That’s the best thing this exercise has taught me over the years; it’s fun to experiment, to try out what other artists are doing, but if I only ever did that I’d be unfulfilled and dissatisfied. I’d be surrounded by a vegetarian buffet and craving steak.”

We’re representing creatives. We’re creative in our own ways. This is an opportunity for some exciting change to take shape.’”
