We recently caught up with SuperSweatyFish after High Art 2022 to learn more about his most recent inspirations:
-
Where do you find your creative inspiration?
When I stay still in a quiet room. With no distractions, no music, no phone, my mind just fills with so many thoughts and imagination. I use some of those for inspiration for my next project. I believe everyone is capable of this thought process but people don't let their brain have a quiet moment to even try.
Another way is having a goal like the high art competitions. Gives me something to look forward.
