I feel like I have to churn it out if ever attempt anything creative, I think people who react to art/get inspired to do their own - do their best work instinctively, it feels purer.

A girl at school would draw pictures inside bday/xmas cards and I've kept them ever since. The only other artistic thing I own is a blanket my mother embroidered which is just the most beautiful thing I love it to pieces.

I remember seeing the mugs you painted for CS people and when I see your username I remember you as The Painter so that's why I asked ^_^
