Creativity is intelligence having fun

The worst thing is feeling that creativity is a job Not having fun with creating the things that you love most ...

Deadlines are a major source of feeling that what we are creating  has no higher purpose but in essence  creating is a Devine purpose!

Procrastination is the killer of creativity

Media today is our best friend or our worst enemy.

To create is a long and thought provoking process distractions is inevitable  but since media is such a big part of our lives a form of inspiration can be the biggest destraction making us vulnerable to creative stagnation.

Even now typing this entry I've checked my Facebook status twice and my other tab is pintrest making something takes time and thought and personaly procrastination is my biggest problem.

Procrastination is such a universal problem and to say i have a solution is to lie.

All i can tell you is what i do

• Make goals 
• Make your goals achievable 
• Reward yourself for being on time 
• Take an hour out of your day and procrastinate away 
• Make sure to finish all the high prioraty tasks when you get heme 
• Let Facebook be  

and  a bit go self control never hurt any one

Art is Fear

When i create a take my brush and paint fear onto my canvas 

The world through the lens i create it and i cringe canvasing my  surroundings

Fear is when you aren’t brave

Fear is why you aren’t brave

Fear takes over when putting canvas on the wall 

Fear is like an ashtray

You can't throw away 

 Fear of change 

Fear of hard work 

Fear of not being accepted 

Fear of self worth

Fear of success 

fear can make the biggest man a small crumpled up shadow of himself you are amazing the product of  years and years of change and evolution your creativity is not simply a random product, it is a divine calling 

Taking the leap and making something can be a terrifying experience and showing that to other people is probably the one thing that make good artists great ones the ability to take the bow believing in yourself taking doubt and making it something beautiful the ability ti share your talent 

Quantity or Quality

The eternal question how to we create, do we make one perfect piece or do we make 10 okay ones.
The question is how do we make the perfect piece is it by luck or is it by simply sitting down and testing bits of ideas.

Personally i feel quantity breeds quality making 50 or even 100 pieces will result in the final amazing piece.

When I'm out with the camera I always try and take as photos as possible because getting the one amazing shot is more likely.

Taking the time to write down or draw something new and re evaluating it a 100 times will make a difference in every thing you create

Question everything!

"terrorism is the war of the poor and powerless.War is the terrorism of the rich and powerful "


What does it mean 

• why the poor and powerless
• why terrorism
• why unknown
• is this a personal opinion or a human truth 
• why the contrast

Questions breed questions and when you have the right questions you can get the right answers 

Asking and doubting is the way an artist creates .. art is but the mirror to the world 

Method to madness

The one thing we forget as creatives is that ideas don't magically appear when you are in the right place at the right time we have to work through ideas and use techniques to create the one idea that is a whole made out of parts.

Edward de bono's thinking hats help me in this regard taking all the steps one by one makes coming up with a good executable idea easy.

When looking at any problem or idea it is crucial to understand the individual parts of it and work with them individual.

Here is the de bono thinking hats follow the process next time you have to generate an idea and see if it changes your perspective.

The First Word

The First step in the creative journey is always the hardest, taking the leap forward is not easy but when you  search for inspiration its always important to look at the the people that inspire you most 

For me it was 
BAnksy a infamous street artist in the UK and now all over the world
Stan lee the co creator of marvel comics 
Mike Brown a Youtuber and Photographer
Jr artist a french artist 
And John meyer  an amazing musician

These men all tell a story through creativity and that is my goal!! 

Until next time
