// Elton John and Bernie Taupin, (1970s – 1980s) My biggest source of inspiration for art is, quite possibly, music. Admittedly, all of my time and energy goes into writing and creating visual art. While I don’t play an instrument, music is magic for my artistic process. It heightens emotions and, like children’s books, it takes my imagination to far-off places in lyric and sound. I’m always curious if other artists regard visual art as their top inspiration or if it’s something else. Elton John and his lyricist partner Bernie Taupin created such rich atmosphere together. Growing up in the late 1970’s/early 1980’s, their music stopped me in my tracks. There was always music playing in our house, for which I’m eternally grateful. Even as a little kid, Elton and Bernie’s music moved my soul. Throughout the years, many musicians have continued to inspire my work and my spirit. Pink Floyd, TOOL, Billie Holiday, Nina Simone, Mastodon & Billie Eilish are just a few that immediately come to mind. There really is nothing quite like playing music at full volume & gettin’ to work! Beautiful Bizarre Guest Curator: @brandimilne …
