Being an artist sure does suck.

Especially when you want to create but can't find any inspiration. How annoying!

Yeah, that's the problem. Inspiration is nowhere to be seen today...

Whenever I needed inspiration to create music, I would just listen to something completely awesome that got my brain working and inspired me to create something equally amazing. Or on the other hand, something that was completely fucking terrible and inspired me to never suck that bad ever. I imagine it might work the same with art.

Inspiration and art always seem to me to be kind of random, so in an effort to inspire inspiration I sometimes do something random, like try basket weaving? But I guess in the end it's just really difficult to force it.

I just don't have any ideas. I used to just operate on the fly, without ideas, but then I tried coming up with ideas first and was so much more pleased with the results. I just don't have any plans.
I've thought about painting my mandalas so art world people will take it seriously, but that would be quite the undertaking. I'd have to quit my job and work on them as much as possible, and even then it could still take me a very long time to finish. Everything has to be precise, and painting & precision are very tricky when you try and put them together.

Alex Grey manages to do it somehow.. but that guy is not human as far as I'm concerned.. the amount of detail he can do with a paintbrush is like.. wow.

If it's any consolation, I think artists are doing some of the most important jobs out there. Seeing them add such beauty and depth to our world just makes me feel 
Good luck on encountering some sort of muse.

Why not create something with little inspiration? Dumb it down a little. Do some craft with out the message.
