INSPIRATION

www.clownsgonebad.com is the brainchild of the talented Deena Aziz.
CGB is a professional, not-for-profit theatre company that develops and produces new works for the stage. In developing these works the company uses experimental rehearsal processes and innovative creation techniques. CGB is committed to the idea of art as a force for social change and the pursuit of excellence, beauty, and laughter. This work ethic is successfully embodied in such productions as MOCSHPLAT and UMLOUT. If you get a chance to see a Clowns Gone Bad show Go it's a real treat.

www.turtleshell.com -- THE TURTLESHELL STORY is Joen Asmussen's beautiful gift to websurfers worldwide. Turtleshell was created as an experiment in digital storytelling on the Internet. The symbolism is inspired by ancient Hindu mythology, in which the world is being carried by a giant turtle. Joen is a Danish design student who spent a year creating the project. Whenever I have a creative block I will often visit the site. Simple and unassuming I find that its aural and visual elements have a meditative effect that permit me to dream.
Truly worth the visit.

www.brucemaudesign.com-- BRUCE MAU Is a Canadian cross discipline designer. His book "Lifestyles" documents his creative process and his studio practice. Full of playful and critical statements about visual and cultural trends that influence today's media-driven context. The book is a hefty volume better read in short snippets rather then in one sitting.
His "Incomplete Manifesto for Growth" is worth the visit. With its simple yet deeply inspiring quotes the manifesto brings me back to the basics of creating and reminds me that it is essential that I allow myself to rediscover my own unique voice and nurture it.

I recommend visiting Mau's manifesto. Its 40 short quotes will without a doubt offer insight to creators of all disciplines.

www.rivertrout.com is a library of letters dedicated to bringing art to the web by giving an old craft a new meaning: the writing of literary, beautifully-worded letters enhanced by powerful images, great design and the ubiquity and interaction of the Internet. Rivertrout believes that letters are a perfect metaphor for the universe, a world where anything can happen, anything can be told, felt, and expressed in an artistic fashion.

Rivertrout is a collaborative effort and they strongly encourage readers to submit original content for publication on the site. But they do have a few rules. So if you fancy yourself a good writer of letters submit your work or simply enjoy reading the letters of others

www.veralittle.com-- Vera Little is one special woman. Both her sites veralittle.com and homunculus at trajectorymedia.com are the creation of this very talented, resourceful, and courageous young woman.

THE VERA LITTLE MEDIA PROJECT is a quest for glamour through a journey of self-exploitation. The project is fueled by her determination to remain a divine goddess, a movie starlet, a space queen, and a cyber princess, despite the impracticalities and unflattering lighting of real life. In 1993 Vera had to have all her fingers and both her feet amputated.

HOMUNCULUS is about the process of making art. The site is her digital design, sculpture, and animation portfolio. Its home for her work journal and webcam.
Vera has been a powerful source of inspiration both creatively and personally.

www.joecartoon.com-- specializes in the sick and warped and is home of the Frog in a Blender, Gerbil in the Microwave, Joefish, Nanna Hooter and more humor for the twisted.

WARNING: This site is most certainly lacking in maturity and has absolutely no redeeming qualities whatsoever. If you are easily offended, please enter for your offhandedness will no doubt bring him great pleasure. I personally do not endorse the values or rather lack of values represented on this site. However I would be lying if I did not admit to also having at times a very warped sense of humor and some of Joe's Cartoons do make me laugh. And a good laugh is very healthy. So suspend disbelief and enjoy the stupidity.

www.thetruthiswhatyoubelieve.com -- Well frankly it is a little difficult to describe this site except to say that it seems to be a puzzling, ghostly, interactive journey into the creator's rather odd world. This is a quote from his bio.
"After inventing the plastic cork in 1973 (known in the cork community as the 'Pork' Kurt once again entered the high tech community full of vigor and ideas. Many ideas still percolate in Kurt's vital 99-year-old brain and await an audience savvy enough to comprehend their significance. Kurt resides in North Africa with his dog and enjoys stimulating telepathic dinner conversation with the corpse of ex-patriot Paul Bowles."
Well you be the judge,
