Every time I work on a project, I keep every little piece of paper.
Micah Lexier
I carry a knife with me so I can cut images out of cardboard boxes. I'm always cutting cardboard. Especially every Thursday, which is recycling day.

Maybe I don't think I'm touching people, but I am. Sometimes I'm sitting there at three in the morning, proofreading something, and I'm thinking, Is this really worth it? Or am I doing this only because my mother taught me never to give up? Then you realize, no, even if it doesn't come back to you, you are touching people.

Sometimes being an artist is a real drag. It can be incredibly bureaucratic.
Micah Lexier
I like well-made clothes, and I don't mind spending a lot of money on something that looks super, super simple. I don't like knockoffs.
Micah Lexier
It's nice to make a project where you can show the full breadth of who you are.
