Let's Paint TV, or What Inspires You?


Multitasking is something I am envious of. I can do it but most of the time after I finish whatever I was doing I just have to redo it. I can't ever spend enough brain power on one thing while multitasking to feel satisfied with the outcome. But that's just me. There are people who are masters. I am extremely envious of those people. One of which is John Kilduff. This guy is the host of the Let's Paint TV. I can't express how horrible I feel about my multitasking abilities after watching Mr. Kilduff. Watching him paint, exercise, and blend a drink at the same time is emasculating. 


John Kilduff started Let's Paint as a public access show in Los Angeles. But when the public access studies shut down in 2008 that didn't stop him from doing his show. He started to do make Let's Paint out of what I can only assume is his garage or living room. It's crazy. He is a painter and sells paintings at art fairs, but does this show because he wants to. He does this show because he wants to inspire people to be creative anyway they want to be. He tries to inspire others to be creative while painting, exercising, mixing a drink, playing ping-pong, carving a pumpkin, building a castle, or just about anything else you can think of he does it while running on a treadmill and painting.


John Kilduff is just, I don't know he's hard to describe. What he's doing makes absolutely no sense, but he keeps doing it because I think he likes it. He has to. He has to enjoy this or he would have stopped years ago. When he takes calls it is obvious people think he's joking around, they think he's trying to be funny. But when he has to basically thwart a gang war on his show it is clear how much he just wants to show people there are so many different ways to express yourself.

There is no point to Let's Paint. There's no reason he needs to be doing this, he just does it because he wants to. He does it because he loves it. Hopefully in my life I can just keep doing something because I love it. I like writing on this blog and I thank John Kilduff for reminding that it's important to express yourself. It's important to do something you want to do without worry of anyone else caring. So I thank you Mr. Kilduff. I thank you for your years of Let's Paint and for your willingness to show people they can do what they want.
