Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery - Charles Caleb Colton
The only art I'll ever study is the stuff I can steal from - David Bowie. I love this quote as I feel like it is so applicable to any artist/designer/creative - I love being inspired by different things and using it to influence my own work.

Quote
'Never in my life have I wanted to be cool. I'm too warm for cool, I'm too in love with it all to act apathetic. I look around at sunsets and flowers and lovers and my soul is on fucking fire. I'm on fire with my passion and wonder and laughter and culture. Why the fuck would I want to cool down?'
'It is both a blessing and a curse to feel everything so deeply.'

Miscellaneous
festivals, photography, travelling, music
After listing my inspirations I can clearly see that I don't have a favourite painting, sculpture or painting - so I need to expand my interests and explore more.
After this exercise we gathered everyone's inspirations under each category. I loved looking at other people's favourites as I love collecting and noting down new designers etc, I especially do this with music/songs and I would love to put this more into practice in other aspects too.
