL HE COULD CHANGE THE TRAJECTORY OF THE STORY WITH ONE SIMPLE ACTION.

I THINK THAT REALLY REFLECTS DURING BLACK HISTORY MONTH KNOWING THAT WE AS BLACK AMERICANS KIND OF LEAD THE WAY OF POP CULTURE IN A SENSE.

SHOWCASE THAT IN MY OWN WAY.

USING THE WATCH ON THE WRIST AND THE RINGS JUST SHOWS REALTY.

♪ ♪ THIS ONE WAS THE FIRST BIG PIECE I DID.

I WAS TRYING TO CHALLENGE MYSELF ON HOW IT'S GOING TO LOOK AND HOW I CAN EXECUTE IT.

I WANTED TO THROW COLOR IN THE BACKGROUND.

I LIKE TO WORK WITH COLOR.

I DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT TO PAINT SO I WILL PAINT AND ALLOW THE PAINTBRUSH TO DO THE MOVES WHERE MY BRAIN IS MOVING IT THE WAY THAT I SEE FIT IN THE MOMENT.

SOMETIMES I GET INTO OVERTHINKING AND TRYING TO PLAN TOO MUCH.

NOT KNOW HOW TO GO ABOUT IT.

SOMETIMES I JUST PAINT AND ALLOW MY CREATIVE EXPRESSION TO TRANSLATE TO THE CANVAS.

WHAT IS MOST IMPORTANT FOR ME IS BEING ABLE TO EXPRESS MYSELF IN A WAY THAT NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE CAN.

I THINK ALIGNING MYSELF TO BE ABLE TO EXPRESS MYSELF IN COLOR AND EXPRESS MYSELF IN CREATIVITY AND PUSHING MYSELF TO SEE WHAT MORE I CAN DO WITH MY CREATIVITY AND NOT BEING --ALLOWING MYSELF TO NOT BE BOXED IN.

BEING ABLE TO SEE MY IDEAS COME TO LIFE IN FRONT OF ME, I THINK THAT'S A VERY --I WOULD SAY A SUPERPOWER IN MANY SENSE.

THAT WOULD BE THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF BEING AN ARTIST AND CREATIVE AND SEEING WHAT OTHER KINDS OF ART CAN I GET INTO?

MAYBE SEWING OR FABRIC WORK OR SOMETHING ALONG THOSE LINES.

SEE WHERE I CAN GO IN MY CREATIVE CAREER ON A PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL LEVEL IS THE MOST REWARDING THING.

>> I LOVE THESE INGREDIENTS.

IT'S VERY SIMPLE.

I'M EXCITED TO GET STARTED.

BEFORE WE JUMP IN, TELL ME ABOUT THE HANDS-ON OPPORTUNITIES AVAILABLE AT ALL PEOPLE ART.

>> I LOVE THIS.

IN THE ARTWORK SHOPS ARE ARTISTS SERVING OTHER ARTISTS.

ARTISTS IN THE COMMUNITY ARE LEADING AND SHOWING HOW TO DO THEIR TRADE AND THEIR ART TO OTHER ARTISTS.

THAT'S IN THE WORKSHOPS.

WE DO IN THE COMMUNITY WORKSHOPS WHICH ARE FREE WORKSHOPS THAT ARTISTS ALSO PROVIDE.

THIS IS FOR THE COMMUNITY.

YOUTH, CHILDREN, ELDERS, WHO CAN COME.

THEY ARE USUALLY THEMED AROUND THE HOLIDAYS OR ANYTHING WE HAVE GOING ON.

WE PROVIDE ART KITS FOR THE SENIORS AND ART KITS HAVE ACTIVITIES THEY CAN DO.

WE JUST LOVE TO CREATE OPPORTUNITIES WHERE PEOPLE CAN BE EXPLORING ART WHEREVER THEY ARE.

>> THAT'S GREAT.

I LOVE THAT CONCEPT OF ARTISTS SERVING ARTISTS.

THINK ABOUT THEM SERVING COMMUNITY, BUT THEY CAN LEARN FROM EACH OTHER.

>> THAT'S THE BEST PART.

>> I'M EXCITED TO PUT THESE INGREED INGREDIENTS TOGETHER.

I KNOW THERE'S A SPECIFIC ORDER.

>> IT'S IMPORTANT YOU START WITH THE LETTUCE.

PUT THE LETTUCE AT THE BOTTOM.

THEN YOU GO TO YOUR TOMATOES.

PEAS AND CARROTS.

THEN WE MIX THE WHIP THAT WILL GO ON TOP.

SPREAD THAT ACROSS IT TO PUT A LAYER TO CAP IT.

