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!

The way you had the photos set up it looked almost like one of those nautilus seashell. Then I had this random idea of a collage set up in the nautilus seashell pattern of the 31 days of march, where you assign a temperature value to a picture based on the day’s temperature.. deeper aqua marine = colder days, a little more yellow for warmer days.
Sry, just a random idea i had and i’m not sure if it’s silly or not.
Good luck with everything and hope that you’re enjoying your day!
