Inspiration

"Doctor and the Doll", Norman Rockwell

Norman Rockwell is by and far the best illustrator I have ever known. His colours, his immense artistic skill, his fresh caricatures of life and his terrific selection of subject matter never cease to impress me. He is able to create a space on the canvas that feels more than real, that has more life in it than any purely observational work could achieve.

"Winter Sun", Bob Ross

I couldn't find a better quality image of this one. While Bob Ross is limited in his subject matter (mountains, reflections and happy little trees), I still find his paintings engaging. He knows where to put colours to balance out the palette, and he knows how to block out planes and depth very convincingly, he knows how to string together a natural composition. He knows how to imitate the randomness of nature. 

"Tyrion in King's Landing", Marc Simonetti

I always like to see a city that goes up a hill like this. It gives a feeling of smallness and the intrigue of adventure, being able to see so many potential nooks and alleyways. I also like this kind of architecture, old european fairytale buildings. Skyscrapers make me weep with boredom.

"Random Stuff", Tony Holmsten

I love seeing structures that no one would ever build. Terraces jutting out of mountains or cities built in the water or in the sky. Especially when the artist chooses to include details like overhanging moss, suggesting the structures are ancient. Ancient things tickle the imagination.

I don't know where this photo came from. It's not a creative thing to set up a shot like this, looking through overpasses down a straight path, but it sure looks nice. It makes me think of walking at sunrise in the crisp misty morning air with a full day of possibilities ahead.
