Artists and designers often use inspiration boards to help them conceptualize and create something new, but I think writers can too! And while I may not be a visual artist in any conventional sense, there are certain aesthetics, colors, images, objects, and people to which/whom I am fiercely attracted, and from which I find personal "artistic" inspiration. Every now and then, I will compile these in a themed blog post. For now, let's take a dip into Gotham City...
