Last week I just showed someone the tools.

Lol using hydraulic systems to teach homework checks is next level. My attempts are more like confusing "yaw" with "yawn" while trying to explain why they shouldn't leave their backpack in the hall. Your brother's method is honestly genius.

Cold brew's just iced coffee with extra steps.

Totally get that, lol. I was stuck in a real rut with my own stuff until I took a trip last fall. Being somewhere new just forces you to see light and textures differently, you know? It's like your brain gets clogged using the same views out your window every day. Bringing that fresh feeling back to the studio is everything. It absolutely makes the work feel more grounded, even when you're turning it into something totally wild later.

@brianhill Two years is a serious wait. What was it doing the whole time before the new leaves? Just sitting there as a green top? I’m curious what finally made it turn a corner.
