Constancy
What tools are essential to your life (app, software, etc..)
I can not work without listening a movie ( a movie I’ve already seen ) so my first super tool is my iMac. Actually there are many tools but the hands and gouges are the most essential otherwise my style could not be created.
What does your office space look like?
I work in my bedroom, it’s a very small space 3×3.5 m ( cozy ) and my work station is a desk.

Depends, if I’m modeling or sculpting I prefer to listen to pianists, when painting I go with rock, if I’m creating clothing and accessories I go with movie soundtracks.

Not really. I have 2 jobs so the hours are pretty tight. 8:30 am to 6:00 pm with advertising and 8:00 pm to 3:00 am creating toys.
