5, 8, 10, 24, 38, 48

5. what’s the last album you listened to?

Believe Nothing by Hawg Jaw! 90s sludge metal sounding type stuff :)

8. if you could choose one language to instantly be fluent in, which one would you pick?

aside from spanish which i am somewhat fluent in (beside english), for practical reasons, probably Vietnamese! and just for the hell of it, Irish Gaelic

10. what was your dream job as a child and is it anything like your current job?

i dont really recall if my dream job as a kid was any different from my dream job now (an artist). the area of art i want to be in has definitely changed through the years though... as for my current job, its at a certain hardware store, so, pretty different lol. i do use my knowledge of art (mostly color theory tbh) to help customers decide on which products to get though so, there is that!

24. do you collect anything unusual?

mmm not really? i've always wanted to collect animal bones and like. older firearms (like those 1800s revolvers) and other weaponry though (mostly blades). i just dont have the space. the weirdest things at this point is probably junk mail and receipts lol

38. what’s your favourite big cat species?

probably tigers! it was cheetahs as a kid though. i still have a soft spot for them

48. if you could pick one craft to instantly be good at, which one would it be?

metalworking or woodworking would be so cool, leaning more toward metalworking tho

At the Royal College of Music, they say that when you go out on stage as a student, you must have practised so much that your best performance is good enough. But when you go out there as a professional, your worst performance must be good enough. That involves going far beyond the point at which you think you have perfected what you’re going to play. You must be able to rely on your skills whatever happens, even if you’re terrified or insecure, or things go unexpectedly wrong. The textbooks refer to this as ‘over-learning’. You have to be able to perform under all circumstances, but especially when you have additional challenges. You must be able to carve, cut or sew not only when your materials and tools are compliant and of high quality, but also when there are flaws in the stone or wood, or your instruments are blunt or missing. You must be able to perform when your body is below par; when you’re tired, unwell, stressed or anxious. You have to know what it feels like to be at or beyond the edge of what you are used to – or what you, your materials and the situation will tolerate without falling apart. You have to satisfy the audience, regardless of how you are feeling.

Background was not drawn by me! I got it from the Lego monkie Background WIKI. I suspect that Kate Kneebone drew it since she's the of most of season 2 and all of season 3's background art.

Below is the base I used and the background

Okay. Gale of Waterdeep may be many things - a powerful wizard, a fount of knowledge, a dab hand at embroidery.

We can all become expert at something, though we probably can’t become really expert in more than one or two areas. To become an expert you have to concentrate on your selected field, pushing distractions aside and focusing intently for year after year. It’s a long, demanding process that takes great effort, and there’s a lot of frustration along the way. This sounds obvious, but it’s something people often overlook. We live in a world that demands immediate results. We are also taught to believe that talent is innate, and that if you don’t show flair for something, it isn’t worth pursuing. I don’t think either of those things is true. Moving along the path towards becoming expert brings its own rewards: the slow march towards mastery is deeply satisfying – and, as we’ll discover, it meets a fundamental human need. Besides which, you won’t find out how talented you are until you try.
