The photographs in this book have been taken over many years in places throughout the world. They have all been included because they suggest that they would form the basis for a painting or drawing. Sometimes it is a question of pointing the camera in the right direction, occasionally it is luck but more often the artistic eye will spot something of merit. Many have been collected from the urban environment and can be classed as graffiti. Other photographs are from the natural world. Art is all around us but many artists reach a point where good ideas are hard to come by and inspiration is not forthcoming. Some photographs, or bits of images that have been cropped, spark off an idea and can inspire a drawing or painting. There is no order to these images, the book is designed to flip through as a design source. All these images are free to use and develop as the artist wishes, it is only the photo itself that is copyright. If you are stuck for ideas then this book will give you inspiration
