Where Inspiration Comes From

There’s no need to make the creative process into a big mystery to outsiders, or even yourself. It all comes from your influences.

Why It’s Called Social Sharing

You won’t be noticed, much less discovered—there is too much competition from the entire global community for your one little drop in the big web bucket to get found. Instead, start local, where your roots are.

Art + What Goes With It

Pairings are quite common in life: wine and cheese, football and beer, man and woman. Some pairings are less obvious. Pairings is a blog about pairing art with everything else at AustinDetails.me, where art meets tech with pictures and words.
