New York Inspiration

Open your eyes and your mind, and even something as neglected as walls with graffiti inspire ideas. One of our favorite artists, Jean-Michel Basquiet, started at a graffiti artist. He never veered much stylistically, often portraying messages of his heritage in a primitive style. He hit fame quickly and, and his struggles, was overcome by addition and died at 27. His legend live on in pieces at auction that go for tens of millions. When you think something isn't art, think again. Ideas are everywhere, if you're open to them.
