I know this doesn’t seem like me to post at around 1:38 AM but this might be an exception. I recently had a “lil road trip” on Route 66. I must say it was great. I wouldn’t mind coming back anytime. Looking back and reflecting on all of the viewpoints to this humble, but powerful strip of road suddenly made something snap in my head. Finally! Inspiration for me to do some art! Yes I know, how? Why? …What? Well, All of this time I have been trying to find something to get inspired to do artwork. Sure I did a photo here, and a drawing here. But I needed something to get my creative juices going. And when I visited Angel Delgadillo, “The Guardian Angel of Route 66″, I saw the passion and love for what was proudly part of his home town. He also had a lil Interview on the “Inspiration for Cars” video thats on the Cars DVD. I must say, he has got to be one of the most awesomest of old guys. He gave me a haircut while I was there. While that happened, a bus load of Japanese people came in looking around and conversing themselves about certain things hanging in the room. Angel had to stop for a moment and get their attention to show them certain celebrities In Japan that they might know. And he spoke Japanese as well! That was truely something I wasn’t expecting. I also recently added some photos in my flickr account shown down below at the bottom left hand side. Well, anyways, I realized what I needed to get my creative juices going and now I’m painting left and right without pre-drawing, or even looking at anything really. I just come up with places at the top of my head and create on canvas. Hopefully soon I’ll take some pics of them. In the mean time you’ll just have to put up with my typing of random, but maybe informative info. (not really, just random)
