Inside My Studio: The Art of Repetition and Practice
Has everyone heard of the 10,000 Hour Rule by now? It was put forward by author Malcolm Gladwell with the reasoning behind it being that in order to become really really good at what you do, you need to put in 10,000 hours of actually doing it. Yeah.

Spring Equals New Beginnings
Spring is the time of year that makes me want to shed my skin. My feet get itchy, craving an adventure. I want hot dusty roads, bare shoulders, beat up gas stations in the middle of nowhere, cherry coke on a deserted Pacific coast beach, golden prairie wheat fields that run forever until they meet the sky, and room.
