Visual Prompts from Deviant Art
DeviantArt is an online community of known and "unknown" artists, and new deviations are uploaded every second.
Because art means different things to different people, ambiguous images can prompt new ideas. Here are a few compelling images from DeviantArt. You can click on the image to visit DA and a larger version.
Begin writing and see where you go!
I spend a lot of time browsing DA, so I will change these from time to time, but I encourage you to visit the site yourself and look around. If nothing else, you'll be inspired by all the creativity!
Note: Please respect that these are other people's intellectual property, and while it's okay to link back to them from your site or blog the way I have here, please don't "lift" them and post them on PhotoBucket or myspace or anywhere else--that tends to generate a lot of ill will, at least on DA, because the artist typically doesn't get credit for his or her work. Thanks!
If you see a link to your work and for any reason you do not want it featured here, just email me at ckaufman AT archetypewriting DOT com and I will remove it!
