Inspiration roundup

Lately, there's been a creative project that's been sucking up all my free time. Time I  used to use to maintain things like this blog. So, what better way to rejuvenate this blog than to share some of the things that have been keeping me inspired on that other project?

When I'm working on a new project, I like to compile lots of images and snippets that keep me inspired and motivated. I add to it as much as possible as I go along. When it's creative work for a client, I usually keep these images and inspirations to myself--often there's something very specific that I love about an  image but I know the client may see the big picture (which might be a poor fit for their goals). It's up to you if you share your inspiration with others or not.

When it comes to collecting inspiration, though, there is one "rule" I always like to keep in mind:


“If you steal from one author, it’s plagiarism; if you steal from many, it’s research.”— Wilson Mizner

 So, here's what's been inspiring me...
