My art teacher introduced us to Rube Goldberg a while ago and his work inspired me.

Seeing his drawings rekindled some of my curiosity.
Professor Butts and the Self-Operating Napkin by Rube Goldberg
His inventions appear to be complicated but they all bring about a very simple task for his characters. This was the simple motif I had in mind when I drew this piece:
It’s difficult for most artists to be constantly creative. Many of us forget how to be inventive as we get older and we’ll abandon that initial spark.
However, it helps to keep in mind that no piece of work is entirely original, and not every piece we create has to be as perfect as we envisioned.
Q: Anything you want to say to artists struggling with inspiration?
Destiny: I’ve found teachers and mentors to be great sources of inspiration. But when that option is unavailable, the internet is an oracle of inspiration itself.
If you’re stuck in a rut right now: take some breaks then keep searching, it’ll come to you eventually.
