    A muse is the person that inspires an artist or designer….models are often said to be the particular muse of a designer.

    A muse is something that gives to the idea. I have never heard of a muse being called a tiger or anything like that, though. Basically, it is another name for imagination and creativity. I write short stories, but i can only seem to write in the winter months, my muse runs away in the summer.

    A muse is your inspiration or wht you are using to work off,
    for example if an artist is painting someone nude
    they are their muse.
