Taste is a muscle, and in the comfort blanket of the internet and algorithms,
10
mine has become that half of a digestive you accidentally drop into your tea.
11
So, it was time to start collecting.
12
And this is where you've got to be picky and focus on the rare things that really make you stop.
13
The things that led you into a spiral of investigation, that piece of art that you spend the next hour researching who the artist is, the inspiration, the subject, the type of paint,
14
the film you watch that you still think about a month, a year later, the one that visually blew your fucking mind away.
15
those are the pieces of art and inspiration that you collect.
16
So you end up with a rare, tight -knit collection of things that remind you of why you started.

34
when you're actually creating with a purpose and not just because it looks cool.
35
Then it's time to experiment.
36

Making something that means something to you.

52
Whatever it is, I find myself drawn to these weird little characters who are off in their own little weird worlds, thanks to the soothing little death machine we like to call cigarettes.
53
And I find myself constantly drawing these odd balls out of proportion, mainly with tiny heads and massive hands.
54
I'm not sure why, but I couldn't quite find that one character to make a big piece of.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
