Taking risks in your art is cheaper when you’re young. Nobody’s expecting a masterpiece. Weird is allowed.

Nobody is watching closely yet, and that is the advantage rather than the problem. With no reputation to protect and no audience expecting what you did last time, you can make something strange and lose nothing but an afternoon. Later the same experiment costs more, because by then people have decided what you are. The window where failure is free does not stay open forever.

Use it on the idea that sounds a bit stupid when you say it out loud. Make one thing this month with no plan for showing it to anyone. Keep what comes out, including the parts that failed.
