-- Cato the Younger

June was wild lettuce and stinging nettles. July was cherries and wild strawberries. August was forest berries. September was porcini.”
“There are obviously so many artists that are very inspiring, but I can't say that they like - that I have someone in mind that is like a creative direction of where I want to go as an artist. I think I'm just doing my own thing.”
