A journey through the mind of an artist | Dustin Yellin

[@RustyFiReWorKs]

The detail in his works are mesmerizing.

[@Melisbloodysaweome]

indeed

[@avedic]

Jesus...that triptych is fascinating. I'd love to just see it in person and have several good hours to just stare at every detail. Some good sativa wouldn't hurt either. Beautiful artwork...very inspiring to my own art; definitely have a lot to consider now.

[@individous2833]

I´ve had some trippy feeling when i saw his works, like a deep sensation of clarity.

[@juliaeve]

Being an artist means you never stop thinking. Your brain never essentially shuts down enough to give you a break and although this could be wonderful for coming up with new ideas and being extremely innovative in your craft; it makes life so much harder than it needs to be. Just imagine living in a constant state of complexity like that... that's what it's like to be an artist, you're always thinking, always creating...

[@ziraprod6090]

I think this is true.... however, now days even idiots, craftsmen, and plagiarizers, are called artists.

[@lifeseek2530]

everyone does think but what's really important is what kind of thinking you do I guess.

[@83uwb]

I don't think it has anything to do with the fact you're an artist, of course everything has its negative side to it, even something you love doing. But when it starts to make your life harder, then something else is probably going wrong.

[@apollo2885]

Word

[@amodernpoet]

always thinking and constantly daydreaming yes. so true.

[@letsgoiowa]

Art is wonderful. You will never find a more pure expression of the human mind.

[@Miranox2]

+letsgoiowa The word "art" is meaningless. You could take a urinal, put it in a museum, call it art and no one could prove you wrong. When everything can be called art, then the word has no meaning.

[@logictruth1]

+Miranox more like when people forget to recognize art, it loses its meaning. Art is the highest and purest form of communication humans can perform and it saddens me that so many people do not understand it or its purpose.

[@LyzLyzard]

+Miranox art is subjective

[@logictruth1]

starberry2947 Art is far from subjective. Either something is artistic or it isn't. Taste is subjective. You can recognize art without particularly liking it.

[@LyzLyzard]

wtf Yeah it is

[@LilChuunosuke]

This is what I love about being an artist. The things that go on in our heads...some are amazing, others are really *really* stupid. But put our favorite art tools in our hands and give us a canvas and we will make you find our stupid ideas beautiful. The imagery in his pictures are amazing. I can just imagine them all swirling around, moving, changing, and growing in his mind and he just needed to sketch it all out before it became too big and beautiful to contain all in his head alone.

[@NihongoWakannai]

yeah, it's a shame it's so hard to make a living doing inspired and expressive art.

[@LilChuunosuke]

Jozzarozzer Yup. You would have to draw what everyone else wants for years before you are finally able to make money drawing what you want.

[@Sam-tf9ip]

Have I seen you around before? You seem really cool. Weren't you the one with friend who you flirt with and she cuddles you but hangs out with other women?

[@LilChuunosuke]

Mhappiwis Yes, that was me. XD KZbin is my unhealthy obsession, its hard for me to go a day without watching a video.

[@Sam-tf9ip]

Phantomhive Okay cool, If I ever see you again I'm going to comment, "coward cake"

[@kaleighann813]

were all gonna die real soon * standing ovation *

[@mayblok]

Kaleigh it was the way he said it (maybe like a kid that knows where his mom hid the candy) that made me smile

[@kaleighann813]

I loved the way he exclaimed one of life's heaviest realities (death) as a beautiful form of inspiration. :) brilliant!

[@hiturana3290]

His last words really reminded me of one of Guru Pathik's quotes from Avatar:The Last Airbender:"The greatest illusion of this world is the illusion of seperation.Things you think are seperate and different are actually one and the same.We are all one people,but live as if divided."

[@aimia100]

Oh, the nostalgia that show gives me! :')

[@sclogse1]

We are divided.

[@rmy580]

wow ... this comment gave me goosebumps!

[@Upperhorny]

hitu rana a show to show your kids

[@FUCKINMETALROCKS]

when did Goku say that?

