What inspires you these days?

What have you seen, heard thought about or dreamed about lately that sticks in your mind? It can be anything, art comes from anywhere :)

For me it's been art from Singapore. I'm currently a long ways away from Brooklyn, traveling through South East Asia to grow BAP on this side of the world and I'm mesmerized by all the work coming out of this area, especially Singapore.

We've got some talented artists from the area as BAP members and the emerging art scene there is really taking off. Here are some pics and links

I don't know if anyone else have witnessed this, but color smells of something artistic. that's what keeps me working.; ▶ Reply to This

I'm not quite awake nor asleep and whatever I was thinking about during the day begins to form an image. Often, it is based on interactions I have had with others during the course of the day.; ▶ Reply to This
