I watched this last night. Seemed like it has something helpful to say on the subject of that particular mix of envy and sadness you can sometimes feel when seeing work you consider better than your own...and I've been in that emotional state more than once across the decades.

...when you feel your art is just not good enough.

Yeah, and then there are those of use to whom a straight line is a challenge. ...and a circle requires a compass.

Then again, Heinlein gave us "The wonder of the dancing bear is not how well it dances, rather the fact that it dances at all."

I'll allow myself to be content to have my "arrow/pointer" scrawly-mark be accepted in the relating of "this" to "that" (and just accept that decipherable annotation for said mark is outside my skill set).
