Hello all of my creative friends who are out there on the web and looking for ways to help jump-start those ideas for you artwork. I have read creativity books and have always been interested in how a person cultivates a creative soul. So I am planning, if life doesn't get in the way to give a creative tip each to stir up your inspiration.

Let's get started with our first creative tip for the week!

-Go through your stack of magazines and pull out photos that interest you. (I love to use National Geographic since the photos are so cool.) I want you to start keeping file folders of images. People, animals, buildings, artwork, landscapes, and other topics you can think of.

I have file folders of all different types of images if I get stuck and need some visual stimulation. I sit down every few months with all of my art and general magazines and have a “tear out” session. Then I recycle the magazines after I have butchered them. (A very Earth friendly activity)

Have fun!!!
