But then I started moving away from being so heavily anime influenced and more into an angular comic book kinda style. I'd say Charmaine ended up having a bigger influence on me. Her style is so much grittier and all of her drawings look like she banged them out in minutes because of her super fast looking linework. I like all the speed you can sense in her drawings! I looked at some of Rose's stuff after you posted about her on your Tumblr but I feel like, for me at least, a lot of the magic is gone. As much as I LOVE super bubbly cuteness and bright colors they have to be the right kind. I like a little more creepy in my cute than she delivers. She draws and colors beautifully. There's no doubt about that!<br /><br />@Athina Inspiration is everywhere! Sometimes just being in the supermarket surrounded by all those colors and smells makes me want to create things. I think I draw the most inspiration from conversation though. talking to people, talking through ideas that lead to new ideas and more ideas has been the biggest inspiration for me. That's where so much of my art came from while I was in art school. I would sit and talk to my friends and have billions of ideas flood into me! It was such a thrill, that feeling of perfect inspiration. I miss that dialog so much! It's really hard to surround yourself with creative people in a city where you just don't know anybody and have no ties to start out with. I never realized how hard it would be to make new friends once I got out of school. I'm trying to surround myself with creative people online, so I went on a blog following spree! I don't think anything will ever replace the magic of art school. Having a studio next to six other people who were all constantly making things and talking about them was an incredible experience.<br /><br />I hope one day I will be covered in creative people again! In the mean time I draw a lot of inspiration from the same things you do. Music, color, my mood, fashion (especially this resurgence of 80s awesomeness!). I also get a lot of goodness from writing in my little red notebook. It's kind of like an internal version of the conversations I used to have with my art school chums. Oooooh I can't wait to get back in my studio and make more stuff! <3Cindy B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01878390778324247739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4817086222854958433.post-66498219882935272982009-12-29T03:21:34.495-05:002009-12-29T03:21:34.495-05:00Thanks for the love!!!
