A Few Inspiring Images


When asked about inspiration, the title of my blog really explains it. I’m in love with music; infatuated with tones and the different timbres of sound. My creative process is fueled by music. I listen to music while creating art and my works are often related to music. My love of art blooms from the same central stem that my love of music grows from. It’s all about exploring. Everything is an exploration when it relates to my process. I want to learn through my own hands.  

There are many questions I’m asked about the creative process, but they all just boil down to one thing: Where do you find your spark?

It’s very simple really. Usually, I just stroll around tumblr looking for something inspiring. I just put in my headphones, and cruise the net until I stumble across something. There is no real science or method to my madness; just perseverance. I’ll search of hours until something finally hits me. I’ve been collecting a glut of images that have really struck a chord with me, and I figured I would post a few of them that will give an idea as to what catches my eye. 
 "Doll" - Griffblut

"Samantha Lying" - Ian Reynold

"MF008" - Eric Lacombe

I have also recently discovered Ivan Alifan's website: http://www.ivanalifan.com/

I really enjoy his work due to the use of color and heavy paint application. The tactile quality of his pieces really draw in my sense of touch. I almost attempt to touch with my eyes as I study each piece. He does a great job of rendering human forms, and I highly recommend his work.
