Anytime you’re afraid to try something new…just remember, amateurs built the ark, professionals built the titanic.
David Drake (author of Hammer’s Slammers). -
Call me a Philistine, if you like, but Art only really became Art in the last two centuries. Essentially, before that, it was furniture for improving one’s home.

It’s spring fever…. You don’t quite know what it is you DO want, but it just fairly makes your heart ache, you want it so!
Mark Twain -

Until then he had almost dared hope that the picture might spring to life.
Lucien Freud -
Every work of art is a child of its time.

In this technologically triumphant age, when the rockets begin to scream up towards the moon but the human mind seems at an even greater distance, anger has a limited use.
Love has a wider application, and it is that which needs describing wherever it can be found so that we may all recognise it and learn its use.
Kenneth Allsopp, The Angry Decade -
There is no wealth but life.
Ruskin -
When you cut into the present, the future leaks out.
William Burroughs -
Real wealth is life, and finance must be its servant, not its master.

Hello there, nice to meet you.
I don't know about you but I find myself constantly on the prowl for new sources of creative inspiration, whether it's architectural plans, illustration, skateboarding videos, fashion, furniture design or some bizarre, niche technological advance.
If things go to plan, the most intriguing and exciting of these discoveries and some incredible, inspiring photography will wash up here, on the shores of Tumblr.
You can find my own photographic endeavours over on my blog which is located at www.wearehomegrown.co.uk
