food pics!

in college, inspiration was a huge topic of conversation. as an artist of any kind, you need to be inspired. it is that first critical step in the design/art making process. it is very hard to create work (of any kind, much less beautiful work) without having that spark of an idea, something that makes you go "oh! i love _______, i want to do/make/paint/draw something like that" and then in a tornado of excitement the work can kind of pour out of you. this is on a very good, highly motivated day, mind you.

personally, i find inspiration everywhere. from food, to fashion, interior design, graphics and typography, nature and gardens, photography...its all over. to help reign in the images i find that inspire me, mood boards are helpful. this started in college as a way to express an idea for a collection of prints and now at my job i pretty much do exactly the same thing. since i have a few folders of over a thousand inspiring images, it helps to organize everything. (which, i have not done. completely. or really at all when it comes to filing these images. its a project i need to start!)

here are some delicious and beautiful pics i have come across in the last several years. i don't have specific "cite" info for them, but all were found on pinterest.com, ffffound.com, or creaturecomfortsblog.com
