It has been said before and it can be said again and again but inspiration for art can come from the most unusual places. But no matter where the inspiration for art comes from, it can really touch you. Take steampunk art for instance; it combines elements from the past going back to the industrial revolution and the present to make art that is unique and really eye catching. It is like looking at eye catching abstract painting ideas where we wonder what made the artist painting what he or she did even as we admire the end result.
