I'm having a creative dry spell lately, which started me wondering what inspires the work of the other artists in this community. Usually, when people ask me where I get my ideas, I tell them "Wal-Mart". But inspiration usually comes to me in the following ways: 1. An idea will pop into my head full-blown, with no discernable source. I usually sketch these out on paper before going to Bryce. 2. Acquisition of a new object or texture will sometimes lead to an artwork, by starting the gears turning with "What can I do with this.?" 3. Playing around with objects or textures in Bryce until an idea comes to me. There are other paths of inspiration for me, but these are my most common. I would love to hear where YOUR inspiration comes from. :^)

This is not my "second childhood". I'm not finished with the first one yet.
