Art Inspiration
Sometimes artists get stuck and need a little inspiration. If you are stumped about what to create with your Wacom tablet, you can look at these typography examples. I'm a big fan of typography as art. When it is done really well, it looks clean and simple, but makes a strong impact.
Ji Lee, an artist at Google Creative Lab, decided to challenge himself by using the letters of words to describe the word.
For example, the word condom is spelled in a bold font with the "c" extended around the "ondom" to represent a simplistic and classy condom. Another word is "exit" where the X appears to be running towards an I that is made to look like a door. Both get the words meaing across so cleverly. Brilliant!

Art Inspiration!
I think I'm better off not assigning a day to be "Art Inspiration" day. I seemed to have missed last week and the week before was on Friday. So, from now on, I'm not sticking to a specific day even though it will most likely always be Monday.
Here are some examples of art that can only be created by getting out of the house (and if you have snow)! This kind of thing reminds me that I should occassionally step away from my Wacom tablet and computer and be creative outdoors!
First two images are of snow drawings by Sonja Hinrichsen. Last three 3d-looking pieces were made by Simon Beck.

Art Inspiration Wednesday (on Friday)!
I must admit that I had trouble being inspired this week and decided to focus on giving my office a huge overhaul. Before I knew it, Wednesday was over and then Thursday. I still feel a bit uninspired, but chose to focus my theme on Presidents in honor of President's day! Not the most exciting inspiration, I know. Sadly, I had a lot of trouble finding cool and unique art of presidents. The most I could find are of Obama, so don't think I'm trying to make any political statements with the following images. :)

Art Inspiration Wednesday!
I'm always inspired by what people can create from simple, everyday objects. I found the above photo (allthingspaper.net) on Pinterest.com and it made me wonder what other cool art made from books are out there. Surprisingly, a lot! I bet there are a lot of people who are outraged by the idea of cutting up books, but I just see it as a form of recycling. I know I definitely have a few books that would make better art pieces than reading material.
I love this! Clever way to give new life to old pulp novels. Art by Thomas Allen.
Another amazing piece! Art from CasaSugar.com

Art Inspiration Wednesday
I'm always inspired by the art and crafts people can make with their hands. It reminds me that I don't always need my Wacom tablet to create something great.

Art Inspiration Wednesday!
Yes, I know it’s Thursday, but I’ve been sick with whatever nasty bug seems to be going around. Good news is that I feel well enough to post some pictures!

Art Inspiration Wednesday!
I'm going on a cruise to Cozumel on Dec. 30th and had to add today's inspiration before the New Year. So, sadly, none of the following photos are mine. Hopefully my pictures will look as good as these!

Art Inspiration for Christmas
This was supposed to post on Dec. 21st, but didn't for some strange reason.
Christmas edition! Christmas is very near so I can’t help that it’s on my mind. I tried my best to find some non-traditional holiday art, but there is some traditional stuff thrown in too.

Art Inspiration Wednesday! on Wacom Tablet Reviews
I'm awake way too early and feel like a zombie. That's my inspiration for today's zombie art. Now I think I'll go have some brains for breakfast.
