"The advice I like to give young artists, or really anybody who’ll listen to me, is not to wait around for inspiration. Inspiration is for amateurs; the rest of us just show up and get to work. If you wait around for the clouds to part and a bolt of lightning to strike you in the brain, you are not going to make an awful lot of work. All the best ideas come out of the process; they come out of the work itself. Things occur to you. If you’re sitting around trying to dream up a great art idea, you can sit there a long time before anything happens. But if you just get to work, something will occur to you and something else will occur to you and something else that you reject will push you in another direction. Inspiration is absolutely unnecessary and somehow deceptive. You feel like you need this great idea before you can get down to work, and I find that’s almost never the case." - Chuck Close[/color]

The country, because I hate living around people.

Country or suburb.
I grew up in a small town, but away from the town part of it. We had basically one neighbor within sight. I consider that country, even though it's not as countryish as other people may prefer.
Then we moved to a suburb-type city. A lot of it is planned communities with cookie cutter houses on yards about big enough to put a small swimming pool.
Despite the squished housing, it was convenient. There were a few malls within a short distance and there was good shopping in general.
Then we moved back to where I grew up. It's beautiful here. The wildlife is really neat to see and it's great going outside and not seeing three houses with their windows staring down at me when I go in the yard.
There is some noise, but it's mostly from birds, not loud music or barking dogs or motorized scooters zooming down the street.
I miss the convenience of an average sized city, but it is beautiful here, and it's fun showing my younger siblings the places where I used to play (climbing on tree stumps and catching tadpoles in the marsh) when I was their age. There's plenty to draw here, too.
And there's actually space to get away! ^_^

After Animazement I drove to a small town I lived In Southern Pines, North Carolina. I was surprised after 40 years that a few things had changed but not alot. Small towns that were a few miles apart somehow end up growing together and closer. Thats one place I would want to live.
Another would be the small town my brother now lives Edinburg VA just to get out of the Washington, DC area. A very small town that you have to drive to the next town to go grocery shopping. To really go shopping you have to drive 30 min to the biggest city, but to read and hear that gangs have brought city crime to small cities or towns is a real bummer to anywhere you can live.

I personally <3 the city.. I've lived in the country my whole live and it's terribly boring -_-
But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

Anywhere where there is a such thing as a real fall and winter. I also always wanted to live somewhere that was close to mountains for snowboarding and hiking....sigh.

I would say Country or suburbs... I HATE cities! They are so crowded, dirty, etc. The traffic is awful, crime is high, and you just dont feel safe walking to the shops. Or maybe its just cause I was always raised in suburbs / country
