Thesis Tape Vol 4 – Influences, Inspiration and Imitation

Your boy JBarber is deep in the thick of creating his thesis work! There’s a lot of writing and making art going on in the basement. He put down his paints and picked up the mic to share some of his thoughts about his art journey. JB reflects on his relationship with other artists. Where he once had an unhealthy relationship with his art heroes and found himself trying to imitate their style, now he sees them as influences. There is a big difference in the approach to it. Finally, how influences and inspiration work hand in hand to get you out of your box, because there is always a new box and another level.
