There is a fella named Brendan, aka Semi-Rad, who has a podcast where he conversates with folks about creative things that have impacted their lives. It got me thinking, and I could give you a list of creative work I've loved over the years (The Muppet Show, Homage to the Square, Fantastic Mr. Fox, Vija Celmins' ocean drawings, and maybe a Borges short story... though any five choices would likely be different on a different day), but my favorite favorite things, those that inspire me in the biggest way are below.
