Originally posted by CalvP Great post normie. Something similar to the observation deck, is the Oblique Strategies by Brian Eno/Peter Schmidt. It's a similar idea, with a set of cards etc & was developed initially just as a personal tool to get away from the confinements of production pitfalls, but became so popular they started producing them. There are free online versions, apps etc Thought it was worth a mention

I shall take a look for sure, you fellas are so insightful.

A good point.

I also think of the great masters paintings that sometimes took years.

Like you say, having this perspective on art makes me sit back and think actualy what we do is a lot easier than we might think, although still hard to do well.

Originally posted by CalvP Perhaps we should start a thread on inspiring artwork?! The Sistine Chapel by Michelangelo get's my vote, 4 years in the making I was lucky enough to visit the louvre in paris a few years back & it really backs up what you're saying. Some works you just had to stare at in utter wonderment! i would really advise everyone to check out their local galleries & museums at least ONCE (i know it's not everyone's cup of tea), it could change your creative outlook forever

nice CalvP, my perspective on my own art music has now shifted a degree from this post, gold!
