dandelion sunrise.
I've always wanted to be a morning person. I think mornings offer a greater sense of anonymity than nights do.
face kite face.I think this was a piece from an art show a little while back. I love the facial expression and how its eyes seem to be on the person whose hand is grabbing the fabric. I have no idea if it's a kite, but it reminds me of one.
hands.I like the subtlety of this drawing and the clarity of the subject matter drawn with such wobbly, uncertain lines. I would like the things I create to have a similar quality.
rider.I like the bizarre creature–a sort of deer with swords for legs. I really like working strange, surreal juxtapositions into an overall scene.
headless crown.
I like the random composition–how the elements don't relate to each other in any real way but work and compliment each other all the same. I like the spontaneous, haphazard quality.
strolling pair.This photo fills my heart. It's a very sweet picture, I love the clothing they're wearing–especially the matching red piping, the tender arm-in-arm with their backs to the viewer, the slightly burry quality to help the romantic mood along. And I love that they're walking in nature, and not the city.
red suitcase.I really like the retro, almost Cindy Sherman sort of feel of this photo. I like the anonymity of the subject and how the woodsy setting curiously displaces the well-heeled faceless subject.
ferris.Anything that alludes to magic and dream in a nostalgic way inspires me, and this image definitely does. I also just love Ferris wheels.
poppy field.I think they are poppies. The colors are great. I really like colors that are rich, vibrant and I guess, organic? I think what I mean by organic is colors found spontaneously in nature, like this field of flowers against the water.
kitchen nude.There's something humorous about this image. There's something grotesquely appealing about a naked pregnant woman walking through her kitchen, with its half-open, dated cabinet doors. I'm not sure how this image inspires me, but I think it might have to do with its wry humor and interesting composition. And as bizarre as it is, it feels very real to me.
three silhouettes in bklyn.I love the shapes the silhouettes take in this photo–how they are in the foreground with the blue-orange sky as the color backdrop. There is something cartoon-y about it, which I like. It reminds me of summer. Summer = Nostalgia = Inspiration.
tiny plane.I think scale can be inspiring. This plane, for example, is something rather large, but once it's in the sky, it becomes a small fleck in a boundless expanse.
cherub.I like patterns, especially intricate ones with ornate curvature and feminine colors.
