  • 024. The Bold Adventure I decided that adventure was the best way to learn... Lloyd Alexander In the spirit of adventure, I begin this blog post with butterflies in my stomach and a firm sense of determination to succeed. I recently volunteered to completely redesign and develop my organization's website, a feat I have yet to accomplish in any kind of amateur experiment and one which I hope to accomplish in just the next six months. Not only will this be my first ever website of any significant size, but it will reflect my own drive, creativity, and perfectionist nature.

  • 020. Scraping the Bottom, Skimming the Top As an artist and creative person, I usually have a well of ideas I draw from when I need inspiration, but there are some times when either the ideas don't fit the medium or the purpose of the project I'm working on, or perhaps my well has run completely dry. When I need to replenish the supply, there are some things I usually do. My personal toolbox, though, is not infinitely deep and full, so I thought I would ask some other creative types where they draw inspiration from to see if I might find some new sources. Here's what was shared with me (please feel free to add your own in the comments, as well):

  • 018. Simple Image: Row Houses I've decided to do a feature every Wednesday on this blog featuring photography or artwork. It will be a simple image, nothing more and no explanation. Today's image is a photograph that I took myself, but I intend on featuring a new artist or photographer each week, so if you would like to have your artwork or photography featured, or if you have suggestions on who should be featured, please contact me.
  • 017. Time Out! Sometimes I forget that the best thing a creative person can do is shut out everything else and just take a time out. We all need time to unplug, unwind, and unthink. I recently wrote about what I would do if I could create my own schedule and how I'd like to find a way to stay on a permanent vacation. In addition to the benefits of spending time away from electronic distractions, staying away from others' opinions in general can be extremely beneficial when trying to create something new. In the days of hyper-connectivity, it's hard not to be influenced by other media, including television, radio, internet, phone calls, and even face-to-face conversations.

  • 015. The Essence of Summer There are some simple things which always remain essential to enjoying summer and for me, one of them is Sam Adams' Summer Ale. Another is spreading out a blanket across a patch of green grass and sitting in the sun, reading a good book. Hamburgers and corn on the cob, humid days followed by thunderstorms and then drier air, outdoor concerts, sticking my feet in the sand at the ocean.
