Devour Old Films, New Films, Music, Books, Paintings, Photographs, Poems, Dreams, Random Conversations, Architecture, Bridges, Street Signs, Trees, Clouds, Bodies Of Water, Light And Shadows. Select Only Things To Steal From That Speak Directly To Your Soul. If You Do This, Your Work (and Theft) Will Be Authentic.
