HOWHY is a little venture I came up with while spending an exorbitant amount of time looking at artist's sites (this includes both artists and designers), instead of working on my own stuff.
I was and still am, constantly looking for inspiration from other artist and while doing so, I ask myself, why? Why do I try to paint (for instance) when it causes so much anxiety and doesn't feel natural-yet feel like I have to do it.
How do these artist who I admire, turn out such great work on a "regular" basis? How are they motivated?!
I want to ask you the simple question: Why? Why do you do what you do? Why do spend your time, painstakingly creating art?
These are your answers.

“I ask myself the same question all the time, and I’m often inclined to think there is some bigger picture as to why we are compelled to create art. I entertain many different ideas, from it being some byproduct of our evolution, or perhaps creating art is filling some gaps in our communication within our societies. Maybe creating art is channelling ideas from some divine source or other beings, or maybe I just really feel a need to communicate on a level that I can’t any other way. But really, in the end, I have no fuckin’ clue. I’m not sure why I have this drive, but when I listen to myself, to what it is that I really want to do with my life, creating art is the most honest answer.”
