When I'm not doing photography I like creating digital art. When I'm doing post processing on my images it's always good to listen to music. This is especially so when I'm working on my digital art as often this can aid the process of creativity. This in many ways is a self-portrait as here I am dj-ing, something I do every now and then. I think if you're creatively-inclined you should let it take you where it wants to go. Sure you will have your main interests - in my case photography - but you should never feel afraid of exploring different spheres. It's good to channel creativity in different directions and see what the results are. Often you'll be surprised.
With everything you do though you're going to learn something. Do it. Even if you make mistakes. Don't devalue your mistakes they're important. You will look back on these and realised you've learned something. It's all part of the process. The more you commit yourself the better you'll get. Just don't stop. You'll even learn things by accident and this will also surprise you and give you more ideas.
I'm very self-critical about my work. Sure I've made mistakes in my photography and digital art but I like to think I'm getting better. The piece here was something I didn't plan. It just came about and I'm happy with the results. Listening to music was a great help as essentially the piece is all about music and the energy and mood it creates. This piece was inspired by the music of Hocico, a Mexican dark electro band I really like. M.I.K.E. - Back In Time (Classics ReTake) was also an influence. Great track.
