Cherubic Meekus:
Chris Ware…the pulchritudinous imagery that
he produces really draws emphasis to the virtuosity of the form. He’s a genius
and deserves as much recognition as Art Speilgman {sic}.
style="font-weight: bold;">From The Cheesy Weasel:
/>
without a doubt, one of my latest greatest source of inspiration has been
wooster collective (like many other artists..). But an even greater source of
inspiration is the artistic ignorance of the people in the country i
live in (Malta). These people are so unadventurous and conventional
that they manage to inspire me to do stuff which goes against all of what they
believe in (crappy art, classic art, religious art
etc..http://www.carnegiemuseums.org/cmag/bk_issue/1998/novdec/feat6.htm”).
Therefore my art is always is a form of statement or retaliation against Malta’s
art scene. (other inspirational people are my favourite artist Mark Rothko and
Christopher

From
Susan:
The financial
district at night. It’s time to paint some night scene of the guards watching TV
in those big marble lobbies. In a world of chaos that image fills me with a
sense of permanence and certainty…
From Nose in Phili:
Lately I’ve been inspired by the
works of D-Face and Flying Fortress, and the whole concept of using
characters.

style="font-weight: bold;">From Mike:
Lately I am inspired
with the idea of trying to reverse preconcieved notions that we have about
certain styles and media in art. Most people now accept that a spraypaint tag on
a dumpster can be fine art. I think that fewer artists accept the corollary,
that a watercolor painting of flowers can have all the oomph and grit associated
with street art. Above is watercolor landscape painting of Zion National
Park.

style="font-weight: bold;">From Murten in Belgium:
I’m mostly
inspired by artists with major guts like Banksy and TLP. I also went to TLP’s
show in Belgium (Brussels) the other day. Well, anyway, I create most of my
stuff because it makes me feel better and I love it how people can look at it
and really show that they like it, but then dissaprove it because it’s on
someone else’s property. (the governments property, I don’t spray on peoples
houses)

/>From AESK47:
Lately…my
town is what inspires me the most…Montreal is waking up after a long and harsh
winter…So on sundays i grab my Ipod and i walk down mont-royal street while
listening to “where i’m from” from de Digable Planets and i feel really really
happy…and then i arrive to the tam-tams and i hang out with my friends for the
day!!! Above is a photo of the Tam-tams wich are held every sundays on the Mount
Royal…
From rybo:
/>much inspiration from the fucked up taggings of
href="http://www.blogger.com/www.fotolog.net/lifer">LIFER 1986 aka SuCKLuNG
the kids killing the northeast (boston, providence, western ma…) and
supposedly spreading out (new york, philly, georgia, florida…) found a few
pics on fotolog run by a kid who digs the shit also, apparently….found that he
has quite a few pieces of work including canvases, spray cans, bottles and
handmade stickers, in a store in western mass called NOW HERE FAST that carries
graff supplies, artwork and some nice
clothes. check it or wreck it but im
loving the fine line of

From roughe:
/>This little girl above… ‘Liliana Rose’. She inspires me more than anything
lately…
From LoseLose:
/>
What inspires me this week is the unending pursuit of reaching the end
of human understanding, perception and consciousness, discovering the beauty
there, and bringing it back and displaying it for those that might not be able
to see it on their own.
