Where do you get your ideas?

In this wonderful post, Jillian Tamaki answers the question every artist dreads, Where do you get your ideas?

The article is a handout from her class at New York’s Parsons School of Design (I hope these students realize how lucky they are!).

She also points to this Frank Stockton article about inspiration.

    Well up until yesterday I thought I knew :) but I just finished reading “Blink: The power of thinking without thinking” by Malcolm Gladwell and this article http://www.informaworld.com/smpp/section?content=a743900378&fulltext=713240928 about how consciousness of an action is half a second LATER then the action!!!!! and everything just got a lot weirder – maybe we don’t have inspiration – maybe inspiration has us!
