Where do ideas come from?

So...what do you think? Please share some of the inspirations for the seeds that grow our work...be as specific as possible and let's try to compile a big list of 'inspiration triggers'...

  7. inspiration comes to me from:
    Pedestrians on the way home
    books
    those random comments people make
    music
    people's expressions
    homework (in the sense that I draw reactions to that work. i.e. zombies on my stats homework)
    History
    stars
    sunrises
    sunsets
    bats
    dragonflies
    found objects
    dreams
    smells

  8. The little unnoticed things of life like something that was once used and then forgot about and years later found in the attic.

  9. probably they come from the whole concept of us taking it in, and then composing it in our own different way, so from our different points of view on different subjects and experiences in life.

  10. the moment right before you fall asleep when your mind wanders to really weird thoughts...at least for me.

  11. surfing the web
    looking at others' work
    or just starting something new

  12. in the bustle of cities (architecture melded with nature), in the people that walk to and fro with agendas and lives of their own. In the complexity of the world and the vastness of it all. I find inspiration in the simple too (it is the ordinary and everyday things that more often than not leap out at me)

  13. ideas come from everywhere. they can come from nature, people watching, the waves in the ocean, anywhere. as soon as you get a tiny bit of inspiration take it and run because you never know where it may lead you.

  14. The moments that trigger inspiration for me is when im on my roof with a cup of caramel hot chocolate looking up at the stars and listening to James Taylor or Norah Jones. Also, when i go on nature walks with my dog and just take in God's beautiful creation
