In my long experience working with artists across all media, one of the things that I've found the most rewarding is discovering their inspirations, which often lead to new creative ideas of my own.
So I thought I'd ask Kbin, what inspires you? Is it a piece of music? A novel? A poem? A picture? A philosophy? A spiritual text? What lifts your soul to song? A software? A science? A symphony?
What gets your creative juices flowing?
Full disclosure - I am the mod of @13thFloor, which is dedicated to engaging the creative spirit. Your inspirations and creativity are more than welcome there as well.
Movies I don't like but haven't seen before. It lets my mind wander.
Nice - I do this with the original MST3K episodes - the combo of bad movie, absurdity, and robot commentary hits that sweet spot where I can ignore the film, but still be sparked by the dialogue.
