“Inspiration is the most valuable commodity for an artist; it is for me anyway. I can't move forward in any way if I don't feel a strong spark of excitement or creativity. Sometimes it is very difficult to get things flowing. It's important to be in a peaceful state of mind, and then I invite the spirits to come into the studio. I don't stare into a blank canvas or paper. I look through my various collections of books, toys, statues, photographs and other things, and something will trigger an idea. My studio is packed full of things that inspire me.” MindImportantBookSometimesInspirationMovingSpiritArtistStrongDifficultCreativityInspirePhotographVariousValuableMoving ForwardPeacefulStaringExcitementState Of MindCanvasCommodityBlank Canvas Author:Mark Ryden
“I find it so much easier to be creatively free at night. Daytime is for sleeping. Nighttime is the best time for making art. The later at night it gets the further into another world you go.” WorldArtNightTimeSleepCreativityEasierPainterAnother WorldBest TimesDaytimeNighttimeNight Time Author:Mark Ryden
