I have a sick mind.
and painting is more fun than counselling.
lol j/k
but not really, most of my work come from my imagination while i'm in that zone, daydreaming while going through mundane tasks, like my regular day job. i have nothing to listen to but the drone of my scrubbing machine as we are not allowed mp3 players or such like (due to "health and safety". more likely due to the boss being a complete #####) so i'm left with just my imagination, while walking up and down empty corridors, you just naturally end up thinking about if there may be raptors skittering about in the ducting waiting to go on a rampage or what may be chained up in the locked room that you don't have a key to. (and neither does anyone else!) there are many a time i have wondered about bringing a video camera to work and just doing some shots, but i really know that if i got caught i would be in big trouble!
i also like to consider other works and see if i can do some interesting varient on the subject matter, that can be quite inspiring too but then i kind of think that its not really mine as i've based it off someone elses work.
mostly though i think about squirrels, they aren't particularly inspiring, but they are cute
