HELP: Inspire my next Daily Coffee drawing.

If you haven't seen my The Daily Coffee series of marker drawings then you should check them out.

I have noticed that some of my better drawings have been inspired by something I saw that day. Here is where you come in... Inspire me and if I use your inspiration in my coffee drawing then I'll dedicate it to you and if you'd like the original drawing, I'll send it to you. Signed.

What do you say? Inspire me? Post images or links to stuff that inspires you. I am already a user on found so I have seen a lot of that stuff. I'm looking for things I haven't seen before. BTW: They don't need to be coffee themed images.

Here is one of my favorite inspired drawings to give you an idea.

Inspired by this John Martz cartoon.

I drink so much damn coffee. My wife is Colombian, and we went there last news years and I brought back like 10 pounds of the stuff.

Anyway...I like Volcanoes. The steam coming out of the top reminds me of the steam coming off of coffee.

nice photo. Just added this to the top "BTW: They don't need to be coffee themed images."

Example. This one was inspired by a Motorcycle photo.

I've started a drawing today but a little uninspired when it comes to filling in the cup details.

bump

Today's drawing is up. (August 9th) Not inspired from this blog yet. :-\

bortwein on Aug 09 '11 at 2:42pm

maybe tomorrow?

Resistance on Aug 09 '11 at 2:45pm

I gave you gold... I gave you Kirby... and you spit in my face.

bortwein on Aug 09 '11 at 3:12pm

no spit, just not inspired by Kirby.

Resistance on Aug 09 '11 at 3:17pm

LOL... ummm...

I really like Coke... and robots are cool.. this inspires me to drink coke for the future...

And it makes me think of Tom Servo...

How about something Katamari? A bunch of random objects lumped together.

bortwein on Aug 09 '11 at 3:25pm

hah, some interesting ideas. keep them going and I'll see what I draw up next.

bortwein on Aug 10 '11 at 8:41am

good morning. Inspire me please.

Resistance on Aug 10 '11 at 8:47am

I googled "awesomest"

Morkki on Aug 10 '11 at 8:53am

Bees

toopersent on Aug 10 '11 at 9:08am

Im inspired by planes and space ships.

This is a picture I took of the SR71 Blackbird a little while ago.

bortwein on Aug 10 '11 at 9:27am

Resistance: You should have googled "Inspired". You get stuff cool like this:

Morkki: I don't really like bees. They freak me out.

toopersent: nice photo. I love that sort of thing too.

bortwein on Aug 10 '11 at 9:56am

have not started a drawing yet, so more inspiration is welcome.

bortwein on Aug 10 '11 at 10:19am

BRB: I need another cup of coffee.

toopersent on Aug 10 '11 at 10:42am

Also, I love animals, but like, weird ones. Not necessarily weird, per se, but not pet type animals. I went to the Zoo yesterday and took some nice photos. This is one of my favs.

toopersent on Aug 10 '11 at 10:47am

I hate when my comments don't bump.

bortwein on Aug 10 '11 at 12:19pm

I hate when comments don't seem to bump as well.

Interesting owl.

bortwein on Aug 10 '11 at 3:21pm

maybe tomorrow?

bortwein on Aug 11 '11 at 8:34am

good morning. I'm going to go get my 1st cup of the morning. Any inspiration for a drawing today?

toopersent on Aug 11 '11 at 9:16am

How abut a Phi Club coffee mug for our crew?

bortwein on Aug 11 '11 at 9:26am

funny thing is that I thought about that this morning but didn't know if I was in to doing the drawing. I know it would support the club but would other people enjoy the drawing.

thanks for supporting my efforts for inspiration. I appreciate the thought. Considering I'm the only one that comments in my other blog about the drawings I feel like no one at Threadless Blogs cares if I'm drawing them or not.

bortwein on Aug 11 '11 at 10:46am

No time to draw, I'm Designing Iron Medallions and I need more coffee.
