Hi all!
I haven't been posting as many entries as usual because I've been feeling massively uninspired and uncreative.
Anyone here ever felt like that, and does anyone have any tips on how to get over the chopping blahs?
I mean, I stare at a picture and I just can't think of a single thing to do except the same old same old.
Hope everybody is having a wonderful week!
Judy

Hm. Been reading lots of stories. Listening to song lyrics. Darn, there's those drugs again! Will coffee and cigarettes do?

i feal like that a whole lot, if you can't take drugs just pic a chop, force yourself to think of something, and do it wheather you like it or not and you'll probably feal more creative while you're doing the chop and likely feal more creative for other chops

you could try to eat two packs of cigarettes at once, drink a gallon of coffee, and wait what the near-death-experience will bring

I've been there! Actually, I'm still there...I don't have much time to chop, and when I do have a little time I am not inspired! And when I do have a great idea than I can't find the right pictures or I come up with another idea when I'm half way!
Ah but in the end it's just STFUAC

Look at pictures, photographs, paintings… from others ánd yourself!!! Here on psc or p.e. http://www.allposters.com/
While absorbing all the beauty there must come a moment your brain says: o yesss… I have to chop!
I have more ideas than time…
Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night to find out that my brain is still choppin’.
I think that’s funny. 
Yeah, yeah, and silly, I know! 
Toi toi toi Birdtoes! You make great stuff... so go on!

All good advice here - but in the end I agree most with the JUST START CHOPPING...
Ready.
Fire.
Aim.
That will get you much further in your creative life than
Ready
Aim
Fire
Trust me on that one, I have been where you are MANY times in my life (just look at my portfolio if you don't believe me I kinda wish I'd hit DELETE a bit more often along the way! ) But mostly I've enjoyed the journey along the way. It only hurts when you stop moving!

Pick a technique...lets say a simple use of texture...stick to it whatever the source pic is.....
There was a time when i was obseessed by blendings, i wanted to blend anything with anything......yea with PS u can blend a table with a human back, a tv with a head, a motor with a rat... well whatever the source pic was...i just blended....tahts fun and skill-training way to do...
