There are several website and other resources that I really love that inspire me whenever I go to them. The first one by far is Creative Bloq. They have interviews with people from a wide range of fields from designers, to artist, programmers, graphic designer and so many other professions. I can go on this site to read recommendations for books to read or find some amazing free tutorials to look at. They also show amazing short animations such as this one that was made by  Maki Yoshikura.

You can read more about the story behind the animation one the site as well.

If I ever want to look at different color palette my favorite site is Colour Lovers.

For some fun inspiration these music videos comes to mind:

 

 

One of my favorite books is “And So It Goes: Kurt Vonnegut: A Life” by Charles J. Shields. I have read a lot of Kurt Vonnegut’s books, but never knew that much about the author until I was given this book as a Christmas gift one year. It was such an amazing book I read in a week. It was great to read about how he went through being a struggling artist to becoming a renowned author. Which brings me to my second favorite book called “Daily Rituals: How Artist Work” by Mason Currey. This was another really quick read. They are a collection of short stories about the daily lives of different creative people, mostly artist and authors, but Benjamin Franklin is in there too! The collection is about how all these people create different routines in order to do the things that they love the most. Whether it is finding time to write while maintaining a full time job or having a schedule that is best for their work flow.

     

The las thing I want to share is this short film about…inspiration!