[@gypsyart1125]

First impressions... there is a random abandon in this artist's work and a random abandon in the way he presented this Ted Talk. And yet... there is a methodical layering of little elements, little bits of life, meaning, contemplation, understanding, imagery, expression, etc, that creates a cohesive whole in the art and in the Talk. I think the randomness, the abandon, the methodical layering, all of it, speaks volumes about his process. You just have to peel back the layers in your process of discovery regarding this Talk just as the artist lays down the layers of imagery in his work. He speaks the same way as he creates, through layers. I see pockets of comments here that speaks to "not learning much" from this talk, of it looking "like a commercial" for this artists work............ There is so much more here than meets the eye and or the ear. So stop, look, and listen :) Everything you need to glean from this Ted Talk is there for you to discover. This presentation is deeper than you think............ just look and listen for it.

[@pumziletracywilbon7963]

Regina Perry I enjoyed the talk, but reading this made me realise that I barely scratched the surface of its depth while watching. Thank you, Regina -- I'll be watching it mindfully the second time. :)

[@chickennugget6233]

I feel like that is the basis of almost any interaction we encounter conscious or not. I totally agree. Maybe you need to be a little "crazy" to see it.

[@avedic]

I think THIS GUY IS AHEAD OF OUR TIME. All jokes aside this man's artwork is breathtaking! So beautiful in so many ways, can't even describe it with words😍😍😍

[@user-xh6ju3pg8c]

Bruh he is not agreed of time Our tone is great Our time is great Our time is great

[@TheTNPfilms]

I have an undying respect for any creative that has the drive to create with such an individualistic and unique approach, regardless what he or she may be able to teach in a 7 minute segment. Incredibly engaging works of art, I would kill to make a film with this man!

[@abbier0018]

the best thing about being an artist is the ability to make ‘ugly’ things beautiful

[@TheEtherny]

Wow, I thought I was watching just another artist but his last words are very wise.

[@clarianken4223]

it's sweet, isn't it?

[@nialler3296]

[@Jake-li4hl]

I feel like the term "Artist"is very broad. I'm a Creative Writing student and henceforth write frequently. I consider myself to be an artist of sorts or at least artistic in my work. Be interesting to see what other people think about my theory. An artist is not only someone with a paintbrush. It's when someone is given a blank canvas (I mean that in the both literal and metaphorical sense of the word) and creates something with it.

[@lindamarialal]

Anyone who creates....is an artist

[@WTFooLL]

You just discovered that? By the way, it's called a writer and when you write a text you become the author of this text. Same with a kid drawing on a piece of paper, the kid becomes the author. The word "artist" have many different perceptions to it, that's all there is to know. Nothing overly philosophical.

[@DaanDoesDis]

I like your view, before I start, I think everyone has his own opinion on what art is, and that those opinions together define the term "art" so here comes my opinion on the definition of art: art is when an idea becomes an image. When an artist made a visual translation of his idea

[@DaanDoesDis]

+Nieuwe Buurjongen so in that sense is a lot of written works are defenitely art

[@omninuss6847]

Music ist visual tho? are you saying its not an art form? I think what you meant is taking an idea out of your brain and realizing it, thats definitely art :P

[@erintalia9490]

I could listen to this man speak all day!!

[@dhitisingh9441]

This guy.. is a genius! The tiny details in his work are just downright awesome

[@Cantbebotheredbyyouanymore]

I don’t think most people see the world the way artists do. I can’t imagine seeing the world differently from what I do, but the older I’ve gotten the more I’ve realized that other people don’t really see or feel the same way I do. It’s weird and kind of indescribable to people who don’t experience it but I think artists see and feel the world a little more than normal people do

[@EqualsThreeable]

Think inside the box.

[@spiritfired]

Even as a non art enthusiast, this, THESE PIECES, are GOLD.

[@benjaminwilde152]

Weirdly awesome guy! Love his work and his unconventional perspective of the World.

[@benjaminwilde152]

+bmw2go11 Well, I think that the lesbian thing makes him even more interesting.

