In the environment in which I work and spend five days a week, it’s very hard to keep one’s head above the corporate waters. In this deadline- and money-driven atmosphere, it is difficult to keep track of the elements that are most important—those elements that inspire me to be passionate, to make art, to interact with people from all walks of life, to stay sane, to laugh heartily, to push through difficult times, and to be a good person. These are the elements that make life worth living. I write this article in the spirit of *dibbi’s “A World of Colours and Shapes” ([link]), which inspired me greatly and made me want to share the photos that evoke a great deal of emotion in me and that contain the elements that inspire to keep on keepin’ on. I hope you enjoy this tribute to the artists that have their heads on their shoulders and know what is really important in life. Thank you for being constant inspirations.
