Expect Nothing, Receive Everything | Lets Cook Ep. 9

[@louhawk559]

Great work young blood. I didn't do any ART till I was 56 now 62. A retired trucker because of a cardiac arrest.. then picked it up..I liked they way it made me feel and still at it. Hoarding my work Giving some away..

[@BYCMP]

@@louhawk559 Yessir! That’s what it’s all about

[@gisaac46]

My fellow artist, I love your fearlessness and aggression in your art. I love it. I'm 64 and my medium is mainly colored pencils and alcohol markers. I might send you a copy of my work just so you can see my style of drawing. I'm going on your site and purchase something soon. Peace, from "Lefty can Draw"

"Art without meaning is just decoration. The art is in the idea." -Rick Rubin

[@alvinviklund]

”If only we could remove the brain and only use our eyes.” - Pablo Picasso

[@M8E1]

Meaning is subjective. Paintings don't come with essays on how to feel and think about it. Ideas are great. Expression is great. Both worlds coexist

[@dicesecid23]

Let’s not live in quotes if you can make art that is visually/audibly pleasing it masters the formula of getting the idea across, practise makes progress

[@IAmRashadHoward]

@@dicesecid23very well stated

This shit is so calming and satisfying at the Same time , his studio fire asf , cool ass backdrop with a tv and music playing , HES IN HIS ELEMENT

[@Eryykc]

I’ve learned to let go of creative expectations, to let myself create and have fun with the process. The second I compare my work to someone else I lose sight of the point of creativity. Love your videos, thank you for sharing your creativity and what you learn along the way.

[@Diisycornerr]

So true

[@KnottedVision]

🔥🔥creating without expectations is how i break my creative blocks. Stress released fun reintroduced art always turns out to be my favorite pieces

[@BYCMP]

@@KnottedVision 🎯

[@stickynation7046]

That’s the best feeling being able to create without judgment, even judgment of yourself

[@Chantal3laine]

This is the first of your videos I’ve ever seen and couldn’t be happier to hear this message today. Thanks.

[@NEUDOGG]

boy im an art student currently studying and im writing an essay right now about working class or outsider artists. you are my proof that any of us can do this, it all is about not giving uo and being inspired; you're an inspiration

[@FoolintheRainSDMF]

When he said,"you may be looking at your own shit, like ok.... what the fcks goin onnnn?!?! 😳." FACTS on many levels. This is a good channel and that abstract on a whim is way more cool. If Warhol could paint a can of soup and make millions we can all get with it! We believe whatever we tell ourselves. So long as we make it good then the other people will be forced to be good with us and if they arent, itll still be all good. People only buy things like Luis Vuitton cause society said to and it all looks the same. I prefer stuff that's wild not like everyone elses. Keep at it.

[@matayeoh]

I don’t know how you ended up on my page but glad it happened. I’ve been stressing out about starting my own business making shirts and doing my own thing. This helped me right now! Just sat down to try and come up with a couple things to print and was looking for music and the title of you video seemed almost too perfect for the moment I just had to watch. Blessings man and thank you the message through out the video has helped immensely.

[@prodjupiter]

This applies to any form of art really. Sometimes the best results happen without you thinking about what you are doing.

[@user-ys6tf5nh6r]

when I was high I realized that “go with the flow” yk just let your body do let your hand do the canvas is exactly FREE you can draw, paint whatever you want and then you can see your patterns or your style as you keep it going don’t judge if you think it’s not perfect yk not perfect is a part of perfect ☯️ but you can still pursue your perfect ideals cuz that is also your style just put your energy in it and make your one and only 🫶 be free and feel it :))))

[@TayloryvStudio]

I hear what you are saying about art classes but mann I would not be the artist I am without the support and guidance from my art teachers, from elementary all the way until college! I guess the key is having those art teachers that support your ideas and freedom as an artist, its a precious thing and hard to come by.

[@zwelihlendlovu]

the level of wisdom in your videos is understated! both your art and mindset are phenomenal ✨✨

[@SuperBriaunna]

So true! That’s my take on art! No boundaries and no grid!

[@oldyoutube4703]

This is the “jazz” of art and I’m here for it

[@Its.juniper]

I just found you now and your vibes are immaculate. It's so easy today to get stuck in a negativity cycle on social media and ti his video was a breath of fresh air for me. You're inspiring me. I'm currently watching as I'm drawing :)

[@jajasmike7818]

This video hit my explore page at the perfect time. You were speaking to the creative inside me! The challenges that come but pushing through is what's important. You work is beautiful I'll be diving into more! Keep creating Micah.

I already have a SketchBook designated for David Choe so now I'm going to have one designated for Micah!

[@holy_triinity]

OMG me too 😂✨💗

[@fragr33f74]

Bro, thank you so much for this video. Genuinely one of my favourite videos on KZbin. I don't paint, but write, and so much of what you said resonated with me so deeply. I've been so in my head with expectations on my work, how it should fit within certain tropes, and all that kinda BS. So much so that I kinda killed the joy of creating something. Thank you for this video and reminder of why we engage in creative acts.

