There is nothing in the world like creating something artistic, especially if its from your own mind. But then there are people who have extraordinary ideas that cant be realized without the help of someone who can read minds and manifest it into something tangible that can be seen. I cant read minds but i can imagine worlds and ideas and paste them on paper and build them with clay.
