Hey All, what do you guys use for artistic inspiration? I see lots of original stuff and it's really awesome.. I consider myself somewhat creative but not like what I see out there..

Just curious..

Craig - six pints of Shepherd Neame's finest bitter normally does the trick!

Seriously, as far as I am aware, there is no formula. I don't profess to be a creative genius, but find most of my bright (and daft) ideas come when least expected, and the brain is in neutral.
Relaxing, mundane stuff (showering, mowing the lawn etc) normally does it for me.

Like yourself, I would be interested to see what inspires others....

Cool.. I do spend a lot of time browsing other peoples websites, and art, etc.. another thing I do sometimes is if there is a 'theme' to whatever I'm working on I will google it and them select 'images' to get visual ideas of whatever it is.. that helps occasionally.. sometimes I'll do the same after visiting thesaurus.com and looking at other ideas and images.. anything that helps right?
