How do we achieve mindfulness? Are we doing it without thinking about it?

for this weeks retro we talk about
Extraction! Or Robert does cause Ilias hasn't seen it.

What are you allowed to draw?
Most of us draw within the borders of what is socially accepted.
But there's people that like to express themselves through violent, pornographic and other less accepted expressions.
Does that make it wrong to draw it?

Also we talk about the first superhero Ben Affleck ruined.
They also do their own stunts(for some reason).

Hey, hope you're  safe out there.
Being locked up is the perfect time to become a better artist.
Learn photoshop and whatever else you need in your artistic tool bag.

Wait what? You´re talking about talking?
Yes! Yes we are! Dont let the ghosts in your head keep you from talking and creating opportunities for yourself.
We do have hundreds and hundreds of hours of recorded material that in no way qualifies us for giving advice about anything. But maybe it´ll help one of you dudes or dudettes out there ;) thats a win for us!

Also your weekly dose of retro

Does money bring you joy or just added pressure when creating your work?

What the hell is it? Can we become happier?

and finally we talk about our all time favourite movie growing up. That shaped us as humans(for good or bad). Directed by the man himself, Kevin Smith!
