Mostly, music. Whever I listen to Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds I for some reason feel the want to paint! Also, nature. General beauty. Beautiful faces, beautiful animals.

Emotions also. Believe it or not, sadness sometimes is a brilliant creative fuel for me. I can write very melancholy poems, stories, and paint very dark things while sad, which mostly turn out well. Need to be in that certain, morbid mindset though.
