some people think kitsch is offensive and others think nitsch is intensive - still more think that nietszche's corrosive, but i think that 'p' is a plosive. ++ http://www.burningclown.com Everyone's Portal to Nothing At All ++
RE: FLUXLIST: Inspiration
hey sol, been there. maybe the time of year. perhaps this may help. it's a bit geeky but pretty cool... google+amazon http://www.kokogiak.com/amazon/ while you there query 'The Art of Looking Sideways'. Flick to any page and you'll find something interesting. at least a few hours of quirky inspiration. or maybe take out your flux address book and post someone something. if all else fails look up at the clouds and see something. send us the pics and we can see things too! hth:b --- On Thu 07/11, Sol Nte [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:From: Sol Nte [mailto: s.e.nte@k! eele.ac.uk]To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]Date: Thu, 11 Jul 2002 12:10:35 +0100Subject: FLUXLIST: InspirationHi all,I have, in recent weeks/months felt that artistic inspiration has departedfrom my head...don't seem to do much at all...has anyone got anyexercises/tips for what they do to re-inspire themselves?cheers,Sol.Join Excite! - http://www.excite.comThe most personalized portal on the Web!

Re: FLUXLIST: inspiration
now that the smoke from the fires has lifted the stargazing here at 7000+ feet is excellent. btw does anyone know why the interactive cd that came with bowie's 'heathen' doesnt work? i downloaded shockwave which it said it required and i have no trouble downloading mp3. this is the first cd i have purchased with this sort of thing and i was looking forward to seeing what it does. expecting the new computer to do everything. i can listen to it though; it has a cut he does with moby and i read that moby is on tour with him. bowie has always been inspiring for me and this new cd is somewhat reminiscent of older stuff like 'space oddity', his voice is holding up and seems better than ever to me. but then i'm a fan. bests, carol NP: 'heroes', david bowie [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: a couple of weeks ago i was at an astro bed and breakfast east of tucson. despite the fires and one cloudy night it was among the better stargazing i've ever experienced. but even there, the nuclear-strength headlights from MILES away on the horizon gave me a pain. what to do. g On Sun, 14 Jul 2002 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I live where its foggy all the time - I have the same problem with the stars. you sound like you need to get out of the city.

Better Homes and Gardens magazines from the mid 50s through the early 70s. Lot's of 'em. Also, old books about pet care (any pet except tarantulas). If all else fails, tarot cards. If that fails (and it usually does), plant yourself in front of a TV for 3 or 4 hours. love, Badger (reknown for her dubious advice) Girl -- From: Sol Nte [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: FLUXLIST: Inspiration Date: Thu, Jul 11, 2002, 7:10 AM Hi all, I have, in recent weeks/months felt that artistic inspiration has departed from my head...don't seem to do much at all...has anyone got any exercises/tips for what they do to re-inspire themselves? cheers, Sol.
Re: FLUXLIST: Inspiration
Hi Meryl, Better Homes and Gardens magazines from the mid 50s through the early 70s. Lot's of 'em. Also, old books about pet care (any pet except tarantulas). If all else fails, tarot cards. If that fails (and it usually does), plant yourself in front of a TV for 3 or 4 hours. Never seen Better Homes and Gardens magazine but have some old pet care books for unusual pets (e.g. crocodiles, just bought the book but never found anywhere selling crocodiles :( ) published by TFH Publications I think, very cool. TV, well I've already done that...not very inspiring though...yesterday I even watched a re-run of Magnum PI (11.00am every weekday channel 5, for any UK fluxlisters currently working from home, unemployed etc. and wanting to relive Tom Selleck's moustache-based detective magic)...although I decided not to switch over for Quincy once it had finishedseems that whilst we're in 2002 TV land is circa 1981 and Glen A .Larson is king. Although having said that this is still way better than the drivel they make now. Interestingly there seems to be some transatlantic cross-pollenation drivel-wise as I saw a show called the Frontier House which apparently was made because the US fanbase for the 1900 house (back in time TV to middle class England with servants circa 1900, good reminder why we should still be interested in class struggle..anyway) was so huge. Tarot, well I have a set but they freaked me out a little about 14 years ago and I haven't used them since, just in case. cheers, Sol.
Re: FLUXLIST: Inspiration
Yes. My advice is do something (non-art) new to get your juices flowing. I get artist head when I'm in a slump where I feel guity or mad taht I'm not making art, and then channel my ennergies into that instead of, uh, making some art. Doing something else entirely can light the spark. Go bowling, or to the track or something. do something out of character. I've had a hard time making any art ever since Maya was born (13 months) At first it was time restraints and then inertia took over. but right now, I am shopping around for scooters and I think I'm going to get a Honda Metropolitan (any scooter people here who can advise me on matters, plese reply off-list) and the resulting giddiness is really recharging me. Don't force it, you turn art into a chore then Alex From: Sol Nte [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi all, I have, in recent weeks/months felt that artistic inspiration has departed from my head...don't seem to do much at all...has anyone got any exercises/tips for what they do to re-inspire themselves? cheers, Sol.

In the same category I like old 30s-50s mags on DIY stuff like Popular Mechanics. On another front Sol how abut going to a discount import store or a tag sale and looking for art materials I often find that just looking through such collections give me thoughts even if it is not for/ with any of the specifics. For a similar supply of stuff on the web try American Scientific and Surplus http://www.sciplus.com/ Another interesting site by a group of artists (2) who are always doing interesting stuff is M.River T.Whid Art Associates' online artwork at http://www.mteww.com/ Make sure to check out the new project of doing updates to classic works from the 60s and 70s Owen

I am taking an art class right now and the instructor says to paint anyway. I myself have been painting so long that its not about inspiration its just about doing it--go to the museum and get inspired from fellow artists!
