WOW. I had to comment on here to thank you for sharing the Dallas Clayton video. I clicked play thinking, “I’ll give it a few minutes to see what it’s all about”. I’m honestly captivated by the guy. What he’s talking about is something I’ve had eating at me for a few years now. We are all born artists, it’s just that most seem to “grow” out of it.
Thank you for giving this.
