More inspiration - Beautiful Losers

For a while now I've owned (and been obsessed) witha book called Beautiful Losers, which chronicles to some extent a group of street artists who are mostly still in work today who gained notoriety during the 1990s. They are tied together by the Do-It-Yourself aesthetic and through common threads of street culture- skateboarding, graffiti, low-budget film production, and photography. Recently a film version was shown in theaters and the DVD is out now.
The most inspiring thing, to me, about this film and book are their motivational presence. You can see how people who weren't seeing what they wanted to see made it for themselves, and by extension made livings doing what they love.

Here is the Trailer:
