"Images I Love to Reference. Vol 1"

Welcome to the first volume of "Images I Love to Reference", a visual archive of the digital imagery that has inspired my artistic journey. As an artist and creator, I often encounter visuals that stir something deep within me—images that tell stories, evoke emotion, or spark an idea. This blog series is my way of sharing those moments of inspiration with you.

In each volume, you’ll find 50 digital images that have shaped my creative process.


I do not own the copyrights to these images, nor do I claim the right to sell them. This is simply an open archive—a collection curated to inspire, motivate, and spark creativity for all who visit. Think of it as a personal reference library that I’m opening to the world.


Every two weeks, a new volume will drop, showcasing 50 more pieces of digital art, photography, and visual expressions. Let this series be a visual retreat, where you can explore the art that drives my passion and perhaps find some inspiration of your own.



Here’s the schedule for upcoming volumes of "Images I Love to Reference":

  • Volume 2: October 15, 2024

  • Volume 3: October 29, 2024

  • Volume 4: November 12, 2024

  • Volume 5: November 26, 2024

  • Volume 6: December 10, 2024

Thank you for taking the time to explore this collection of inspiration with me. I hope these images ignite your own creative fires as they’ve done for me. Feel free to share these image, or your thoughts in the comments and check back for the next volume in two weeks. Together, let’s keep pushing the boundaries of creativity and storytelling through art.

Stay inspired,

-Lakeem Wilson
