Five Random Overheard bits of conversation
I work in the tech support field and you'd be amazed at the crazy things you overhear from your co-workers. I hope these crazy remarks taken out of context can inspire you for some art and writings or both.
“First I’ll get on the Master and then I’ll take the Slave.”
“I need my purple pills.”
“Dude . . . .I think something just laid it’s eggs in my
head.”
“I didn’t have the heart to tell him it was no longer 1997.”
Ten Updated Classics
One of the trends is taking an old literature classic and changing it into something new and exciting . . . . or even crazy. Here are some random updated classics, courtesy of the Seventh Sanctum. Something to draw or something to write, your call

The Rules and Procedures
This site's sole purpose is to help funnel the dreams and inspirations of writers and artists alike. So the rules are small but sometimes, it's necessary to point things out.
CREATE, CREATE, CREATE
Use whatever medium you are comfortable with. If you like to paint, then paint. If you like to draw, then draw. If you want to use photographs, or photoshop, or all of the above, go right ahead. The point is you are creating something.
THE TIME FRAME
At the beginning of every month, thirty items will be posted. These pictures and words will be used for inspiration. Use them however you see fit (that's kinda the point, right?) They will be showcased in groups of five so hopefully they'll be plenty of things to choose from. If more than thirty is requested, then I'll strive to post more.
PLEASE SHARE
It's my hope that we can build something from this. When you are ready with your art, we'd like to see it posted. If you want me to do it, please email me at
sewershark3022@gmail.com
If you want to be authorized to post on this blog, definitely let me know that and I'll add you.
MORE TO COME, SOONER THAN LATER
I'll be posting the thirty items soon. Normally I would wait till September 1st but I'll actually be out of town at that time. I'll even post up a link when I get back :)
Take care and thanks for stopping by

My Heart Cries Out to Create!!!
I wanted to share this with you. Marvel Comics created an alternate tale of the Avengers called Avatars. This dimension was actually crafted by the super being called the Shaper of Worlds. These first few pages are from that series and they held a special soft spot in my heart for this art and dialogue.

I love the look on his face when he's about to create that world. How many of us have felt that joy just before a painting or a sketch?
and I hope we'll all come together with each other to create more things.

What is the Fourth Kick?
With a little luck, the Fourth Kick will be an inspirational sight to artists and writers of the world.
The Fourth Kick gets it's name from the movie Inception. It was the "kick" which the character Cobb used to ride the dreamscapes all the way back to reality. And those points of inspiration come from this movie as two statements were very inspirational in the creation of this website.
"Yeah, but you know it's not YOUR idea, you know I gave it to you. The mind can always trace the genesis of an idea, true inspiration is impossible to fake." ~ Arthur
There was an old saying that there are no new ideas. Since man has been writing since the dawn of time, any "stories" that come up for an artist or writer, some where in a distance part of the planet, another artist or writer has come up with the same idea. Personally, I've seen it three times in my life. Either on movies or comic books, I was like, "Damn! I thought of that first!" The difference between them and me is that they got their ideas published first. But this sight is not about who's idea is what. Our goal is to give YOU something to inspire you to create.
"It's just . . . .pure creation." ~Ariadne
For the artists who read this, you have to admit this to yourself. If you were in the universe of Inception, and you had Ariadne's power, you'd be addicted too. With my creativity, I often wonder if I would be an Architect or a Forger? What would you be?
What will you be inspired to make?
