I always wish that I did but i'm always like 20 seconds too slow with that type of thing.
DO YOU BELIEVE IN HAVING “FAVORITES”? IF SO, WHAT ARE SOME OF YOURS?
Yes! We all have different experiences and having favorites makes us unique as humans and helps us define ourselves. My favorite things often change as I grow or find other things that make me feel a certain way. I love candy that has peanut butter in it though. That's always been dope. I have a green guitar that has been my favorite guitar for a few years that always makes me happy to have in my life.
WHAT CAN ART DO? Art can change peoples perspectives, it can educate people, it can be used to express how you feel when you don't have words to say what you want. Art can help people heal with trauma, it can inspire people to do things. WHAT IS THE POINT OF MAKING ART?
To define our human experience and express ideas
