Where do you find creative inspirations?

Just wanted to share My thoughts on a play I saw over the weekend which was called A weekend with Pablo Picasso. If you artist people ever get a chance to see it , please do , It was soooo loaded with creative inspirations , I was like taking a art and art philosophy class with Pablo! I went away from this performance ready to create , understand why I need to create. It was very good.

Two scenes from the play

Laughing, I'm sure this is no surprise, but from my emotions and feelings. I have a big imagination, and when you combine feelings and imagination the river spills forth. Especially when it comes to writing.

I'm usually inspired by artwork that is surreal either in a horrific or fantastic way. For example, the cover art from H.P. Lovecraft's Bloodcurdling Tales of Horror and the Macabre, graphics from the most recent Alice in Wonderland film, or the Cirque du Soleil's Journey of Man.

I think its more the effects of writing, artwork or film that provides some kind of sublimity, a peek into something that stretches belief and the imagination.

I get that same feeling when reading Lovecraft's short stories, or Clive Barker's novels, Guy Gavriel Kay's Tigana, Brian Lumley's Necroscope and others in the fantasy, sci-fi, horror vein.

Others are films that have some surreal feel to them, like the aforementioned Alice in Wonderland, as well as Finding Neverland, Pan's Labyrinth, Dead Poet's Society etc.

Basically anything that uses surreal, otherworldly or colourful use of language, images and ideas.

Well, a 10,000 year old alien brain is sure to have some sort of creative output, right?

“You can’t use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have.” — Maya Angelou

You become more divine as you become more creative. All the religions of the world have said God is the creator. I don’t know whether he is the creator or not, but one thing I know: the more creative you become, the more godly you become. When your creativity comes to a climax, when your whole life becomes creative, you live in God. So he must be the creator because people who have been creative have been closest to him. Love what you do. Be meditative while you are doing it – whatsoever it is!” — Osho

“Every day is an opportunity to be creative – the canvas is your mind, the brushes and colours are your thoughts and feelings, the panorama is your story, the complete picture is a work of art called, ‘my life’. Be careful what you put on the canvas of your mind today – it matters.” — Innerspace

I get my inspiration from my own imagination, nature, the works of others, etc. Pinterest is also a great inspiration at times.

I found a LOT of inspiration while on our vacation to New Orleans just in the landscape and terrain of the city. Anything from the spanish moss hanging from the trees to the architecture in the centuries-old graveyards. Truly a magical city with tons of inspiration.

I even brought home a bag of moss we collected from some trees on the side of the road! Projects will be forthcoming
