“Who and what is that?”

Almost every time somebody mentions somebody or something from popular culture that they’ve seen on TV, the news, or on the internet, I have no idea what they are talking about.

Dis-ease

Modern people are sick and unwell. Because of this, modern culture is on decline. This is bad but artists can thrive amongst the ruins!

iPad Procreate Street Photography Collage

Embrace the random nature of street photography! Download Procreate on the iPad Pro, start remixing your photographs, and create new images.

How?

Click the three dots on the top center of your iPad and open up both procreate and the photos app in “split view.” Make a canvas and simply look through your recent photographs. When you hold your finger down on the photograph, you can use the AI selection to grab parts of the frame and drag it over to the canvas. The only things you really need to work with in the procreate application is the selection tool and the layers tool.

I find this to be a fun creative exercise and not something to take so seriously. Don’t think too much and try to make something under ten minutes.

STOP CONSUMING. START CREATING.

Become a creative barbarian. Stop trying to be so perfect. Let the chips fall as they may, destroy yourself, and become your authentic self.

Just share your POV.
