IV Jo Personal Manifesto


Personal Manifesto- Zane Tibbs


  • Live your life in the moment
  • Don't get to attached to things, learn to let go
  • Learn from your mistakes 
  • Practice doesn't make perfect, perfect practice makes perfect
  • Run towards your problems, not away from them
  • Without limitations, we are boundless
  • Look at everything from multiple different points of views
  • Enjoy the little things in life
  • Something isn't beautiful because it lasts
  • Choose the path you see yourself the most happy 

Personal Manifesto, Justin Cresswell

Personal Manifesto Rylie Muir

Find and collect things. Objects, ideas, they’re all useful. Replace the old with the new, but never forget that everything from rusty nails to brand new clothes can be repurposed. Use it all. Nothing is off limits.


Observe and listen. The wind and the waves speak if you take the time to listen. Take a break and return to the world around you. Don't stay caught up in yourself.


Let yourself be carried away by inspiration. If it’s worth spending time on now, it’ll be worth to see later. 


Remove the walls. You don’t need the roadblocks you made in high school anymore. Set a goal for self-motivated art. Get your shit together and create.


Never be finished. Don’t let dissatisfaction lead to overwhelming self-hatred, but into a determination to improve. Any artist that decides they’re “good enough” stagnates.


Play and experiment, it doesn’t matter if it’s good. It’s not bad to want to breathe. 


You’ll grow as a person every day. Your art will always grow with you. 


It doesn’t matter where, get started. In the middle of a sentence, the end of a song, or multiple steps removed from what you’re doing. Begin. 


Create for creation’s sake. Ego and self-destruction stall you. 


That inner voice that says your not good enough will always be there. Tell it to eat shit. Create what you want, create to spite yourself, create to prove that you can.


Take inspiration from others. Remember your friends and bring their styles into yours--they’ll show themselves anyway, so do it with intent and know where it came from. Styles are malleable and always influenced by those around you. Don’t impede on this process.


Use your emotions no matter what. You have plenty of them, make them useful. Don’t sacrifice yourself to a stagnate demeanor, it won’t work. 

Always repeat yourself. Draw it again, say it again, write it again. 

Don't get stuck at "Try"

Personal Manifesto


I’d hate to inform you,
but your art is unoriginal and this needs to be addressed.
Your thoughts,
your beliefs,
your sight,
your entire existence is a fabrication.
What you have been exposed to is starting to become
repetitive and destructive
to your artistic practice.
This is a fabrication you’ve grown far too oblivious to.


The shit you’re exposed to,
your ideas,
your comfortable mediums,
your consistency to a style is overused and getting old.
This is a facade you created and is now apart of you,
as you go about living with your mindless troupes.


Everything you want to be,
everything you want to see produced,
everything you have promised never to create again.
That shit is piling and rotting in the back of the fridge of your mind.
Creating an ungodly unoriginal stench,
that you, my friend,
are far too familiar with.


Those ripe and fruitful ideas are rotting in the back of your fridge too
and you're probably aware of it by now.
Due to your lazy grab toward a
compulsively processed,
poorly packaged
can of half ass.

Personal Manifesto
Eduardo Larios

  • Go for an art that is above perfect. Perfection is a comfort zone, perfection is a limit, perfection is wall. Going above perfection means you have limitless options create something new.

  • Challenge yourself, after reaching a comfort zone, don’t rush to the next objective, but proceed to see what is a difficult task for you to achieve and complete it.

  • Stay in a comfort zone for a while, but not for long. Just enough to get better at it.


  • Explore everything, be curious, and expand your mind.

  • Be always open for critiques and give real critiques, do not sugar coat anything.

  • Don’t be a conformist. Always ask for the best.

  • Have fun doing anything. 

  • Don’t rely on hope. Pull yourself up and start working hard.

Manifesto - Jaiden Kinsey

JAIDEN BROOKE COX

A Manifesto

  1. Don’t be anyone but yourself. There is no YOU out there. Being like everyone else is boring. 
  2. Boring is well… BORING! You may think you are unique or sticking out. But you try to fit in, where does that get you? Being boring. 
  3. Trust opinions and advice from the people who YOU trust and who have the best intentions for you. Some people can and will screw you over. 
  4. Social media is STUPID. Social media can be a promising idea. But for the stress that it’s worth, and the self-esteem issues it causes. It’s stupid. 
  5. GET OFF YOUR SWEATY BUTT AND DO SOMETHING. You are not gonna get anything done if you don’t move. 
  6. It’s okay to watch something while you create. Sometimes when working you may get inside your head and stress yourself out. Watching something while working will help you relax and let your mind run blank. 
  7. Don’t let yourself be compared to others. Let it ruin you and it destroys many different aspects of your life. 
  8. It could be worse. You could always be in worse situations. So buck up, it doesn’t help to wallow in your own sorrow. 
  9. FRICK negative thoughts and self-esteem issues. It doesn’t help you and you aren’t going to get any attention from it. 
  10. Take your time or someone else will!