>> ALL THESE GOODIES.

>> HAVE FUN.

COVER IT WITH THE CHEESE --CARROTS, CHEESE, BACON BITS.

>> I LOVE IT.

WE HAVE THIS GORGEOUS BIG BOWL HERE.

IS THAT HOW YOU RECOMMEND SERVING IT?

>> YOU CAN ONLY APPRECIATE IT AT THE END IF YOU CAN SEE THE COLORS ON THE SIDES.

>> I AGREE.

DO WE NEED TO MIX UP THE DRESSING?

>> YEAH.

>> I WILL CUT THE EGGS IN HALF.

IT'S VERY SIMPLE BUT VERY APPEALING.

I LOVE IT'S A CELEBRATION.

IT IS WITH THE COLORS.

>> IT'S FUNNY BECAUSE IT'S ALSO SOMETHING I ONLY GET TO SEE --THEY ONLY MAKE IT WHEN IT'S A SPECIAL OCCASION.

>> YOU KNOW, THIS IS A BIG DEAL.

>> I WISH I COULD HAVE A SEVEN LAYER SALAD ALL THE TIME.

>> IT WOULDN'T BE SO SPECIAL.

>> IT'S AWESOME.

DOES THIS REMIND YOU OF YOUR CHILDHOOD?

>> YEAH.

I HAVE GROWN TO LOVE SALAD.

AS A KID, I WOULD PROBABLY JUST MOVE PAST THE SALAD.

AS I GREW OLDER AND REALLY LOVED SALAD, I WAS LIKE, THERE'S NOTHING BETTER THAN A SALAD.

>> I AGREE.

THIS IS A FUN WAY TO PRESENT SALAD TO KIDS.

I HAVE TWO LITTLE KIDS.

IF THEY SAW IT IN THE BOWL WITH ALL THE COLORS, ME MIGHT BE PSYCHED.

I CAN'T GUARANTEE IT.

THEY MIGHT WANT TO EAT IT.

AWESOME.

SHOULD WE DO OUR FIRST LAYER?

MAY I HAVE THE HONORS?

>> YES, PLEASE.

>> THAT'S A HEAVY BOWL.

GET ALL THIS DELICIOUS CRUNCHY LETTUCE IN.

THIS MIGHT TAKE UP A LOT OF THE BOWL.

THAT'S LAYER ONE.

THEN IT'S TOMATOES?

>> YES.

ALL OF THEM.

>> GET THEM ALL IN THERE.

LOOK AT THAT.

I WONDER WHAT THE HISTORY OF THESE SALADS IS.

LET'S LAYER IT.

MAYBE YOUR MOM AND AUNT.

DID THEY INVENT IT?

>> NO.

I WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED IF IT WAS THE TWO SISTERS LIKE THOSE TWO.

>> SOMETIMES FAMILY STORIES HAVE DIFFERENT STORIES OF WHERE IT STARTED.

>> RIGHT.

>> IT'S SO PRETTY.

DO YOU ASSOCIATE THIS WITH A PARTICULAR HOLIDAY?

>> YOU DEFINITELY NEED TO HAVE THIS AT THANKSGIVING, CHRISTMAS.

WE LIKE TO HAVE THIS AROUND.

EASTER, WE DO EASTER DINNER AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

WE LIKE TO FIND IT.

>> THOSE ARE OUR FIRST LAYERS.

YOU HAVE THE DRESSING.

IS THERE A STRATEGY?

>> ONE THING ABOUT THIS IS, I HAVE BEEN WATCHING THEM.

IT'S BEEN A LEARNING LESSON.

THEY DON'T WANT TO SEE ANYTHING UNDERNEATH WHEN THEY -- YOU HAVE TO LOCK IT IN.

>> THAT'S A LOT OF PRESSURE.

>> THIS IS A BIG BOWL.

>> WE WILL DO OUR BEST.

IT'S STILL DELICIOUS.

>> THEY LIKE TO LOCK IT IN.

>> WE WILL COVER IT WITH ENOUGH THAT THEY WON'T KNOW.

>> DO SOME WORK HERE.

I LOVE COOKING BECAUSE IT'S ART.

>> YOU ARE RIGHT, IT IS.

MAKE IT WHAT YOU WILL.

>> I LOVE TO AKE, PERSONALLY.

>> I DO, TOO.

>> MOM, AUNT, THIS IS SEALED.

>> DO WE GO AHEAD AND -- >> THIS IS WHERE YOU ADD THE COLOR.

START WITH THE CHEESE.

SEALED WITH CHEESE.

>> I WOULD RECOMMEND IT.

>> FIRST TIME FOR ME.

