for kat

Kat from A Second Glance asked when I feel most creatively inspired, With art, I can be inspired anytime, with an image.
Badgley Mischka RTW Spring 2012

Especially if I look at someone else's art,
At the Community Arts Center

When I read or someone tells me a story.


My art journal page 
It says: "You can cut all the flowers
but you cannot keep spring from coming."
-Pablo Neruda

I'm mostly inspired by other people.

Alexis Mabille 2012 Spring RTW

Children inspire me.

Its says: "Spring sprang suddenly onto the land."-Jean Giorno

I'm inspired by music.
When I hear it,
when I see it live or on TV, &
when I try to play it myself.

 Local band we saw last week. I don't know their name.

Nature is also a good source of inspiration.

I saw this butterfly while I was getting gas.

Can you see how I use my inspirations in my art?


Art Journal page

I do my best writing, first thing in the morning, right after I wake up. My guy is really good about when he sees me writing, to not interrupt, nor break my concentration. If it's quiet, I can focus for a long time. I do better, if I can have uninterrupted time,
in silence.

  9. The butterfly reminds me of story in middle school. I was standing outside waiting for the doors to open after lunch, and I felt something on my head. I thought it was a butterfly so I stood still and just let it fly off.

    When it did, I walked towards the door and my friend said "Adam, you know you had a bee on your head right?"

  10. I do love your journal pages...
    I guess we all tend to get inspired from other things or people but come up with unique creations from our own... I also get inspired by music, words from poets, movies, trends... but also from silly random things such as trees, spiders, rain, glass... not to mention the moon.. you know I love that cosmic being.
    Btw.. pablo neruda..♥

  14. Your portrait is beautiful! I find it hardest to draw myself, you did a great job. And your blog is always full of beautiful images. You are good with colors. It reflects your emotions and thoughts; Fashion, art, nature, they are great inspiration, I am also inspired by them.

  22. Teddi, thank you for this post!! I like that you answered in terms of the what and when of inspiration. It's so neat to see how the inspiration photos are adapted onto your art journal pages. My mind thinks so much more literally than yours so I find your thought process quite fascinating. I like the butterfly next to the Chevron sign photo. I too am most creative between sleep and awake, whether at night or in the morning. Often I wish I could dictate my thoughts to someone to write down! It's nice that your man respects your quiet writing time - that's love.
