Welcome to our activity on Mondays - Monday Muses!
It's all about the artists and artworks that inspire you!
There are many ways someone can be an inspiration. By displaying inspiring community spirit, or providing helpful resources for example. Or maybe you just stumbled over an amazing artwork that simply knocked you off your feet and inspired you to make something of your own right away. No matter what it is, we want you to share it!
Simply pick an artist or deviation you find inspiring in some way, and post them in a comment on this journal. Please also include why you chose that artist or artwork. Your suggestions will be featured next week!
If you want the feature to be a surprise for the deviant(s) you suggested, please leave away the '@' or :dev: when typing the username (and post links to artworks instead of thumbs), that way your Muses won't be notified of your comment here through the mentions system.
Also feel free to post this wonderful stamp the awesome a-neverending made on the profile pages of your Muses once the feature is published:

This week's Muses are:

"But now I want to particularly like to highlight the Scribbling-Mima, not only for its colors that inspire me a lot. But for all the love and support she offers, she has proven to be a good friend with a huge heart."
~ ShonemZone
"LASKANWLF is my greatest deviantArt Inspiration, not only in his comments but in his photography! It's hard to choose just one piece from his gallery but I'll have to go with this one"
~ Sassy-Cat-Sooo-Catty
"I'm a frustrated watercolorist (hence the digital arts. LOL) but Peet is definitely someone who inspired me to get up and try my hands at watercolors again. He's one of those bigger dA artists who stay humble and is outgoing and concerned enough to answer my questions about his art style. Thanks Peet for all your help! Here's to thank you!"

Will I also return
I was young as spring,
and held to an autumn's wind
like pomegranates
hung from the highest branches
before black crows hollowed them
•
autumn flurries came
with the scent of fallen fruit,
piles of dying leaves,
dark brothers crushed underfoot
to be shelter for next spring
"Jade is the kind of poet I strive, every day, to be like--her words are gorgeous, her poetry reaches in and hollows out (before refilling, mind you!) the deepest spaces of my heart and imagination, and SHE, herself, is a spirited, beautiful soul. I hope, when I grow up, to be just like her. She gives me hope. "
