What inspires me most?

Posted by erin on July 4th, 2008 filed in Inspiration

That’s easy - almost everything. There are days I recall when I can honestly claim that to be true. Everything I look at seems to spark emotion and a genuine and consuming desire to capture and expound upon it.

  • Six o’clock sunlight draped across any man made or natural element gets my attention every time.
  • Always, ALWAYS, Always watching Rent!
  • Cirque Du’ Soliel
  • Elton John
  • The Beatles
  • Van Gogh’s drawings
  • Moby
  • Coldplay
  • The piano, cello, or violin
  • Winslow Homer
  • Morphine (the band not the drug)
  • Floyd (of course)
  • my husband and loving family
  • God and His amazing graces
  • Need I go on?

Go and ahead and label me a tad eccentric and overly-dramatic, I’m past guilty. But I speak truths.

Believe it or not a full moon seems to feed my creativity like wildfire. The few days prior to the day of the full moon, I cannot be stopped. This has proven to be both a problem and wonder. But mostly it’s a fantastic outlet for me. I cannot sleep during this time, so it’s safe to say in four days I’d average 16 forced hours of sleep, at best. No, I’m not a werewolf.

What most inspires you?