[@badboysevin88]

I could stare at his art for ages!! So much to discover in the details.. :)

[@PaintDanceLive]

I adore an artist who makes art that tells the story of where us humans are at! (and not just about trying to appeal to collectors like many artists I happen to know) I really dig that female figure emerging from the Ocean with all the trash and oil, obviously Mother Nature; although he kept his talk on the D.L. Tipping Point statement heard loud and clear!

[@HiAdrian]

Very cool artwork, especially the humanoid figures.

[@PlatformForArtists]

hey you have good content , subscribe to my channel and i will subscribe you

[@CampingforCool41]

Amazing artwork...I can't even imagine how he plans for these projects.

[@poproxx8467]

Strange coincidence. I've layered glass, and wanted to experiment with epoxy resin with spray paint, and other mixed media for years. This artist has the right idea. Very appreciated.

[@fern8168]

The start is wonderful. "I was raised by lesbians in the mountains" I want my child to tell people that one day.

[@victoriadaniels4831]

his work is amazing, don't usually understand modern art but this is real good and detailed

[@Exotixa]

His art is something amazing, I haven't seen anything like it before.

[@diegoambrosio]

(...) "we are all in this together that this dellusion of difference, this idea of countries, ths idea of borders, of religion... Doesn't work. Like we are all really made up of the same stuff in the same box. And if we don't start exchanging that stuff sweetly and nicely, we are all gonna die real soon." - May politicians learn this. - May art change the world. Appreciation to you, Dustin.

[@renzo6490]

Diego Ambrosio ...Humanity is my tribe!

[@RDVWSheena]

[@aminmansouri2733]

I had never heard most of his ideas and his perspective toward life in my entire life! It was new to me! Bravo

[@just1fix2004]

Great stuff, I love art that you can look at multiple times and still discover new things. I sold a piece called Separation, where there was a crying girl in the foreground with a river behind her crossing from left to right with a tree with no leaves in the background. Three mouths later he says to me you hid a male form in the branches of the tree it makes way more sense now, I just laughed.

[@bRealBlknsexi]

This piece of art sounds beautiful and mentally stimulating just from the description! I just sat here trying to picture it, then picture the realization of the hidden male form and the light bulb coming on like OOOOOooo! I love art that is kinda like optical illusions to eye

[@bRealBlknsexi]

This is one of the BEST ted talks I've ever seen💜. I loved that guy! Artistic, original, funny, and just chill🤗 #Artlife

[@BBsLIFE]

Mr. Yellin, as I started listening to you share your stand up and I found it intriguing, along with very interesting. You have a unique style about yourself and how you share your story. The combination of art through science, chemicals, and how you share your take on the world through art is amazing. I wish you the best in your future and landing all your goals. God Bless You!

[@ElumKhan8]

Loved what he said in the end! I think it was just the way he said it. Exchange ideas, have conversations, have contradictions as well but do it sweetly, nicely so that we can cherish not just the highs, but the lows as well. That is what's gonna complete life. We all the same and in this together.

[@whitetiptailhummingbird9969]

Damn!!!! Dustin's work is sic!!!! Awesome stuff!! And extremely valid ending point!!

[@evelanpatton]

I can see I’m not the only one with an idea of putting artists to-gather/together to express, like an excellent college seminar of prepared foundational dialogue, impressions & transmutations of ideas & potential production expansions beyond hyper-media idolatry or cultic religious regurgitation, so that we as humans can feel our inner-connectedness to all matter & therefore & thereby end our egotic suicide of masses of matter for any individual motivation; biomimicry is science & nature working eco-sustainably forward in a future that can exist without limitations once we get over the limitations of imbalanced, prejudiced energetic access through monetary limitation of exchange. We have the knowledge & the tools in this time space to create, cradle to cradle, sustainable future resourcing, let’s BE THIS NOW. Build each other up & expand through joy & love & play & imagination....one glass layer to our fullest boxed dimension at a time.

Art is only as good as it serves knowledge and progress. One does not need be controversial to be unique. Before one raises an argument, one should actually have knowledge of the argument, otherwise it serves him right to be deemed a fool, for through art, we perceive the mind of the communicator, his greatness or foolishness thus revealed.
