What Inspires Me

I am inspired by the ignored. I try to look for things that I naturally shun. This includes the ugly, stark and naked artifacts that surround us. Too much attention is paid to the beautiful, the aesthetically pleasing. There cannot be light without dark. Without the hideous, there cannot be the appealing. It wouldn’t exist. I wish to honor the repugnant, repelling, and reptilian. I want to set them on a pedestal and glorify them, photograph them, create rhyming words for them. In the past, the world looked these gross entities in the eye, now they only to look to the light. The only problem with this is that the appreciation for the radiance of the lovely goes down. When all you see is charming, it looses its charm. No more. For me I’ve raked my eyes over these superficial and gaudy bags that people wear like rare commodities. What is rare today is seen as poor or inferior. I hunger for the real and unsightly. That is what inspires me.

Yo dogs.

Hey guys.

Soooo I've pretty much been in love with this video since it came out. And just thought i should share the love. EXPRESS YO SELF.

Trippy art + Rad music = Who needs drugs and dubstep anyways?

Okay so this guy is blind and he can do art better than I can. He take abstract photos of a lot of different things. They are really beautiful. Take a look.

So either this is making me really depressed or making me want to try ten times harder to be better.

pencil art literally

okay I looked up pencil art to try and so how I can draw better, and get some more inspiration, and sculptures like this came up. I thought it was so cool, and now I really want to make one of these because how interesting they look and it's cool textures.

This woman is my inspiration

I thoroughly appreciate her contributions to photography and her views on gender equality. http://www.flickr.com/photos/trialsanderrors/2896013037/

Poetry Through-out a City.

This is super cool, people use billboards to display their poetry instead of advertisements.

A personal favorite:
Whenever you see
the sun reflected
in the window
of a building
it is an angel
