how I got my MoJo back

#1 Breaking and entering?..

Is that really how people get their kicks nowadays.

#2 Get a life Barry,

I wasnt actually condoning there past time, but for insperation, and quick referance material, this is an awesome site.

#3 There are some really great sites like that floating around. Abandoned But Not Forgotten has some neat locations that would make awesome game art.

#4 It's funny how the stragest things can inspire sometimes (Disclaimer: I don't advocate breaking and entering, although I couldn't find any pics of activity to not advocate anyway. ;0) )

Oh, almost forgot James, how's the crafting business going?

#5 Cool concept - I'll have to join up!!!

#6 Copenacre or Burlington

#7 Orgish, Stile, and Rotten and God knows how many carnage sites (and yes, I know Stile is not a carnage site, but there are often carnage or similar pictures there as well amongs the porn) are good sources of horrific reference art as well. Especially fro things that the local library might feel squeamish having on the shelves.

Business is just great at the moment. Just drawing contracts up for my first employee :D.

The point I was kinda trying to make with this blog, is that for teams on a tight budget/absolutly no budget ;) that there is places on the internet, where 100s of pictures are avaliable to use, for referance. For example, on this site there is pleanty of pictures or morgues, asylums etc etc, all places that the majority of us, can only speculate on there layout, and general 'feel' are. With these type of sites, we can actually look at interesting 'decayed' morgues, or rusty machinery and industrial kitchens etc etc. They are in my opinion very very useful.

I was in no way condoning breaking and entering, however you will notice, that the people who are involved in Urban Exploration are not kids, as some suggest, but grown men and woman, not vandalizing, or spraying walls, or setting fires, or doing ilegal drugs, but taking photos for referance. In many cases these photos, are the last remaining achival information of particular buildings, before they are flattend, and made into swanky apartments, or shopping complex.

Just my three bobs worth.

#9 Great stuff James, like I said, crafting is a hot sector right now! Good wishes on finding a great employee :0)! And yes, such images can serve as great reference/inspiration points!
