>>25374572Unironically, reading philosophy and thinking about abstract problems.
you can't seek it out deliberately. all you can do is build a consistent routine of exploring things that you care about, practising the techniques of your medium, doing small-scale creative experiments that build up over time. i'm writing this partly as a reminder to myself. flaubert sez, 'Be regular and orderly in your life like a bourgeois, so that you may be violent and original in your work.'

>>25374572It comes in waves.
>>25374663this is an uncreative person's idea of creativity, as if artworks are fully formed ideas beamed into your head by favourable gods. inspiration means the surprises you stumble across when engaging with materials. if you have aesthetic responses to the work of others then you have the capacity to know inspiration when you see it. what you need is the discipline of work, so as to allow those chance encounters, and the proficiency of skill, so as to capture and reproduce them and lay the ground for future encounters. no one ever thinks about the thousands of dutiful, uninspired sketches all great painters did during their training.

>>25374673>as if artworks are fully formed ideas beamed into your headThis has happened to mean several times and that is what I would call true inspiration. I wake up with a song in my head and I just have capture the inspiration and ride the wave while the inspiration is present and before I know it 90% of the work is already done with no effort on my part.>inspiration means the surprises you stumble across when engaging with materials. if you have aesthetic responses to the work of others then you have the capacity to know inspiration when you see it.I wouldn't call taking and twisting other people's ideas for your own as inspiration. I would just call it derivative which is fine, most artists let alone people will not experience true inspiration; David Lynch only experienced it once in 50 years as a filmmaker or whatever.>what you need is the proficiency of skill, so as to capture and reproduce them and lay the ground for future encountersSure, we agree.
