Pete Dakota fancies himself Gregoropolis's resident artist, but he's been having some inspiration blocks lately...
Pete Dakota: >Sigh<
Pete: I think my muse took off for the weekend.
Nothing for it but to sit and have a think. Maybe with a 'cocktail' and chat with one of one's favorite painters...
Pete: What did you do, Vincent, when you couldn't think of anything to paint?
Vincent Van Gogh: Well, my boy, sometimes creativity is a long time in coming.
Vincent: But, you've got to paint every day! Even if just little sketches.
Now, look here. I painted sunflowers for my friend Paul.
Vincent: Lovely, aren't they?
Pete: They're beautiful!
Vincent: Look around you and paint what you see.
Pete: What I see?
Vincent: Yes! When I was in the, er, hospital, I could see a wheatfield out my window. That was my muse, and I painted several canvases of it. Just paint what you see!
Vincent: You've got to have a lust for life, boy!
You can do it!
Pete: A lust for life! Mix up the oils and open the shades!
Here I go! Thank you, Vincent!

Hmm. What will he paint? "Paint what you see"... Hmmm.
I'm SO curious!!!
oh, boy, I need a Vincent V. of the sewing world to help me get my mojo back, too, Pete, so I understand completely! Can't wait to see what you create.
Phew! I'm so glad Vincent did recommend he cut off an eye to get some inspiration!
There is nothing like getting a mental block when you want to be creative but I'm sure it will pass. I'm looking forward to see just how Vincent's inspired him..
