This talk by Dines was an AMAZING start to the week! His down to earth, straight up approach was so refreshing, and seeing him talk about the roots of his creative inspiration discussing his love of Pokemon/anime and working in his bedroom throughout uni showed a real journey that inspired me to just go and do what I need to do.
