The keyword in this quote is collaboration, but not with an individual or group of individuals, but with craft, technique, discipline, time, and resources. One word I would add is research.

Process

Inspiration is the intuition, something that comes from the subconscious mind. Structure is the conscious part, the part that is of this world. Both are necessary, in equal measure.

Thought individuals would like to see how I am filling my time. Yes, colored pencils, but I found the wax build-up was a problem. I found my way around that, but I feel the line and textures underpin all that I do.
My students often heard me speak about how vital thumbnails are in creating and planning. Well, I do take my advice.
I still like the idea of working small. Most of everything I am doing are no bigger than 5″x 5”
