How does an artist go about creating original, inspiring, creative works? Alexander Calder once remarked that artists need inspiration, they cannot create in a vacuum. He surrounded himself with a wide collection of found objects and natural objects to inspire his sculptures. Inspiration can come from anywhere; your own environment, relationships, dreams, music, entertainment, what's going on in the world today, galleries, museums and of course what we spend hours looking at on the web.
Here are a few places of inspiration. If you have a great idea or website to share with your peers, please email me and I'll check it out and add it to the list!
