I used to teach some drawing classes with kids

and purposely give them pencils without erasers to let them think

of like just moving forward is more important than worrying about correcting things.

My parents would take me to an art center on Saturday mornings called Boulevard Art Center

and it's there that I became obsessed with learning tools of drawing like people

and still life that I would apply throughout my week

and I couldn't wait to go back to the Art Center on the weekends

and learn a new technique and then just become obsessed with that as well.

My name is Joe Miller.

I'm from Chicago, Illinois and I'm a painter.

You like yourself in the mirror?

What if I'm trying to play music?

What am I supposed to do? Or, wait.

You?

Oh, yeah.

The drawing I did with you?

Yeah, that's okay.

Oh, that's good.

I love that.

Yeah.

I do stuff sometimes.

My parents said the art classes gave me the best babysitter

because I would just be obsessed with drawing

and learning and practicing

that all the

time my

biggest motivation and inspiration varies from project to project

and day to day these days the biggest motivation is the fact

that i get to do this for a living is pretty amazing, and I try to stay humble and remind myself of that.

During the week, there's a school that walks the kids up and down this street, and I have all this footage of a group of little kids just talking about my work,

and they're like, oh, oh, this is so cute.

It's too much.

when I'm more active and kind of energetic and go to a wall

and feel like energized by this challenge

and then the reverse can happen where I come home

and want to unwind and maybe my hands aren't feeling the best

so I need to do something that's a little easier on the body.

I try to treat every project as a case -by -case evaluation.

What is it for?

What's its purpose?

Who is it for?

What do they want to do with it or feel from it eventually?

And it's kind of nice

because it lets me enter every project with a blank slate even though it is eventually coming out of me

and my style does come through that.

I like to think that it does give me a chance to start fresh.

Describe my artistic style is difficult

but I think lately it's been much easier considering it's been dominated by this colorful dot explosion

which everybody loves and everybody wants so I just give them what they want

but before that I was really trying to grow through different projects commissions

and seeing my work take on new forms

and I thought people really enjoyed seeing my work unfold

because they didn't know where it was going to go next

so that uncertainty became like what I think excited me about working

and other people hiring me to do projects because they're like, what's he going to do with this new given parameter?

To list a few favorites, working with Charles Bradley and Daptone Records is definitely one that was more emotionally driven.

And Dad Strength featuring my older brother and my niece, which is a very passionate project of mine, is another favorite.

Oh, and Canopy Tower in Panama, that one mind blowing.

Focus on the path ahead, you know, just go for it.

Don't worry about making mistakes or being a perfectionist.

Sometimes that journey is way more exciting and even more interesting to look at than the perfect and result.

I quit my job the day I graduated and figured if I want to paint I got to only paint

and it took a long time to get to a nice rhythm

and workload but it wasn't without just going going for it and not thinking about what's behind me.

詞尾子音 — 要讀清楚，後面不要加母音: obsess /əbˈsɛs/, energize /ˈɛnəd͡ʒaɪz/, excite /ɪkˈsaɪt/, perfectionist /pɚˈfɛk.ʃənɪst/, unfold /ʌnˈfoʊld/

什麼是跟讀法？

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