A CELEBRATION SALAD.

OKAY.

PRETTY WELL COVERED.

YOU WANT TO DO THE BACON?

>> SURE.

>> IT IS PRETTY.

I'M CURIOUS, DOES IT GET TOSSED?

HOW DO YOU SERVE IT?

>> YOU HAVE TO SERVE IT WITH A GOOD OLD SPOON.

GET IN THERE.

SEE WHAT YOU CAN COME OUT WITH.

THAT'S WHY THE LAYER HAS TO BE FAIRLY COVERED AND THICK.

THAT'S THE HEART AND SOUL OF THE SALAD IS DIGGING IN AND PULL OUT THE DRESSING.

>> IT'S A RITUAL.

IT'S SO PRETTY.

DO WE NEED TO LET IT SIT?

IS IT READY -- >> I WOULD PUT THE EGGS ON THE TOP.

>> THANK YOU FOR REMINDING ME.

WALK ME THROUGH.

DO YOU DO AN ARTISTIC -- >> ABSOLUTELY.

MAYBE A NICE CIRCLE AROUND.

>> I CAN'T BELIEVE I FORGOT THE EGGS.

IT'S SO CUTE.

A LITTLE CROWN OF EGGS.

THIS IS A SHOW DLT STOPPER.

>> IF YOU HAVE TO BRING A DISH TO A PARTY, IT'S NOT A BAD IDEA.

>> YOU WANT TO IMPRESS.

LOOK AT THAT.

IT'S ART IN A BOWL.

IT'S GORGEOUS.

I'M SO GLAD I GOT TO LEARN THIS RECIPE.

SIMPLE AND FRESH AND FUN.

I LOVE IT.

BEFORE WE GO, WHAT'S SOMETHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE FOLKS TO KNOW ABOUT ALL PEOPLE ART?

>> WE ARE AN ART GALLERY FOR ARTISTS BY ARTISTS THAT WE OPERATE TO THRIVE AROUND WHATEVER THE ARTIST'S NEED IS.

ONE OF THE PROGRAMS IS WE CONNECT ARTISTS WITH MURAL WALLS AND ORGANIZATIONS THAT HAVE OPPORTUNITIES FOR ARTISTS.

WE'RE CONNECTING THEM.

WE ARE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THAT.

FOR THOSE THAT DON'T KNOW WHO WALT MILL WAS, HE WAS A SOUTH SIDE MURALIST BEFORE HIS TIME.

HE IS FUTURISTIC ARTIST.

WE DECIDED TO DEDICATE THIS TO HIS HONOR AND CARRY ON HIS LEGACY TO BEAUTIFY COLUMBUS THROUGH MURALS.

>> THAT'S WONDERFUL.

I HEAR YOU HAVE AN ANNIVERSARY.

>> WE DO.

WE ARE CELEBRATING OUR FIFTH ANNIVERSARY OF THE GALLERY BEING OPEN.

WE JUST LOVE EVERYBODY TO CHECK US OUT.

>> WE ARE GLAD YOU ARE HERE IN COMMUNITY.

WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR IT.

THANKS FOR JOINING ME TODAY.

>> THANK YOU.

>> CHECK OUT ALLPEOPLEARTS.

ORG.

SBA IS AN ARTIST WHO NOT ONLY SHARES THEIR LOVE OF THE ART CREATION PROCESS BUT HAS FOUND HEALING FOR THEMSELVES.

WE JOINED SBA IN THEIR HOME STUDIO TO TALK INSPIRATION AND THE JOY OF ART AS A COLLABORATIVE PROCESS.

♪ ♪ >> I HAVE DIFFICULTY DESCRIBING IT.

I SUPPOSE IT WOULD BE A MIXTURE OF GEOMETRIC ABSTRACT EXPRESSIONISM AND MIXED MEDIA.

FOR ME, IT'S KIND OF LIKE I'M REACHING INTO CHAOS AND TRYING TO MAKE SOME ORDER FOR MYSELF.

I THINK I HAVE THE YOU ARE NEURODIVERGENCY.

I LIKE PUTTING THINGS IN THEIR PLACES ON PAPER AND WHATEVER MEDIUM I'M WORKING ON.

IT GOT STARTED OFF A BREAKUP.

I NEEDED TO FIND A WAY TO COPE.

I WAS EXTREMELY DEPRESSED.

A LOT OF SUICIDAL IDEATION.

I KNEW I NEEDED --I WAS IN THERAPY.

WHAT'S SOMETHING THAT'S DISTRACTING FROM SOME OF THE MORE INTENSE STUFF?

WHAT'S SOMETHING YOU CAN DO TO EXPRESS YOURSELF?

