While I love the solitude of my work, I am constantly on the look-out for interesting ideas — both from within the art world as well as other fields, that help broaden my world. Sometimes I find ideas for my work in the strangest places....

Below is an on-going list of some of my favorites. Perhaps you'll find something interesting here. This is all free content unless otherwise noted.
