somewhat off topic, but it's interesting Glenn mentions that he switches the project's media when he can't communicate well enough through paint. We all have our limitations; as a graphic designer, illustrator, artist and lifelong visual & creative person, I find it hard to communicate without painting or sketching.

Loved Glenn's take.

If the world is anarchic, so it’s a kind of reflection of what the world is, that he also knows how to compose a picture.
