"Art is an image-using system. In order to create, we draw from our inner well. This inner well, an artistic reservoir, is ideally like a well-stocked trout pond. We've got big fish, little fish, fat fish, skinny fish-- an abundance of artistic fish to fry. As artists, we must realize that we have to maintain this artistic ecosystem. If we don't give some attention to upkeep, our well is apt to become depleted, stagnant, or blocked. Any extended period of piece of work draws heavily on our artistic well. As artists we must learn to be self-nourishing. We must become alert enough to consciously replenish our creative resources as we draw on them-- to restock the trout pond, so to speak. I call this process filling the well. " 
​Julia Cameron

Because you will need to fill your soul with new material to inspire your creativity. Creativity is not born in a vacuum, I have curated videos about artists, interview, quotes, artworks, books and book reviews to keep your creative juices flowing.

Note: Don't be upset or disturbed by the way others present their art. And don't let something you don't like put you off - rather, dig deeper into whatever you don't like, and whatever does not sit well with you. Use it to push your own boundaries and though processes.

How about some Marc Chagall? I love the whimsical approach, the fact that he says it's all about love. His colours, his themes, and his imagination. And the way he juxtapositions his imaginings and sews them together.

Well, I still feel young - and I mean that in the sense of art. Still learning, still developing. I also admire her courage and vulnerability at the same time.

More advice - and sometimes not - for the young. Take what you want, when you need.

How about some Jean-Michel Basquiat? Youthful approach. Free. Authentic and raw, and deep at the same time. Love it.
