Last night I watched a documentary called Junk Dreams, by Skye Borgman, at the Ross Raglan Theatre.  If was full of coastal scenes, marinas, open water, etc. ….and it made want to go back to the coast so bad.  I grew up on the Oregon coast, and I think it will always feel like home, no matter how accustomed I think I am, to a new town.  Don’t be surprised if I start popping out with some aquatic inspired artwork soon!

It also reminded me of how much I love documentaries and how I’d like to spend more time immersing myself in other art forms.  Inspiration is what I feel I’ve been lacking lately.  Reading, looking at images other than my everyday scenes, walking around with a camera, and spending time outdoors can keep me inspired and pumped full of creative energy.  Wandering the library for random books is also a great thing.

I’d love hear about other artists’ experience with this sort of thing.  Inspiration and how they fill themself. So please chime in.
