Stumbling Inspiration

The title says it all. Inspiration, I went to an Art School and people ask all the time, where do you get the inspiration for your work? Honestly I read the guidelines of the projects that are assigned me to me *HA jk*. But right now? I get all my inspirations from StumbleUpon.com, it's basically a place where you can pick out tags that you are interested in and the lovely server dishes out the websites that it thinks you will like the best. and I AM HOOKED. The more websites you like, the better sites you will cross. If you get friends to Stumble as well, you can share your favorites and check out what they've "Stumbled Upon" too! WARNING: first time stumble will equal up to 2 hours or more.

Of course one of the tags I've preferred is fashion and I've seen some amazing photography and editorial work. Other than fashion, tags I also preferred are animation, food/cooking and video games. Believe it or not, I'm a geek at best. I landed on this great food cooking site, FoodGawker, and found a bunch of baking recipes that are delicious!! I ended up baking a few of the recipes for the 4th of July Weekend. For the video games tag, I've come across some elaborate game crossovers like Super Mario Brothers Crossover. It's a pretty rad game where it takes the very first Super Mario Game for the Nintendo and combines other notable 80's video game characters. Play it and you'll feel the nostalgia settling in. Hint: It's easier with Mega Man. Lastly for animation, this one is by far my favorite on that I have "Stumbled Upon" is Les Dangereux a cute romance featuring a ninja trying to get the girl ninja's affection.

So what does this have to do with my inspiration? Simple, seeing other people create things makes me want to also create and inspire others around me. It hits me in a way especially when I see a fashion post, "Yes this is what I want, I want to be the best in my industry". With the other tags I Stumble Upon, it gives me the urge to try new things like the baking recipes from FoodGawker. You don't need someone to tell you how to get inspired, you find it in your own way. And right now I find my inspiration and motivation from StumbleUpon.com.
