Lil Wayne Calls Kobe Bryant His Inspiration In Music, Life
2012-05-10 11:46:00 'I believe he's the greatest player to touch a basketball,' Wayne says of the basketball great.By Rob Markman Lil Wayne Photo: Kevin Winter/ Getty Images Lil Wayne is a known sports nut, and with this year's NBA playoffs in full swing, the Cash Money Billionaire is in all his glory. Weezy's favorite team are the L.A. Lakers and his favorite player is, of course, the great Kobe Bryant. When Tunechi attended the Lakers' home game against the Denver Nuggets on Tuesday night, he told the L.A. Times that he draws a great deal of inspiration from #24. "He's inspired not only songs, but he's inspired me in life in general, just the way he attacks things, the way he never backs down, the way he fights through injury," said Tha Carter IV MC. "Not only [does] he fight through injury, and not only do he play through injury, he excel through injury. I take those type of things and I just apply them to my everyday life." This season alone the basketball megastar has excelled o...

Steve Jobs' Words of Inspiration
2012-02-09 12:33:00 Of the 300 million Apple ipods sold (as on October 2011), I happen to use one. This had been my only connection with Steve Jobs so far. A video on Youtube changed my perception of Jobs.Apart from being the game changer in the electronic entertainment industry, Steve Jobs also had a deep, uncanny philoso-phical outlook on life that combined ancient truths with personal observations and experiences. Experiences that were far from what one would expect for a top achiever like him.Many of us may be unaware that his early life was full of hardships and uncertainties. Startlingly, here was a man who was given away by his biological mother to a childless couple, a man who had to drop out of college because he didn't want to study on his parents' hard earned money--but look at what he became, what he achieved. Stupendous!Here's Steve Jobs' Stanford 2005 commenc-ement address:_______________________-_______________________________-_____________________________Wa-nt targete...

Creativity & inspiration from 2 year olds
2012-02-02 16:20:00 Some of you reading this might know that I have a set of twins, if not, now you do. Each week we receive cutesy things our kids make, some get recycled and others are put away on a shelf for safe keeping. The day these showed up I developed a huge smile on my face. It of course was a mix of proud dad and the joy of seeing my offspring create but it also light a fire under me to get off my butt and get back to things that I have set aside over the years since art school. If my 2 year old twins can work with paint, what is stopping me from doing the same? Its funny how simple kids working with acrylic can start an internal drive that pushed me to get back into oil on canvas, drawing with charcoal & graphite, playing my drums more often and shooting more photos each day. It’s been fun getting my hands dirty with the materials I use to work in everyday while in college, I really miss that. Looking back at the time between then and now, I am constantly kicking myself f...

DID JIM JONES BITE?
2012-01-23 18:37:00 It's no secret that the fashion world and the commercial music scene share lots of commonalities. For one, both industries are as competitive as they come. Add in a melting pot of movers and players that are constantly creating and exchanging, and you'll realize how relatively easy it is for the line between inspiration and cloning blur. Which leads us to the following story between winter drygoods brand, Psyberia, and Harlem-based rapper, Jim Jones (The Diplomats).

Journeys and inspiration
2011-10-26 15:41:00 I am following the blog of photographer Martin Middlebrook, currently based in Kabul. Martin has upped sticks from his regular life, including friends and family in the UK, to experience, document and raise awareness of life in Afghanistan. I can?t even imagine visiting this country much less photographing there, but reading Martin?s blog I am entranced and captivated and already have experienced a sense of the country and the people, and importantly, Martin?s journey, through his writing and photography. As a developing photographer, my key priority at the moment is taking better pictures. However, to get there, technically, emotionally and physically, these needs all tussle with each other on a daily basis. My journey doesn?t involve guns and overhead Black Hawk helicopters, but it does get impacted by the weather, bureaucracy and money. It is fundamentally underpinned by that one source of driving inspiration and that end goal that keeps us all moving forward, whatever it may be ...
Decorex 2011 ? Blog Tour Kitchen Inspiration
2011-10-24 23:49:00 As part of the fabulous Blog Tour 2011 group, founded by Veronika Miller of the equally fabulous Modenus.com -website, our trip to Decorex, part of the London Design Festival, was simply fantastic, end of story. The creativity and innovation was such a joy to experience. Another type of joy was to see the way that classics, that is, materials or design, were updated to create a new aesthetic, a new definition of classic as well as modern. THAT experience = inspiration. Here are some kitchen design elements that I found interesting at Decorex. Below, cabinetry by Woodstock – who doesn’t love that name? Of course, the star is the fresh color, but I love the function too and the height of this taller cabinet. Below, also from Woodstock, the cool mix of light and dark neutrals. Notice, too, the subtlety of the rounded moldings. Love. Backsplash and styling – needs some love… Below, gorgeous Dominic-Schuster mirror – could be a backsplash or...

When You?re in Need of Inspiration
2011-07-31 07:03:00 All creative types run into creative blocks at one time or another -- that's a given. But what we do to break through those blocks can vary from person to person.

A Musical Inspiration
2011-06-29 23:17:00 Chicago public schools have been cutting a lot of academic programs from their curriculum due to lack of funding. A lot of these programs are in the arts and culture study of our kids schools. Programs such as physical education, art studies and music have all been cut substantially. As a parent, I felt that this should not be happening. I would like my child to learn arts and culture. Especially music. Music is an essential part of everyone's lives,especially kids. As babies, music tends to flow through them naturally. From making noises with their mouths to playing with a toy that has the ability to make sounds, babies are making music whether it's understandable or not. As babies...

Chicago creatives searching for inspiration need only go to Pecha Kucha nig
2011-06-07 23:22:00 The headline says it all, really. Pecha Kucha Chicago hosts it's 18th "volume" tonight, June 7. Those of you who are new to the events, Pecha Kucha comes from the Japanese term of "chit-chat" and is based on sharing creative ideas from several speakers in rapid succession. Think of speed-dating for creative people using slides, with a 6 minute 40 second time limit, or 20 seconds per slide, for each speaker. Topics can range from technology, art, architecture, urban planning and more, and the speakers are in the "creative" industry. The idea behind Pecha Kucha has been around a while, and is has a presence in most major cities. The reason behind their popularity probably comes from they way it manages to inspire others' creative ideas, which is...

It's difficult to be optimist in this economy. Yet, this is a time to be thankful for our friends, family and our health. One of my favorite writers was Erma Bombeck.
