Inspiring Quote

"Just Do It" by Nike

For a long time I have been using this quote to keep me pushing. I feel like as a artist, I have tendencies to be a perfectionist when it comes to certain things, but this quote always pushes me to just do it, as things can only start moving once you just do it.

Q&A

What is something you know a lot about that has no connection to your creative practice?

Music samples! I love music with my heart, most specifically with Soul and R&B music. I do a lot of digging for and playing older music while I am working on projects, so a lot of the time I can hear certain samples being used in modern songs.
