Deluge
December 1st, 2008There will be a flood of posts in the next few months as I clear out my “Inspiration” bookmarks folder in Firefox.
I subscribe to a whole bunch (I know it’s not a very correct or high brow collective term, but I do like it) of RSS feeds like Drawn! The Illustration and Cartooning Blog, Ticklebooth, Susan Lamuto’s Daily Art Muse, Coilhouse Magazine, Frankie Magazine, CraftStylish … and the list will probably keep growing. Whenever I encountered things in these feeds that took my fancy; inspirational images or animations, tutorials, encouragement, advice — I added them to my “Inspiration” folder.
Now I have an enormous number of these bookmarks, and it’s getting hard to search through them, let alone remember what they were about. So I thought I’d add them as posts, with a picture and a link, and sometimes a little commentary (searches thesaurus for new words to use besides “love” and “inspiring” and “awesome”).
That way you’ll get to enjoy them too, and I’ll have a filing system, of sorts, that I can turn to for a little boost when I’m visited by those dark thoughts that go, “My mind is blaaaaaank! Halp!” or “I can’t …”.
