I think one of the biggest myths about creativity is that it's all about making art. In reality, creativity is about the process and everything we learn while trying to make something new, no matter what the final product looks like. Creativity is a way to share a message we truly care about that otherwise may not have been heard. Creativity is a form of illuminating what’s important that gets easily looked over or forgotten.

@nikkolas_smith is an Artivist, children's book author, a Hollywood film illustrator. Here’s a little bit of what he shared me about his approach to art:
