Any ideas or suggestions to get out of artist's block? For the ones who dont know what I mean...
Im talking about when your mind is blank, when it feels like u have no ideas flowing. Even when you do have ideas, it seems as if its impossible to make them happen. I know a lot of yall have came across this at some point. But with me, its major. Its been goin on with for the past year and some change. My situation is crucial. Any feedback is appreciated.

Smoke some Salvia!

Drop some acid, or eat some shrooms.

Seeing life differently always causes some sort of creative trigger to go off. Then again I'm bi-polar. We tend to always be high on life which causes creativity, or suicidal which causes very dark demented art.

So maybe you need a mental illness. lol

I think in your situation you tend to use a lot of current artists in your work, TI, 50 cent etc, maybe listen to some more old school music and get yourself in a different state of mind, kinda take yourself out of your own element for a little while, illustrate a humpty hump, or slick rick, maybe that would work

I get this a lot too. What I do is get off the comp for the rest of the day, maybe even the day after and just do whatever you can to relax and get your mind off of it, weather it be smoking, playing games, music or TV. When I hop back on usually and refreshed and got some new ideas.

definitely some good ideas posted already. nine2five got the best one i think (ironic he got the boring ass name. the names not boring but nine2fives are), just break your mold. do something way different. listen to different music, go a different way to work/school/whatever, etc etc.

also like colombo said look at many works of art, it'll keep you in the right mood and you'll probably subconciously pick up a lotta things.

and yeah trees help me. almost unmatchable.
