Elijah has been motivating the masses with his artistic prompts, distilled from years of observation and experimentation and captured in his already hugely influential Close The App, Make The Ting book. His work has become a creative rallying cry - a reminder that ideas are meant to be acted on, not endlessly scrolled past.

By the end, you’ll feel compelled to get up, silence the noise, and quite literally "make the ting" yourself.
