I’m intrigued about the bit where he talks about seeing things he likes. Looking at them, drawing up examples then putting them away. Then next day he redraws it from memory; of course it’s slightly different which means it’s original yet taken from something that inspired him. Yet you also get to add your tint on it.

Also love the bit where he talks about the teamwork and how great work is not the creation of a lone person – even it was, that person would’ve asked a lot of people what they thought of it before releasing it. I totally agree.
