Inspiration thread.

[Benjamin Kantor]

I think that visual references (particularly, ones that you can't get out of your mind) are a legitimate form of inspiration.

Personally I'm a minimalist when it comes to art; the piece is finished when you can't take anything else away and still guide the audience to your desired outcome. That's art in it's truest form. Which I think is also why B&W images are still very effective. But someone who can control and use color effectively is brilliant.

I am very inspired by people who can tell complete stories in 30 seconds, injustice in the world, and that often elusive X-factor that evokes surprise or laughter in a person. A clever question is sometimes more fulfilling than an boring answer sometimes. I guess this is pretty general, so I'll just end it with this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=at_f98qOGY0
