Inspiration

  So we are suppose to talking about our surroundings and environment and how they inspire us. In order to do that we will have to take a quick tour of my house.

   This is my living room, a noticeable feature is that we have no TV, my two roommates and I decided to opt out of cable because we don't even watch it that much and we have the whole internet at our disposal. I have a netflix account and that's basically all the TV I need. So we use this room to hang out, play board games (my hobby is collection them), or do homework. It's nice and cozy and very relaxed.



     This is my bedroom, it's what you call an organized mess. I have my certain spots for everything but it's all in a pile. I have posters from movies that dot my walls. I'm a big movie fan and I'm actually applying to film school out in California for my masters degree (fingers crossed). This posters not only remind me of my favorite movies but they also remind of my goal. Where I want to be in four years time. My HDTV is used mainly in conjunction with my laptop. I have an adapter that lets my hookup my Macbook Pro to my TV via HDMI, then you throw a small set of computer speakers on each side and you have a nice setup (and HDMI doesn't do audio out).

 
      The wallpaper on my computer is from Bill Watterson's "Calvin and Hobbes". I snagged the wallpaper from here and all credit goes to the creator(s) of the wallpaper. The wallpaper reminds me to never fully grow up and keep using my imagination to make sure I never take life too seriously.

     I think a better source of inspiration that I have, probably the most influential, are the video games I play and the TV shows I watch. I'm a huge fan of the Cartoon Network show "Adventure Time with Finn and Jake". I love the art style and the sense of humor the show has, and it's pretty awesome. That's one of the reaosns I love cartoons so much, sometimes you have to create a whole universe using a certain art style, it's hard to be more creative than that. The same goes for the video games I play. Games like TF2 with it's "Incredibles-esque" mixed with 1950's impressionist art. It's hard to explain unless you see it in motion but it is quite (objectively) beautiful.
