my ideas and inspiration

this is a blog to go along with my art blog. i plan to post things that inspire me, help me to become a better artist, and reference pictures. in other words, lots of random things.

Note: I recently changed my url from my-ideas-and-inspiration to ofvisionsandcolor, so some of the links might not be working. If you see one, can you please let me know?


After three years of reading youtube comments, I found one that didn’t make me want to puke and kill myself. Some kid, talking to another kid underneath a music video: “first things first buddy, no matter how hard you try i guarantee you wont change the way anyone thinks or acts.” If I could put that thought in everyone’s head on a loop, I could save the world. But, like the kid says, I can’t.

"If you are always unhappy, you’re doing it wrong. If people don’t like you, but you wished they liked you, so your solution is to pretend you don’t wish they liked you, or that you don’t like them, you’re doing it wrong. If you hate everything; if you can’t even stop complaining about the things you LIKE, you’re doing it wrong. If you don’t know you’re right until you hear it from someone else, but you think you’re going to change the world, one of those two things has got to give."

"I think the most important thing you can know is that you want to be a part of all the other individuals. You don’t want to be alone. There’s a personality disorder for every single thing you can name under the sun. There are people who put entire jars of peanut butter up their butt. There are people who are sexually attracted to cats. But there is no one who wants to be alone."

Colmar, France was used as inspiration by Hayao Miyazaki for Howl’s Moving Castle. Yeah I think I’m just going to move and live there for the rest of my life.
