Today we are talking about working with LIMITATIONS. We often view lack of gear/tools/resources as an obstacle to our creativity when it is in fact the complete opposite. Restriction forces creativity, and in this episode we talk about why it's important to embrace restrictions as a part of your personal artist journey and how it will actually HELP YOU in your career. You don't need the latest gear to create something impactful and you don't need a ticket to Hawaii to tell your story. Stop making excuses and start embracing what making art is all about - THE STRUGGLE.
