WARMUP: Read this quote from Robert Pollard, lead singer/songwriter/genius behind legendary indie rock band GUIDED BY VOICES. What do you think his process says about what it takes to create art, be it written or visual?

“I don’t write songs constantly, but I do keep ideas visually. I work every day from about 6a.m. to noon. I keep notebooks full of ideas, titles and lyrics. When I feel the urge occasionally, I’ll combine them and brainstorm song ideas. I work on collages three or four times a week. To me it’s the same process and I frequently combine them. They’re equally satisfying. They both involve breaking down borrowed imagery, particularly from the 60’s and 70’s, and reconstructing it in to something that I hope is more interesting.”
