Places I have Ideas In..

I’d like to say that I was one of these people who can harbour inspiration wherever whenever. Sadly this is not the case. Lightning strikes when I give myself the time to get wrapped up in idea. 

This happens in that awkward space of time just before I fall asleep. I have always had trouble sleeping, and still lay awake for hours letting my mind wander, particularly of recent, after reading ‘Just Kids’. Learning about the art and music scene in Downtown New York during the Seventies gets my creative gears cranking.. so to speak. 

Train journeys as well, any lengthily amount of time where I can zone out with whatever music I’ve downloaded that week. (Most recent addition - The Doors, LA Woman)

I used to love the library at college, every Tuesday morning I’d grab 5-6 design magazines, sit with my iPod and thumb through them, leaving post-its on any page I felt photocopy worthy.
