No I don't need others to stimulate me (view my images) all were created from an artistic imaginative mind.  As an artist you are not right in your comment keenart...the passion does move in waves and there are times when you are floundering like a fish and then there are times when  you are riding the biggest wave. Art is gut wrenching at its best and if you put it out with ease then you are not an artist but a business man and a fraud.  There are artists and then there are set designers who believe themselves to be artists!
