I see inspiration as a collective thing rather than a specific source. I used to frequent design blogs a lot more, but don't find myself spending as much time on those anymore. I tried different bookmarking solutions but still prefer just dragging images into a folder on my desktop whenever something catches my eye. I've compiled a giant folder of images that I go to when I need a spark.

As far as beverages, either coffee (see my response to Paul for more on that) or water. My all-time favorite snack is home made chocolate chip cookies, but most days just trail mix or pita chips.

Music varies quite a bit, but a few bands I've really been digging: Ben Howard, London Grammar, Joywave, Aurora, Phoria, James Blake.
