Visual Art

I find that the artists behind video games and movies are the most fascinating to me because they inspire a sense of wonder, mystery and creativity. By Creating concept art and visual storyboards they are able to display the mood of the game or film while showing their talent in the field.

My favorite artist is Yoshitaka Amano, the one behind the Final Fantasy game series. His surreal work mixed with his ethereal style make me feel many different emotions and inspire me to create my own art.

Here is a link to one of his pieces:

I am also a fan of Ukiyo-e and ink drawings (my personal preferred style)

Music

I find the music of Nujabes to be very unique and through provoking as well. It is a blend of classical, jazz and hip hop music. From very peaceful to melancholy tones, Nujabes has unearthed a new genre of music that many great producers took after to continue his legacy.
Depending upon my mood I also like Rock,Post Rock, Classical and some electronic music.

Nature

I find that nature is equally and sometimes more inspiring that the 1st two categories listed here. Imagine sitting on a rolling hill looking at an open field covered with wildflowers. A few large trees spot the field and line your perrefeals. White clouds float calmly above and into the horizon where you can see a stream bordering a large mountain range. An occasional sun shower releases the fragrances of the earth and plants surrounding you as you take it all in. A living art piece.
