Do Shitty Work

As adults it's easy to define what you're good at and what you're not good at. For example, I know I am pretty good at making videos, I am not good at baking french patisserie or drawing. However, I’ve come to realize that symply defining yourself as good or bad at something has a chilling effect and prevents us from learning new skills and exploring new avenues of creativity. Because we’re “bad,” i.e. inexperienced, at something we tend to stop trying new things.

Guess what? We have to make crap work. Utter garbage. Like, a lot of it.

This is why, everyday in 2025, I made myself do one drawing a day. I can't draw. Like, I really can’t draw but I enjoyed the simplicity of pen and paper and I didn’t let myself stop, even when I knew I was making total shit.

I’m painting with watercolors for 2026, I’m really bad at that too.
