Being an artist, I’m influenced by so many things. It’s the combination of these things that keeps my head thinking of all sorts of creative ideas that I can use on a daily basis.

Every once in a while however, we all run into major “creative block” and feel stuck and we’re not able to create new insightful work. Whenever we run into these blocks, it’s always helpful to be reminded of what inspires us.

I came across an influence map online the other day and decided to make my own. Influence maps can be made out of anything—artist’s work, music, paintings, movies etc. I suggest that everyone try making one of these, in case the ol creative block rears its ugly head.

What other ways do you keep your creativity in your industry flowing?

That’s pretty awesome. It got me thinking about what my map would look like :)

Cool post and a very interesting concept! I usually ignite a creative spark by hiking, biking, or experiencing the outdoors in some way/shape/form.
