Anyone here doing any cool creative shit?

Anyone vlogging or blogging or podcasting or doing porn?


(And by anyone, I mean anyone but Casey and his Prince podcast.)

I Beatbox now. I'll drop a video in the near future.

Cool man! Looking forward to seeing it.

Im not sure if you guys know, I ended up getting asked to do a Music Degree on a full ride because of the music "career," and then I segwayed that into a Communication & Media degree majoring in Film. Career has taken me away from the creative path for too long, but feeling really itch to create again.

@Jeremy I hear you're the man at photography now... How did that come about?

I always liked it, but then I got obsessed with it and learned everything I could online. All I did was watch tutorials for editing, lighting, and shooting for two years straight and it took off from there. I’m really only motivated to do it when I travel tho.

 

[Casey]

It's not a podcast my dude, it's YouTube and as I'm sure you know it's going very well

 

[Rukas]

Never seen it *shrug* But good on you. How's that YouTube money?

I dont do anything creative to make money, just for fun (although I have sold a few photographs purley by someone asking if they could buy it. I dont have a webstore or anything)

One of my favourite things apart from photography is carpentry. Ive set up a workshop in my garden with some simple tools and just do odd projects here and there. I love the smell of a workshop, takes me back to my school days

I dont have the time or patience to do vlogging etc.. too much hard work for me and it wont leave time for anything else

I do standup comedy. Nobody gets it because it's mostly jokes about unreleased 2Pac verses

Are you actually doing stand up comedy?

Yeah. No videos to show. I'm not very good, but I'm trying to get better!

Nice man. I think stand up would be one of the most nerve wracking things to do. I don't think I'd have the balls to do it.

The feeling right before you go on is intense. I know comics who have been doing it for decades and they all say the nervousness never goes away. But once you get out there it's a very good feeling

I thought you were joking!
Good for you man, must be intense but really satisfying when you nail it

The best. I called my ex a "fucking demon" onstage and got howls. Satisfying isn't even the word lol

So what do you do? Like go to open mics and stuff like that? Or you get booked for gigs. Who are some of your comedic influences?

I'm definitely an open mic guy (lowest rung on the ladder) but I'm fortunate enough to know some fairly big names through Twitter so I can get stage time in a lot of places. Stage time is often hard to come by when you're starting out. David Cross, Bill Hicks, Louis CK, Pete Holmes are my guys.

Where you based out of again? New York?
