We are welcoming back Bruce as he is our first two time guest, coming in for an encore to take us through the gorgeous work he does with design mockups under the name Studio Yorktown. Studio Yorktown takes mockups to another level, another planet even, it's not even really fair to call anything else a mockup after looking at these. During our conversation Bruce walks us through the genesis of the company, his process and even his day to day ethos and journey in staying creatively healthy. We learn what Bruce looks for in setting up a scene in terms of light, shadows and composition. Bruce encourages us to stop procrastinating, hiding behind tools and excuses and just use what you have, do the thing and start making. We learn what drives someone to make a mockup of a cd on fire. We seek to answer the age old question, if you make work, but don't share it on instagram, did it ever even happen?" And I make many strange diving analogies to creativity.

Quotes

"If you can't figure out how to create with a little, it's unlikely you'll be able to create with a lot."

"The thing that I feel engages the mind and adds realism is that there are small imperfections."

"If you slow down and you look at things, you're literally giving yourself the gift of looking at the world again."

"It's about training yourself to look very closely at a world which is around you full of magic that is easily forgotten."

"The faster way to contentment is usually ironically by slowing down."
