My barber asked me why I only make zines about my own life

He said, 'What if you just drew pictures of weird stuff you see on the bus?' That simple question made me start a new zine called 'Bus Window Doodles' last week. Anyone else get a random idea from a totally different person that sparked a new project?

Look at it as a way to find ideas, not lose them. The barber just gave you a new filter for your everyday life. Now you have a whole bus full of material you were ignoring before.

That barber's advice sounds like a good way to run out of ideas fast.

Barbers are low-key life coaches, like @the_sam said.
