I have a few weeks off work and I am trying to work on creative projects as much as possible. On a slow/uninspired/low-confidence day I think I feel a relative of this pain. That Donald Sutherland GIF is _amazing_.
My moment of “Wait, you can do this?!?” was in 1986 seeing Bobby McFerrin performing solo with just a microphone. I’d been working as a dancer, mime and sing/playing with my voice. To see him improvising and singing music, sounds, voices was so simple , so human. So, I kept on creating Human Jazz…. - keep on keeping on, sister!
Nope but I want to find her books now. I instantly went to Instagram to look at her work too.
Do you have any personal experiences of feeling like a future wasn’t possible until you saw yourself represented in the field?
Not really but I hear you. I just started doing concert photography and its mostly cool looking tattooed folx and old white men and then there’s me - middle aged basic looking mom. @iammoustache is an amazing person and photographer and they were definitely an inspiration to just go for it
What was your gateway comic book?
I grew up with all the French BD - Lucky Luke was my favourite, Asterix & Obelix, Tin Tin
Or any art that opened your mind to an entire new medium!
I always love discovering new art and artists and as much as everyone loves to hate social media I find so many connections and artists on Instagram from what/who others share.

^I found Bobby McFerrin on YouTube and thoroughly enjoyed his music and replied to your comment with more detail here.
Were you familiar with Julia’s work before?
Nope but I want to find her books now. I instantly went to Instagram to look at her work too.

Inspiration is like farts, it comes from your butt.
NANNYYYYYY
I try to work on being still but there are so many shiny things in here.
Being still is truly THE HARDEST life task.
Someday I hope to master this insurmountable obstacle.
So true!
Thank you, Diego!!!
