I'll start:
Clean space, new materials, a visit to the art store, good coffee, being in love.

Re: Share what inspires you to work
Tue, January 13, 2004 - 9:54 AMLately nothing has been very inspiring to me.
Things that can be inspiring:
1. Reading the works of others
2. Encouragement
3. Being in love, feeling loved, wanted, needed
4. Depression (I know that sounds weird, but sometimes when i'm depressed is when I write the most)
5. Life in general, things around me, my family, kids, friends
6. Having time to really think. -

Re: Share what inspires you to work
Wed, January 14, 2004 - 10:36 AMI have a problem with not allowing myself to think or not making time to think. I manage to bog down my life so much that I don't allow myself to think about my feelings or emotions or much of anything. -

Re: Share what inspires you to work
Wed, January 14, 2004 - 10:44 AMI always have time for my art, it is my life. It surrounds me and ties my heart to my brain until my fingers draw or write these swimming emotions. Sometimes it's a burden to carry around these thoughts and or feelings but when they appear on a piece of paper folk seem to enjoy em, so I guess that is the point. To get rid of these emotions that are poking at my soul with a knife and turning them into eye or ear candy for other humans to disect or enjoy. -

Wed, January 14, 2004 - 11:42 AMExactly! and you do it so well too John. I'm not sure that my poetry really does anything for anyone sometimes, including myself. Maybe that's why I haven't written anything decent in quite some time. -

Re: Share what inspires you to work
Tue, January 20, 2004 - 5:58 PMsometimes a drawings (an idea) will pop into my head and then when I sit down it turns into a poem that turns into a song and then sits in a notebook in a drawer in my room. -
