I’ve been looking at your blog a lot to prepare myself for this interview.  You made a little video of your hat full of paper scraps with words on them, could you talk about that?  I have a similar thing to help motivate me, and I’m fascinated by little tools artists use to give them ideas and direction.

Sometimes I need a little hat raffle to tell me what to do. Sometimes I do coin tosses too. Lately I’ve been asking the tarot deck. I’m not sure what really gets me going, but I know taking a nap or going on a walk usually helps. I’ve usually got a ton of ideas but sometimes ideas feel like they are holding me back, like I should just be impulsively acting and never stopping. It’s been hard for me when people ask me to do certain things like for example to do a puppet show, then I’d rather play the piano, but if someone asked me to play the piano I would probably hide out inside the piano and draw a picture. There’s a few things to work on, saying yes to more people then jumping into the work, and also being okay with doing whatever I feel like doing.
