How to stay motivated as an artist -- start with your identity! In the first episode of The euCreativ Show, we (Josh and Chris) discuss artistic motivation, how to become the artist you want to be, and how our experiences helped turn us into the artists we are today.

We also want to get a conversation going. Let us know what your biggest struggle or obstacle is to stay motivated as an artist in the comments!
