Hello Philipp, you are our source of inspiration and a moment of relief in these crazy uncertain times. Thank you for your discipline.

I have all these different shaped, color and odd statues around my house. I get some inspiration from those. I made 3 FIB( Fashion Inspiration Board) sooo far. Which has different style, color, shaped & just odd funny looking creative fashions. I luvvvv seeing things like that. My favorite singer Rihanna has a great fashion, in some her videos of she wears cute clothes. Some of my inspiration comes from her videos. Or other music videos. She's from Barbados, so looked up the fashion there & they had soooo many different styles, bright colors & lots of sheer clothes. Just like in Africa the have tons of bright outfits & more. China has Chinese streetwear. I looked that up, honestly there streetwear style looks like costumes. So sometimes I'm inspired by clothes from other countries. I literally say USA style has nothing on these other countries fashions...!! Great video, I luvvvved it.

Thank you so much, Sir, May God blessed you.

This was excellent, Philip, as usual, although I must admit I have a hard time relating in general. I wake up every morning with more creative ideas than I could ever possibly accomplish. My issue is filtering and prioritizing. I haven't been bored or felt that I was in some kind of inspirational block in 60 years. (And I'm not some kind of hyperactive nut-job or savant, I just find virtually everything fascinating.)
