Whenever the question of what inspires me arises I don’t know what to say. As children we all have huge imaginations. We can take a few rudimentary things and in our minds create something fantastic. It never mattered if things looked accurate or right technically as long as we could tell what it was. I incorporate that aspect into some of my own work. Mainly I do sculpture but even today there is no rhyme or reason to what I do. I am inspired by things in everyday life and I use whatever might be lying around let it be wood, clay, wire, glass, or what have you. I like to make things that are different and interesting to look at even if they are weird or bizarre.

One artist that I look to for inspiration in my own work is a sculptor known as Red nose. Red nose does quite a bit of figure work. However, one thing that is cool about red nose’s work is that his figures aren’t necessarily proportionally accurate but they are very cool.

Here is a link so you can check out his stuff. Its kind of weird stuff but I think his technique is pretty sweet.
