The only way to find your voice is to use it
Inertia is the death of creativity
Show your work, and when the right people show up, pay close attention to them, because they'll have a lot to show you.
Be boring. (Itโs the only way to get work done.)
What a good artist understands is that nothing comes from nowhere. All creative work builds on what came before. Nothing is completely original.
Don't worry about doing research. Just search.
