This episode reminded me so much of why I fell in love witth animation and creativity. Brandon approaches his work with a frame of mind that I have nothing but respect for. He does not waste energy trying to chase the quality of his heero's and then beating himself up over falling short. Instead he enjoys where he is in the moment and just lets his artistic voice come through. A lot of us can not say the same, not if we are truly being honest.

Thank you for inspiring me Brandon!
