what inspires you?

i love to draw from a million and one different places when i'm creating something. music, movies, books, conversations, dreams, visions, emotions, words, websites, television, prayers. they all feed into what goes into my art.

i feel like, for myself, being able to draw from various strands of inspiration is something i had to learn to do. it used to baffle me how musicians, actors, artists, etc. were able to take a situation and produce art from it. slowly, but surely i am learning the art of inspiration. it becomes easier each time i sit down to create.

here are a few things that i have been fascinated with as of lately: sci fi, brooklyn, graffiti artists, Tchaikovsky, east l.a., storms, vintage electronics, robots of the future, space travel, whale wars, the UK, queen elizabeth's persona as used in pop culture, harry potter, industrialism.

so what inspires you?

my first post!

so after hearing so much about blogspot, i decided to finally create one. i hope this will be a place that i can throw out my ideas, my thoughts, and my inspirations!
