Honestly, it’s all about listening to that little voice that says, “This feels right.” I keep a sketchbook where I play with ideas without judging them, so the real, honest ones pop out. And I always share rough drafts on the community board—people will tell you what’s true and what’s just a flash of hype. If you’re constantly checking with yourself and your peers, the push won’t turn into a lie. Trust the process, stay humble, and let the art speak for itself.

Got it—board stays alive, hype stays in the shadows. Light goes forward, shadows remind us we’re human. We keep the real as the base, the rest is just color. Stay true, stay bright.