A LOT OF MY PIECES ARE COLLABORATIVE.

WHETHER THEY ARE ACTUALLY PHYSICALLY CONTRIBUTING TO MY WORK, JUST TALKING ABOUT IT AND THEN WHATEVER THE THEME IS IN GENERAL IT INFLUENCES MY WORK.

IT'S DIFFICULT SOMETIMES TO TALK TO PEOPLE WITHOUT A STRUCTURED ENVIRONMENT OR PROPS.

WHEN I'M DOING ART, I CAN KIND OF DISTRACT MY ANXIETY OR JUST PUT IT -- I CAN MAYBE --MAYBE I'M CHANNELLING MY ANXIETY INTO MY ART.

THAT MAKES THE CONVERSATION KIND OF FLOW MORE NATURALLY FOR ME, OR PEOPLE MIGHT LOOK AT WHAT I'M DOING AND THAT WILL START THE PROMPTING THAT I NEED.

THEN I REALLY LIKE TO START SOMETHING AND HAND IT OFF TO SOMEONE ELSE, AND THEY ADD THEIR OWN THING.

I NEED THE MOTIVATION.

SOMETIMES I'M TOO FATIGUED TO DO ANYTHING ON MY OWN.

IF THERE'S FRIENDS AROUND, THEN I HAVE MORE ENERGY.

BEING DISABLED AND HAVING A DISABILITY, I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GO TO THE FORMER, BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE DISABILITY IS SO SYSTEMIC.

I DO HAVE VERY SERIOUS BODILY ISSUES, SPINAL STENOSIS THAT IS ABNORMAL OR ATYPICAL FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE.

SOME OF THE WAYS THAT I DEAL WITH THAT IN MY ART CAN BE LIKE SOMETIMES I CAN GET VIOLENT OR I JUST DO VERY FIDGETY IMPULSIVE THINGS.

I THINK THAT'S SOME OF MY ANGER COMING OUT.

WHEN I KEEP THAT INSIDE I GET VERY TENSE.

WORKING AT ALL PEOPLE ART, I REALLY JUST LIKE THE IDEA OF ALL PEOPLE ART.

EVERYONE IN HERE IS WELCOME, WHETHER YOU CONSIDER YOURSELF AN ARTIST OR NOT.

IT DOESN'T DEPEND ON YOUR BACKGROUND OR YOUR INCOME.

I'M TRYING TO HOPEFULLY CONTRIBUTE TO BUILDING A SPACE WHERE OTHER PEOPLE CAN ALSO MAKE IT THEIR SPACE.

IN PARTICULAR, OPEN STUDIOS AND THEN MY OWN PERSONAL FRIEND GATHERINGS.

I WANT TO STRESS THAT SO MANY PEOPLE ARE LIKE, I'M NOT AN ARTIST.

YET, THEY ARE, I LOVE DOODLING.

WELL, WITH A DO YOU HAT DO YOU THINK DOODLING IS?

I LIKE TO WRITE POETRY.

WHAT DO YOU THINK THAT IS?

THAT'S ART.

YOU ARE CREATING ART.

A LOT OF PEOPLE MAKE ART IN SO MANY DIFFERENT WAYS THAT THEY DON'T NECESSARILY GRASP OR THEY ARE TOLD THAT'S NOT ART.

I JUST LIKE TO MAKE SPACE FOR PEOPLE TO JUST DO WHATEVER IT IS THAT FEELS RIGHT WHEN THEY'RE MAKING SOMETHING.

WE CAN LEARN FROM EACH OTHER.

I SEE WHAT THEY ARE MAKING.

THIS IS ACTUALLY VERY INTERESTING.

I SEE THIS HERE.

OR WE CAN GIVE EACH OTHER FEEDBACK ON IF THEY HAVE SOMETHING AND THEY'RE LIKE, I'M NOT QUITE GETTING THE EFFECT I WANT.

HAVE YOU TRIED DOING THIS?

THAT'S THE COLLABORATION I LIKE WHEN I'M DOING ART.

SO I FINISHED A PIECE.

IT'S ONLY 12 BY 10.

IT TOOK ME THREE YEARS TO DO THAT.

I CONSTANTLY HAVE TO REMIND OTHER PEOPLE AND DEFINITELY MYSELF THAT JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT MAKING SOMETHING NOW OR IT'S BEEN A WHILE OR YOU JUST DO SOMETHING HERE AND THERE, YOU ARE STILL AN ARTIST.

IT'S NOT ABOUT THE OUTPUT OR THE PRODUCTIVITY.

IT'S ABOUT BEING IN THE MOMENT.