[@thatssomoet]

I'm currently in art school for design and I can definitely agree on how expectations can get in the way of true self expression but I also love the community aspect art school brings. For me, it is a balance of community and creating freely. Your perspective is on point.

[@puccilisenbee7433]

Man you are so inspiring! I pull out my brushes and started painting..thank you!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🫶🏾🤎✊🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@randomtinypotatocried]

The perfect video to stumble upon when working on this painting I have no clue what I'm doing with

[@benediktwildoer8384]

I love your calm soothing vibes. From your process, to what you are painting, to your general demeanor, to your voice, to the background music. Just great to calm the mind

[@tristanNC]

DAMN my alg blessed me today. Keep creating man, love it.

[@maxwellnorth]

"Trust Yourself" 👏👏👏Appreciate your art, appreciate your words!

[@tskiduvillage]

"art is just an expression of the soul": thank you

[@Bfsti]

I agree. I needed to be reminded of this. I appreciate that you have this mindset. It’s more of an experiment this way. Who knows what gonna happen?

[@feyoug]

knowledge that was dropped 🏆

[@Mohannad-f6v]

you amazing bro, what you saying about art in this video is also how you should do in life. just do what you feel without considering people's expectations.

[@haidetb2520]

So happy I found this challenge ❤ didn’t expect an amazing lesson in resilience and the joys of learning and making mistakes with art

[@soundofsky]

Thank you for sharing your wisdom and insight with everyone. 🙏🏾

[@JabbaDahut-cv9up]

Fellow artist here, please take care of your lungs. Wear a respirator or at least a simple mask when using spray paint especially indoors.

[@corymoles8461]

It’s great how free your work is, love the style ! For your comments on art school , I took many art classes all the way from my youth and college, more than the lessons I received from school was the energy I got from working with other artists . A special energy and certain pressure to produce work that made me better by practice. I agree the school wasn’t necessary especially if you can find a good community of artists to work with. Keep it up bro!

[@kmep3649]

No expectations on the output, let it flow from the heart & Soul❤ Love this content

[@fwayo]

This got recommended to me right when I was struggling for inspiration and was looking for a channel like this but couldn’t find any, and I’m so happy it did, because I’ve been binging all the videos up to this point since and it’s been great. Keep it up man!

[@dormaettu302]

You're so confident, it's really inspiring. Keep going.

[@ghost-cat420]

figure drawing i like bc it’s a space to create with others without judgement, there’s no teacher just a model and people drawing/painting minding their business. i feel the same way about classes and critiques, figure drawing makes me feel like i have community without having ppl rip apart what i’m doing

[@lmoney420]

Your videos and art inspire me. I’m a dope drawer with pencil, pen, and marker, I have paints but never got into them yet but you make me feel like I’m in the zone and ready to jump into paints.

[@1justro]

I respect the vibe you create.

[@kayuntaeming9437]

Absolutely love this piece and the process. The video was super timely. Thanks Micah!

[@Nitrologies]

Somewhere along the lines of my journey I lost focus on the important side of creation and often compared myself to the next person but then I realized that creation is a reflection of my own ideas and beliefs that cant be replicated, I have to remember that falling in love with the process is a part of the journey and the possibilities is the what makes the journey worth-while. Set your own standards and create for you! Thank you for this homie, I needed this kick in the butt desperately.

[@NTD2827]

When you cut and there was all that green on the canvas, I smiled

[@E2evolutionTV]

First video. Great vibe, powerful message, dope work! Keep Cookin' 💯

[@deanwilliams840]

Thank you for sharing this with the world! So much wisdom in what you're saying and doing! Glad I found your channel, keep being you! 🫶

im so glad i came across this video. your words are poignant and watching the painting come together was so satisfying. keep it going

[@malaydice7095]

The positivity I need in my life ❤

[@callmeastro2566]

The first part was intellectually interesting and showed "skill" but the last piece shows heart. I like the heart much better.

[@ssoundwaves]

Yes, chef... let's cook! Let this be a reminder for everyone to get off the couch and in the kitchen (studio).

“Lucki to the sade” , love this. I’m a fan off the first vid I’ve seen

So I came across this typing in live painting. Then when that didn't work I typed black creatives, anyway somehow I ended up here the vibe I was looking for. Good music a painting partner with an authentic chilled vibe. Love it keep it coming 🫶

[@autumnstoptwo]

your process reminds me of basquiat as well as black bean CMS on KZbin. i feel like you'd fw their art too. great work today and congrats on your new studio and growth 🎉🤩

[@malaydice7095]

Great mind & soul ❤ love peace unity

[@breakfastclosed]

I’ve been thinking about the Buddhist story “the glass is already broken,” and thinking “the painting is already ruined” as soon as I start, and especially when I start to feel a little timid toward working in. It’s very relieving and eliminates expectations. 🎉

[@mushroomspook4275]

I’m happy I’m not the only one who just goes at the art with no plan whatsoever

[@AidenNissen]

I love your philosophy. Keep being you.

[@najahellington867]

This is super dope bro, it's cool to see what our brains our capable of once we release them from any norms or boundaries surrounding art and creation. Keep inspiring man
