Ideas
Some Artists make what we call a "SWIPE FILE"
A Swipe File is a place where you keep all the things that you love that you want to "swipe" from when you are out of ideas.
What do you love? What do you dislike? What is interesting to you? Who are you? What is important to you?

"Just as you have a familial genealogy, you also have a genealogy of ideas. You don't get to pick your family, but you can pick your teachers and you can pick your friends and you can pick the music you listen to and you pick the books you read and you can pick the movies you see.
You are in fact, a mashup of what you choose to let into you life. You are the sum of your influences. The German writer Goethe said, "We are shaped and fashioned by what we love."
Create a Swipe File on Tumbler, Pinterest, Noteablity, or Google Docs.
You should be trying to collect/curate at least 30 to 50 sources.
