I love the idea of letting thoughts wander and grow. You find so much about yourself if you wrote down a strain of thoughts, letting them weave in and out of possibility and taking form in reality. I once heard someone say "think of the impossible and then try to do it." The point is to try. Where would society be today if no one ever tried to impossible? And who's to say what's impossible? No man can make your boundaries, only you can, right?
Today's thought of inspiration comes from a friend of mine, Emily. She told me about this artist named Ryan Woodward. He's worked for major motion studios, storyboarding for some great features. In 2010, he created an amazing animated short film that took me by surprise. Titled Thought of You, it's a simple animated drawing of two dancers. Not to say it's impossible to draw & animate life-like dancers, but I'm all-the-more inspired.

The Story of Acrylic & Gouache
Once upon a time, a young girl wished to learn how to paint. Tried as she might, she could find no paint friendly enough for her talents. She tried watercolor, but this 6th-grader could not get it right. She tried Acrylic, it was fun but still wasn't as joyful. Finally one day, her 'advanced drawing' Teaching Assistant told her about Gouache paint, a paint that so happened to be in her art kit already. "Oh!" she exclaimed, as she attempted the feat of mastering this wondering paint. She created a beautiful sunset and got an A! The End!!
If only it were like a fairytale....

I mean his lyrics are unbelievable, beautiful, metaphoric, confusing and inspirational all at once. To me, this insomniac and dreamer is an inspiration to this insomniac and dreamer. Yeah, I can relate. Here's an excerpt from Alligator Sky:
