Yesterday I started a new semester at The Des Moines Art Center, teaching teens fantasy art. I've taught there for over a decade now ( O_O ) and I tried something I've never done before! It was super fun too, at least it got more interaction and conversation from the teens than usual.
I made three categories: symbol/animal/fantasy figure
There were ten in each category, folded up and placed in three cups. The kids divided a large sheet of drawing paper into eight sections and then drew whatever I pulled from the cups. Finally they picked one they liked and elaborated for the final.
I didn't draw with them during the eight, but I did sit and draw with them during the final. My personal favorite was
leaf + rabbit + elf

Sophie is another artist who draws her inspiration from Craigslist’s Missed Connections. She posts he illustrations (each lettered by hand) on her blog:
Every day hundreds of strangers reach out to other strangers on the strength of a glance, a smile or a blue hat. Their messages have the lifespan of a butterfly. I’m trying to pin a few of them down.

I really like these sorts of things, picking up on these hidden details, seemingly mundane and unimportant but for some reason so interesting when brought to light.
Lovely illustrations make it all the more interesting too of course :)
