1. My Son's Art: You can’t watch my 14-year-old son, Emmett, create his abstract paintings and not be inspired. I love the result, but it’s his process that I find the most awe-inspiring—freeform expression from an intriguing young mind. (emmettkyoshiart.com)
3. Architecture:The idea that foundation and structure pave the way to a timeless creative statement is as fascinating as it is inspiring.
5. Drawing: Drawing unlocks my creativity. Having a pencil in my hand and thinking about what I want to see sends me down a path of putting my thoughts into actions.
6. Japanese Culture: Tradition and discipline underscore the Japanese culture, but it’s also the creative soul of the language, the martial arts and the expression of fashion from the youth street scene that are all sources of inspiration.
