Fun and Games

This week at Inspire Me Thursday, it’s all Fun and Games.
Inspired by this functional art created by our featured artist of the week, Stacia Stojanoff, this week’s creative challenge is to find inspiration in all things fun. The design of your favorite board game. The texture on your favorite sports gear. The emotions from the head games people play. The adrenaline rush from skydiving, rock climbing or winning a round of Gin Rummy. See what fun and games can inspire you this week.

One of my favorite fun things to do is play with my dog, Heidi. I never tire of seeing her joyful energy when she’s chasing after a ball or just running around a field. I just posted a mixed media painting of a happy dog having fun, and I think it fits the topic well!

Fun and games….my life is full of these. I am raising two small children as a job and so games are my livelihood. I still love a good game, and my job gives me the wonderful opportunity to play hide and seek or airplane at the drop of a hat.

For me, it’s fun to keep a drawing and writing journal, sometimes attempting to write and sketch more mundane things. Some of the games ate the bottom of the post were especially inspired by this prompt.

Hi everyone -
Work is fun for me. I love what I do and every challenge is like a puzzle. Since business is growing I need to expand to an independent studio soon. In this quest, a couple of weeks back, I drew a sketch of an ideal studio that in my dreams is located in an artsy/trendy little neighborhood just on the upswing. So when I read the theme for this week; this studio sketch immediately came to mind. It is my ideal place for fun and games.
