The weather in Brooklyn has been a daily roulette, swaying from pseudo-spring winds, rainstorms and snow, so clouds have been on my mind, lately. Inspirations were thunderstorms, hints of warmth, crisp wet clean minimalism, softness. Nice to explore a more subtle color palette; I’m especially fond of aqua in combination with its split complements.

I am thinking of exploring this idea further via an illustration. Which means: AHA! Success! Idea generation through idle play! Ideas are always good.
I often get stuck in ruts where I feel either uninspired to create outside of work, or as if I am “not creative enough” (which is something I may write about more in depth later this week) so I think this mini collage-making is a good exercise for me.

PS. Hey! Creative types! Tell me if you’re reading this and if it sparks your imagination. I want to see what you’re making. I know you lurkers are out there; I can see you on my analytics!

Tada! Let me introduce to you “Visually Delicious”!
I have, over my thirteen years on the internet, amassed a sizable collection of images that inspire me visually. And instead of letting them lurk on my hard drive, I figured I’d share them with you weekly! I cannot guarantee that they will all be credited, since many have been on my laptop for years and years, but please let me know if I happen to post work that is yours or you know who I can attribute it to!
