With the discussion of Bean’s Blog Carnival, I at first was rather stumped and thought that I must be the most uninspired one of the bunch. But then I was going through my Bryce art today and I can name four areas that have given me my muse over the years. Probably foremost is music. I mean very specifically, like trying to create what is in my minds eye. Some are sad, some are serious, and some are just silly, rather like The Sweater Song.

Secondly would be my depression, and those took a lot of courage to display. I’ve been told ‘Swan Song’ was brilliant, I’m sure from a person who understood exactly.

I actually did a surreal one once but I’m not very good at surreal.

And then ‘To Suffer’ where I first used the saying in my tag line.  There are others that I can’t bring myself to list here but nevertheless are a huge part of who I am.

Then there is hope, which fits into this spectrum of feelings as well I think.

Thirdly would be just plain old experiences in my life, like Psycho Kitty. Which wasn’t really the least bit funny at the time 😉

Fourth, and probably the one I had the most absolute fun with was poking fun at people. Back when 3DCommune was a much livelier place, we used to get very silly in the forums. So I tended to take that information and use it against people, in the nicest possible way of course. 😀 I’m pretty sure all these guys loved the 3DCommune male fashion show. I know all the ladies did!

It’s not the best art, sometimes the subject isn’t pleasant, but it gives me a way to let those feelings out and I think that’s important. At least I can more or less get the feeling across now. When I was new to 3d art I had more frustration than success. Still, it has helped me to cope over the years. I’m not that articulate verbally or in writing but hopefully I’m becoming better at it with my art.
