Inspiration in My Inbox

May 28, 2009

Everyday, I come home excited to check my email, searching for the one titled “Today” in the subject line. I am welcomed with inspirational images from Eric Baker of Eric Baker Design Associates and Design Observer. Eric’s “Today” series is a collection of images he has found on the web which he then emails to a large group of artists or posts to the Design Observer website. Sometimes there is an obvious theme, but most of the time they are random.
