When I was younger,
0:04
I used to get told off in class for doodling.
0:07
I couldn't stop.
0:09
My teacher would always stop me from doing this,
0:12
and it was really worrying because as a creative person,
0:16
it's something that I do naturally.
0:20
After a few weeks at my art class,
0:22
I was booked in because I was having this trouble at school.
0:26
My teacher suggested something unusual.
0:29
There was a big empty wall in a local restaurant.
0:33
She asked them if I could draw on it.
0:35
They said yes.
0:36
So I started filling the restaurant wall with my artwork.
0:40
People would come in and watch me while they were eating.
0:43
Photos started appearing online.
0:45
Then the local newspaper wrote about it,
0:48
and suddenly,
0:49
people all around the world were talking about this kid
0:52
who couldn't stop doodling.
0:55
That moment changed my life.
0:56
I wasn't even trying to be an artist,
0:58
but the important thing is how it started.
1:02
It started with my imagination and parents who didn't disregard
1:06
but embraced my passion.
1:08
It started with the freedom to just draw.
1:11
And that's what I want to talk about today,
1:14
because the world is very different than when it was
1:17
when I was first doodling 10 years ago.
1:19
(Laughter)
1:21
Today, it's possible to type prompts into AI,
1:24
make anything and feel creative.
1:27
But I believe there will always be value
1:29
in letting our imaginations be the true driver of our creations.
1:34
Because imagination is like a muscle.
1:36
The more you use it, the stronger it becomes.
1:39
But if you don't use it,
1:40
it gets weaker and your body will rely on something else to do it for you.
1:45
Creativity is not encouraged today.
1:47
It's not given value,
1:48
so it's easy to turn to the tools right in front of us
1:52
and get an instant result.
1:54
But you don't learn by going straight to the end.
1:56
You learn from the journey.
1:58
Everything begins with a thought, an idea, a meaning or a vision.
2:03
That's your imagination.
2:04
The beginning.
2:06
And that beginning influences what you do from that point.
2:09
It's freedom.
2:10
Imagination is the first step,
2:12
and direction flows through the creation.
2:15
You're letting yourself literally wander wherever you wish.
2:18
The freedom to go anywhere.
2:21
Because that first step is coming from you
2:23
and not something else.
2:25
What I can see is we'll be reliant to replace something
2:29
we all need and all have.
2:31
We'll be handing it off just because it's easier.
2:35
And that worries me
2:36
because for everyone growing up around AI,
2:38
they'll see it as normal to sacrifice their unique perspective,
2:42
becoming more and more shaped,
2:44
even defined, by what they can't control.
2:47
I'm just going to show you something visually now.
2:52
I often start my artworks with a simple shape.
2:58
I'm thinking something spiky here.
3:08
And then big eye, like this.
3:15
Then I'll add some other detail.
3:18
Often when I'm creating in the moment,
3:21
it helps me feel very free,
3:24
so I can just flow with each character and each line.
3:29
In New York, as I've traveled,
3:32
I've seen lots of people on skateboards,
3:35
so I'm going to draw one of them.
3:50
Then I'll add the wheels in there.
4:04
Then I often like to add icons, like a heart.
4:10
I feel like it's very simple but very effective.
4:12
And then I love these kind of eyes,
4:16
like an alien, like that.
4:19
Then I'll keep this going.
4:21
The arms.
4:25
And then the legs as well.
4:35
And with this character, I'll just start with another simple shape.
4:45
Like so, filling this.
4:48
This guy's not very happy.
4:50
(Laughter)
4:53
And then what I like to do to balance an artwork,
4:57
just add lines and shapes
5:02
to just fill out the space.
5:14
And movement lines, which give life to a piece.
5:19
Something I always use.
5:55
(Applause)
6:02
I hope we can all take a step back from AI
6:04
and embrace what makes us truly unique,
6:07
our ability to convert figments of our imaginations
6:11
and turn them into impactful realities.
6:14
We face this choice every day.
6:16
So let's embrace this uniqueness, this imagination,
6:21
and the creativity that brings us all together.
6:23
Thank you.
6:24
(Applause and cheers)
