Stay Inspired: Cultivating Curiosity and Growing Your Ideas (A Self-Guide)

An interactive guide to staying creatively curious in your own life,
curated by Brandon Stosuy (cofounder of The Creative Independent), with
quotes and advice from artists across disciplines
The second in a series of three interactive guides dedicated to the practical and emotional sides of living a creative life, Stay Inspired
explores how to grow an idea into a project and how to keep the spark
of creativity present in your daily life. This guide poses a series of
questions on themes of tapping into your own story and circumstances of
inspiration, identifying your influences, finding inspiring communities,
and initiating partnerships and collaborations. Working artists from
all walks of life¿musicians, authors, filmmakers, dancers, designers,
and visual artists¿offer their responses to the questions posed
throughout the book, providing an inspirational framework for
discovering new ideas, channeling your influences, and making work in
conversation with others.
Part memoir, part zine, part "how-to," and oral history, in Stay Inspired,
author and curator Brandon Stosuy taps into an incredible network of
talent to provide diverse (and diverging) perspectives on how creativity
can be inspired and channeled into your independent work,
collaborations, and communities.
