I’ve never had a blog, but I do have blogs that I admire. So, why not start my first post with inspiration from people that know what they’re doing.

STILL blog by Mary Jo Hoffman
I wish I knew how to capture this aesthetic in glass. I love the starkness and nakedness of the photos Mary Jo creates and curates. There’s a lot of thoughtfulness that goes into crafting this type of work. It’s almost meditative in it’s process. MJ takes a walk every day and picks out pieces of nature - no matter the season - and crafts a layout so striking you can’t help but feel guilty for having walked past a twig, leaf, what-have-you without a second look.

@brain____________________heart by Brian Hart
I worked with Brian on a few projects back in the day. He is an advocate for artists through and through – and he means it, genuinely. You can tell the creative juices never stop with this guy. He’s also stupid smart. I enjoy how his work seeps into my thoughts – like when I see a banana peel on the ground when I’m on a walk. It’s surprising how many of those are out there. It’s bananas.

Inspiration & Ideas by Ikea
Ikea stages their products in their inspiration & ideas blog that makes good interior design look possible. I like that they actually show spaces with things, like, human things in them – not something minimalists would appreciate. I’m not saying minimalists aren’t great and all, I’m just not able to achieve that look successfully.
