taking my camera with me everywhere I go, taking photographs often, making things, learning new ways to make things, painting, photography, art, photoshop, comic books, cartoons, personally relevant medical research, brain workings, figuring out how to make money at being an artist
People. People to collaborate with. People who know how to do things. People who make me want to do better. People who want me to be better. People who are better. People who know better. People who will strip naked for me if I need to practice figure drawing. People who aren't afraid yet. People to trade help with. People to teach and learn with.
Oh, and space aliens.
