Inspiration is one thing that fascinate me. It is so mysterious. Where does it comes from? Is is also intangible. One thing that I realized recently: there are artists that seems full of inspiration to be turned into creation )getting it into more tangible way, into reality). Two examples I think are Isaac Asimov (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isaac_Asimov (too bad there isn't any photos from his later years, he had a great look!)) and David Bowie (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Bowie). With this kind of artists, inspiration seems to flow or they make it flow.
On the other hand, there are artists where inspiration seems more hard to get. They have difficulties to get their ideas. I think that Charles Addams (creator of the Addams family https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Addams) and Quino (creator of Mafalda https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quino) seems to be in that category. I think I had read somewhere, for each of them separately, that they struggled with ideas. It can be weird because they work with picture. Well, I may be in a less experianced area. I don't don't have any experience with drawing.
It lead me to wonder: what differenciente those two kind of artists? What makes them go in one category or the other? Is it a mindset? Are those in the stuggle for inspiration group are blocking their ideas? Are those in the easy inspired group channel their inner inspiration more easily? Or is it their mind that work differently? Would be fun to have some study on that topic. The two categories may apply elsewhere, I am sure.
