shapes or colours or words, something a bit more original than fresh air. visual things or written things... whatever makes you think differently.

my friends, people i meet, my family, strangers... sometimes i can just be talking to someone great about nothing at all and i am made optimistic, as if anything is possible (could turn into a musical number). i love being surprised by people and watching them move. and i love touching people, but thats something i save for a select few. strangers don't generally like that. also, if someone tells me something that makes them vulnerable i get so overwhelmed. in doing that they are being ballsy, sensitive, sincere and trusting, which makes me want to run away and write them down.
i am such a cheese.
i also get inspired by my dreams. my subconsciousness knows me so much better than my consciousness.

I have always found that natural things have inspired me. I suppose been a photographer and teacher of same, I have always been visually inspired. I have always used Black & White for my own work, since I see this as a purist form. Colour makes its own composition most of the time. I also find that music and poetry inspire me to produce photographic images. In recent times my son has become a video cameraman, and this now has a bearing upon how I see/look at and percieve images. I have to thank him for teaching me digital video editing. Hope this helps.

Everything! I try not to limit myself to just one thing. I try to leave myself open to everything around me, that way if I'm having a problem getting inspired I'm giving myself a greater chance to take something in I may not usually think about. I'm just being a sponge soaking up what I can and if nothings really grabbing my attention then I can just ring it out and keep going.
It's funny though, I usually get inspired when I'm away from my supplies. That's usually when I'll see something or hear something that stikes a cord. Mainly when I'm at work or driving someplace. And I know why, because I'm not thinking about it. My mind is occupied by something else and there's no pressure to be inspired.

When I look at art I want to be able to not only see it but to also feel it.I want it to pull me in so that I can truly grasp what the artist was trying to convey.The use of colors,textures,shapes and sizes coming together to create a masterpiece.Thus this will inspire me to be more creative in my own work and life.

The human form, and the written word.

I find food magazines inspire me to extend my cooking repertoire. We have some gorgeous paintings we have bought and I find they inspire me to look for the beauty in other things. They also inspire me to keep my rooms tidy so as best to show them off!

Words not in meaning but the patterns made by letters, grammer etc. Quite like numbers too

I know it sounds typical, but the color Black inspires me.
Also, the word SUCCESS gears me up again.

music
especially that which reminds me of my past... so perhaps I inspire myself, but use things to trigger that inspiration,
of the senses
