Last night we attended an annual event in East London called The Limelight Film and Arts awards- it left us in awe of the amount of creative talents around that keep the momentum going -and ongoing -to work towards fulfilling personal and collective dreams- whilst also inspiring others to do the same in the process. It made us realize- without one creative person or collective- another could likely cease to exist. We are like a mexican wave of energy, and part of our job descriptions includes the spreading of inspiration for others! It's something we must sub consciously be designed to do as a result of being creative! 

In this day and age- where people talk of industries collapsing, businesses dissolving- we wonder if creativity will ever suffer a dire end too? Can creativity become extinct... a distant memory from history? Will it too suffer during a time of imposed cut backs financially... and consciously? Judging from the fire within some of the showcased work we watched last night- it's impossible we say! Creativity has been around since the beginnings of time and like eating, sleeping, breathing- it's surely an involuntary reaction for us all as human beings.

So go on- find some inspiration and then unleash your own creative insights and keep spreading it like wild fire- but you don't need the likes of us to tell you that... right??!! 

We recently posted onto our blog some designs from the gapingvoid gallery of sketches... all doodled on the back of business cards. (quite clever... and inspiring we thought!) 

We know you will like this recent one we received in our mailbox- it does exactly what it says on the tin- and relates well to our experiences at the awards show last night! 

Here's the schpeel it came attached with- it seems to do what we aim to do every day of our working lives here onwards- and we have faith that you also share our sentiments! Enjoy! 

 INSPIRE (by Gapingvoid)

'If your a writer or an artist or something, a big part of your job, to put it simply, is to inspire other people.

And it's damn hard to inspire people, if you're not feeling too inspired yourself.

I don't know about you, but most of the time I spend on the Internet is not about "finding information". I'm there looking for people and ideas that inspire me. They're out there, sure, but it's still a lot of work finding them. That being said, when I do find them, my day job gets a A LOT easier REALLY quickly.

Ask yourself, have you been inspired today? if not, don't you think you should do something about it. Like... right this VERY minute? Serious question.'
