I asked some people this question during MIGW/SXSW & I’m curious. What two emotions do you think drive you as a person?
Not just in your work, but in your life. I think mine are love & fear and it’s interesting how those two feelings and variations on them have manifested in my work/life at times.

There’s an argument that dysphoria and a desire for self actualisation are massive too.
I wonder if everyone is driven by one positive and one negative?
Pride in the people I share this world with, in the art that gets created, in striving for a better world that we won't give up on
And despair that I'll never get to see a better world, either through my own actions or running out of time
I want the space to care for the things I put my time into, and for those things to both love, and feel as though they come from a place of love
Concern for others around me, the people I love and their wellbeing, the world in general, my health, sanity & pets.
Hope for the future and the general belief that most people are benevolent but probably been hurt, which turns outwards sometimes.
Fear. Fear of losing the little foothold that I've worked to get in life either through my own failings or things crumbling around me.
Second is fear - fear of not being/doing enough. Always felt it's been an uphill fight for career/friends/life.
The best I can come up with is love/enthusiasm and contemplation/anxiety? I'm constantly thinking about EVERYTHING (good and bad), and always looking to see the best in people/help them get the best of themselves.
I’d say fear and curiosity, if that’s a feeling. Afraid of constantly hurting people or fucking something up but also curious about new things and wanting to do new things.
... also sleepiness.
FOMO.
