This piece is inspired by Mental Health Awareness Week that’s just left us. Belated and as cryptic as things might be (as usual) here in Bleu’s world, better late to the party than never right?

Inspired by the landscape of Cars Land and named for the Cozy Cone Hotel. If you know, you know.

Possibly inspired by current events.

A fairly special one for me this week, as today’s post is inspired by what would have been the time of Beltane celebrations. As it is, we celebrated at home in our own little ways, and in the case of myself indulging in my usual habits! Drinking and of course drawing, the usual stuff...

Inspired by reading a subreddit discussing the early works of Animal Collective.

The title for this one was inspired by a remark the DJ Marc Riley made on his BBC 6 Music show earlier in the week. Couldn’t resist getting inspired! As we self-isolate and/or minimise going out unless we feel the absolute need to, as Freddie of the Mercury once sang, “radio, someone still loves you ❤️”

I often have weird dreams that inspire my artwork, and that one I had last night where I took over a jungle (or was it a forest? I don’t know) sure got me inspired.

Sometimes, my demons inspire me in a weird way.

Friday nights make good gig nights. This was inspired by one such event that happened not too long ago. :)

Inspired by a very drum and music heavy weekend that's just left us. Cracking times had by all I'd say!

The madnesses conspired, and this was the result.

this pattern is for the spoonflower shibori challenge.

The things you hear after a few drinks can sure inspire you...

"Lang may yer lum reek (a Hogmanay greeting, implying "May you never be without fuel for your fire!", but more literally translates to "Long may your chimney smoke!")" All this I corrupted and used to inspire me here.

Inspired by a friend of mine's passing remark, I got creative...

When both an M. Night Shyamalan film and a controversial German novel inspire you at the same time...

Inspired by a recent camping I undertook with a few close friends of mine. Grand times had by all!

Nothing beats an unusual dream that inspires you. plus some Star Wars inspiration!

Today's cut-up fest, inspired by the works of Anthony Burgess and Stanley Kubrick.

I was lucky to see severals Great Gray Owls in fields not so far from my home. That’s inspired of catch that feelin

Inspired by Amer's testimony from Islam to Christ on YouTube channel: Touching The Afterlife: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=TlvIHuRZ-V4&t=1074s&pp=ygUOYW1lciB0ZXN0aW1vbnk%3D

"I only saw my soul there screaming. That's all I could hear. It was on fire. There was no water. There was nothing." - Monique Berk. These drawings were inspired by a woman's testimony I listened to on Touching The Afterlife here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2F8S2mj0J4g I was on the fence about posting this one, but I've been very moved by the testimonies of those who prior in their lives seemingly had no hope. While you live and breathe, there is hope.

I have been listening to some great songs and getting lost in some writing and stories. I felt inspired to create this creature. I know I had made one originally a year ago. https://youtu.be/GqDkZEv_ZQk?si=m6KwE1Gj0UZtEJR6 Here is one of the songs I obsessed with.
