I had some inspiration this morning when passing a Shepard Fairey street art mural on my way into the office. After being a staple in our neighborhood for a couple years, I started to see it fade and become less visible based on the age to the art in its urban form. As I could see the art as it is now a bit tattered, it is still amazing, and inspirational. I started to reflect on my day, with this inspiration and started thinking about how it related to me.
Being inspired by others is something that art can do.
I look at creativity and innovation and see the various artists in this space and wonder why they are so different than innovators in business and entrepreneurship? They both look to create something "new" and in some cases "improved" from what has been done in the past.
Currently I have really started to think about design and have been working with sketches or a mock-up drawings for some new products that are really electrifying. The way that this product has began to take "life" and grow has led me to some reflection as how I can replicate this environment for others that need to be "inspired" by bringing art and creativity into the process.
I will soon be sharing more....
Until then I really wonder how you can use art as a way to inspire the rest of your day....
