Inspirational Overload.

I've been looking around on the web at a variety of sites to get INSPIRED. I hope that they inspire you as they have me. The first set of images comes from the website "Don't Fuck With Robots". My friend Meredith showed it to me. Robots are fun to look at. Unfortunately, the artists responsible for the imagery aren't properly credited so I don't know who did them. Click on images to make them bigger!My friend Sarah stumbled upon this guy, Brock Davis, and his website from 2009. His goal was to make something cool everyday in 2009. The stuff he came up with was AWESOME. The titles are especially witty and clever. It's neat to see how he utilized the spaces around him to create really cool things and the way he combines graphic elements to make his art. A few of my favorites are: fencing, working late, xylophone, and arcade expressionism (my personal favorite).And last, but certainly not least, Meredith (formerly mentioned), posted about this really cool site called Well Medicated. There's a lot of inspirational things on there such as "50 Amazing Gig Posters Sure to Inspire". No sneak peaks on that one! Just head to the website and check it out (though I will say the Vampire Weekend poster near the end is my all time fave; not ONLY because NOSFERATU is in it). In order to make art, one must be inspired by the world around them.

Great post Chelsea.

What I find wonderful about the internet is the ability to so easy look at other artists work. So much inspiration at our fingertips!

...by the way, suddenly I find myself really wanting to draw a robot.
