This year, I got a work apron for Christmas. I’ve always loved the idea (passed on to me by Dr. Seuss and Mr. Rogers) of changing outfits when moving into the creative zone. A couple of years ago, I saw a documentary about Miyazaki where he wore a simple apron to keep clean while working. I’ve copied him. So far, the apron’s been awesome. It helps me focus on what I’m in the studio to do, it helps my family know when I’m “in the zone”, and I have to say, it looks pretty great. Thanks, Janae!
