Words from Josua Davis...
"I believe that inspiration and ideas are never on short supply - I think it's a matter of disciplining yourself to see things differently every time... no matter how mundane or familiar the situation might be.
For example... When I moved to New York 1992 I had never ridden a subway. I was in total enlightenment that I got to take this underground rollercoaster (the closest thing comparable to the feeling I had) everyday for $1.25. However over a period of a few months I become like every other New Yorker, half asleep on the train as it merely takes me from point A. to point B. How did something so exciting become so mundane ?
Complacency. I had closed my eyes to seeing this experience like I did for the first time.
So... there are a million little scenarios, movements, forms, paths, and systems at play all around us - I've just gotten really good at seeing things, writing them down, assessing the limitations of the technology I use and trying to recreate them."

I got suspended at high school for making a fake ID. One of my earliest practical excursions into graphic design.
still can't believe I was dumb enough to get caught!

Great response Blackspade - I agree - complacency can be one of the hugest creative-killers, but it also gives one an opportunity to have amazing realisations, which may not have come about unless you had become almost mundanely comfortable in a situation.
- blackspade0
yea its exactly how i feel
u need to constantly be aware of your surroundings
the art of looking sideways

The best inspirations are always away from computers/tv/media.
Go sit in the middle of an island with nothing but the sky and ocean around you. You'll live about a few weeks but you'll come up with some awesome ideas!

ya know Mick - you are right on the money. I always find myself most creative when in an uncluttered peaceful environment - namely a long empty beach or high up a mountain.
word to that.
