I was told once that however much you experiment, you must also give yourself rules. This is very simple but really difficult. I think the most influential advice came from my drawing tutor Martin Morris. His classes taught me to see without over thinking, maybe the most essential thing in my work.
I work most of the time without music. My studio is next to a train station so it is never silent, but I quite like that kind of background noise. In a city there are always sounds and I find that they are as inspiring as seeing things sometimes. I like the sound of planes passing or bits of overheard conversation.
I don’t know what my favorite writer would be but my favorite book is probably Down and Out in Paris and Londonby George Orwell or For Whom the Bell Tollsby Ernest Hemingway. I really like Kafka. I like writers who can make something interesting out of moments in life when nothing is happening. Art and Instinctby Roy Oxlade is a useful book too.
