Wow! That's really awesome. I really appreciate his passion for his art, if it's music, upholstery or else. The way he is driven by an inner desire to create, the minimalism, the constraints he puts on himself to maximise his creativity and output. Truly inspirational. If people have not seen it, I highly recommend the interview with Conan ▶ this video

There's definitely some artist who feel that way. Jack White comes to mind. He'll deliberately use restrictions(like writing music for only two instruments) and even physically obstruct things at live performances. See this (very good) interview with Conan: ▶ this video

The way you explain this, it seems you share the same concept of "cheating" as Jack White ( ▶ this video ) I am left wondering if this isn't cheating per se, but a balance between skills and intelligence. What do you think?
