Inspiration (is subjective).

Here are a few artists that inspire me. Though few, they are pretty strong influences, either with their direct creations or the messages they send with their art. And sometimes, I just really fucking like to look at the stuff, and it doesn't go any further than that. You'll notice many of these works share a theme of religion.

Andres Serrano- Piss Christ

Chris Ofili- The Holy Virgin Mary

Robert Rauschenberg- Monogram

Saint Barbie- Mark Ryden

Soasig Chamaillard- Sainte caméléon

Ooh, then, there is Peter Beste. He is an American photographer & came out with a book about the Norwegian Black Metal scene with many fantastic photos.

And then there's this. Love it.

UNTIL THE LIGHT TAKES US

This is a trailer to one of my favorite documentaries. Not only am I inspired by black metal music, the culture and the frostbitten landscapes of the North fill me with creative insight. Learn more HERE.
