One more reason to fear ‘creative’ agencies

Good advice from abeautifulmess…

When you feel really inspired, drop everything and work!
A good idea is often gone the next morning.

Make inspiration a priority.
This means that if you have a favorite band, a favorite magazine or a favorite blog you make time for it, guilt free! small breaks for inspiration are always worth it when followed by a good creative workday!

Surround yourself with positive people.
Find the people in your life who love you AND your work and make you feel really good about what you are doing. avoid negative people during busy work times!

Make friends with other artists you admire.
This is a must! friends in your industry will keep your inspired and challenged.

Find a new obsession as often as you need to.
Obsessions keep me so inspired. find little things that you can fancy that make your day and cause you to think in a new direction.

Loving these photos…

Photographer Lothar Schmid has a really sharp eye. All of his shots look meticulously detailed with perfect clarity. The fact that he gets to work with beautiful models and actresses doesn't hurt either. Collected here are a few of my favorite shots from his portfolio.
