I am always looking for some. Lately it has been really hard, sometimes everything just feels like a struggle. Not impossible, not even difficult - really I am by no means negative when I write this - but sometimes things just require more than you have to give, more than you want to give or more than you are comfortable giving.
It has been like that for me lately, I go in and out of producing some of the best and worst work of my career. I like this blog. And I really like this post about pressure and inspiration.
The most interesting part come from the type designer Erik Spiekermann
I've always had my own methods of dealing with [inspiration] and one of them is pressure. I only start work when I really cannot avoid it anymore. And it's not inspiration, it's sweat — perspiration.... I don't get turned on by nothing. I get turned on by problems. For clients. The only reason I know that people go for walks, I find, or people do other stuff, is not for inspiration — it's to avoid the issue.
Hmmmm...
** Not exactly sure what the picture up there is - but I believe that almost all blog posts should have a picture...so there you go.
