This week I share some ways that Instagram, despite the amount of opportunities and inspiration it provides, actually becomes a hindrance to creating after spending a lot of time on it. I'm always searching for inspiration and new ideas, and Instagram is one of the easiest places to find it for visual art. But oftentimes it has the opposite effect on me, for reasons that in many ways correspond to how it makes you feel bad about your life. Welcome to my channel! Aside from my films, I post weekly videos about life an emerging artist, in the hopes that the things I'm learning and doing will be helpful to you on your own journey, either as an artist or a person who wants to live a more creative and fulfilling life.
