Lex Friedman

Especially in pop culture, so in music, music videos, online culture, product design, gaming, commercial image databases. I'm also very interested in technical developments in the field of computer graphics.

With my fear of making mistakes and my fear of ruining invested time by making stupid decisions. And with my laziness.
What themes or symbols are the most important to you as an artist?
