I think I forgot to make one of these last month (maybe for the last two?) but I do like sharing my flickr faves and this is the easiest way to do it.  There are some truly inspiring artists and photographers so here's a random sampling of some of my faves.  Hope you find some inspiration here!

New month, new inspiration mosiac from flickr over the last month.  I'm happy to share some of my faves.  You can click through on the links below if you want to see more from any of the artists.

July already!  Even though we're still waiting for some sign of summer here in Seattle (unlike the whole rest of the country!), I'm going to use my art to invoke summer now.  That's what it's for, right?  To express a feeling ---- I want to feel summer!  (ED: I had notes from several of you that the picture wasn't showing up - I reloaded it and it seems to be working.  Fingers crossed.)

by the numbers: April

This was fun to share last month, so thought I'd repeat it for April.  There are two recap things today as we start a new month (yikes, it's May already!)...my 'by the numbers' random tracking chart and a mosaic of my favorite flickr photos for April.  I love the Big Huge Labs mosaic maker...it's beyond easy AND includes all the links so I don't have to mess with it.  Perfect!

Here's my inspirational flickr mosaic that includes art from some of my fave folks (the thumbnails aren't the whole piece; it's worth clicking through if you see something intriguing):

1. The Sketchbook Project: Putting it All Together, 2. Connected, 3. Prairie Rockets 2, 4. tumble dry, 5. Untitled, 6. Unfolding, 7. Eye on Phoenix City Hall, 8. Fully Conjugated, 9. charybdis, 10.

I'm getting all sorts of ideas from iHanna's blog (be sure to visit her if you haven't already) - she posted her flickr inspiration favorites yesterday which inspired me to do the same.  The links below take you directly to that artist or photographer's flickr stream.  How cool is this?  I don't always remember to fave images I come across that I like, but now I will so that I can share them with you guys every month of so.

I created it quickly and easily using Big Huge Lab's free mosaic maker - they give you the HTML links and everything.....super easy!
