Introduction to Squirrel Math: Art is Nuts
“Squirrels don’t find 80% of the nuts they hide.” This was the headline that inspired this week’s episode. In it, I equate collecting inspiration for your art as akin to a squirrel collection nuts. Art is nuts, and to make it, you must be a little but nutty, too. Welcome to Squirrel Math. Look for it at a university near you.
