Chinese artist  Jun.C makes stunning portraits of safety pins. He bends them and places them in ordinary settings so that they look convincingly like people. You can see more photos from the series at the link.

So, go put on your Art Clothes because Tip #3 is coming up from out new list~
3. Create an idea treasure chest
Collect images from magazines, quotes, postcards, etc. This can be anything that will stimulate future work. Store them in a way that makes them easy to get at.It’s an amazing experience to open your treasure chest of ideas and rediscover things that previously excited or inspired you. Maybe you weren’t ready for them when you found them and put them in the box but you might be ready for one or more of the ideas now.I love the feeling of going into my treasure chest—it’s like opening a gift from a loving friend who really “gets” you and what your art is about.When you have actual things you can handle in your treasure box, it’s a lot easier than trying to recall ideas or start from scratch. You’ll remember ideas that you had previously, and recall why you chose the objects or see new connections that you missed before.




There, that made you so happy you can fly!
