    My own brain is my favorite artist.
    It has all the features you would expect an outstanding artist to have. You can not see it, that’s why you can focus only on what it does, not what it looks like. It produces extraordinary and eccentric images i can easily call parallel worlds. It collaborates with other artists such as my hands and my eyes. It is alive, so I myself can interact with it. And finally it is the biggest inspiration i could ever have.
