Muse please?
Okay here's the thing. I'm totally stuck on ideas for anything creative, be it Craft working, drawing, doing something on GIMP or just simply creative writing. I think with having a baby it's took all my inspiration from me. I love her to bits, granted. But in no means do I feel like that she has inspired me. It's as if I see her as a chore, and to me, I find that really sad.
Also, as Ed himself can be creative, he's a TOTAL perfectionist. A piece of artwork, if he is doing the art, HAS to look 100% otherwise he gets wound up, and that's the defeatist in him. I also find this sad, but Ed has an obsessive personality disorder, somewhat.
Am telling you guys this because I know most of you on here are creative, on different levels, from Steph to Johnny. So, I hope that you guys can give me some inspiration I need. I seriously need it, no joke, otherwise I feel that I will go insane. Call it pathetic, or say that it's just apart of my bipolar disorder, but this really makes me want to cry. Writers block to me isn't funny.

there are some cool excerises I guess, there was some crazy art site by friend used to go to it was like every day or so they came up with some random words and you had to draw something based on it, very interesting stuff, some of it was very creative and some jaw droppingly zomgz. I don't even draw and I found it inspiring, I'll have a quick look see if I can remember.

Saracasm is dependant on context and tone, so yeah, single sentances are always gonna be just great for getting that across.

just saw the topic.
Movies.
the older the better.
music.
it can help you get inspiration if you have none
and it can help polish an idea you already have. I like to try and keep it in theme tho. ie the lyrics follow or can be stretched to follow a certain theme.
another good thing is just to surrond youself with the things your after.
dunno why it works, osmosis or somthing.
but once you soak that shit in, BOOM, you cant help but output similar quality/theme stuff.
wanna draw like peter Cheung?
watch Aeon or Reign for 2 days.
on day 3, 4 and 5 you'll puttin out Cheung style by accident.
gotta be careful with it tho. cuzz it works too well.
I watched anime for a year about 8 years ago. and my attn to detail decreased dramaticly and it was hard as hell to shake it.
thank god for greg cappullo's spawn comics.
so dont go watching too much dragon ball z....
unless you want to.
worst case scenario and your completely out of ideas....
go find something you like and redo it.
you should see the Johnny Kaos version of LOTR.
