"Creativity to me is being able to do something everybody is doing. Because i have come to terms with the old adage that says something about nothing new under the sun' blah blah' and achieve the same or better results using unconventional procedures, usually easier, quicker or more effective. Take for instance how children think. If you gave a problem to two people to solve, one a child and the other an adult, the solution the child will propose will more likely be the more creative option because such a child would not yet have gone through the life processes that inhibit creativty. I think everybody is born with that inate abilty to think and act creatively, however these abilities are easily killed or mutilated by the formal procedures of human behaviours picked up later in life. Being a creative adult i must say would require great effort in 'ungrowing' and 'unlearning'. Turning back the clock.

"Creativity happens when we allow ourselves to explore. When we explore, we test new and different ways to solve problems or to express ourselves. That's when magic truly happens " - Scott Withers (graphic designer/interior architect) And a Star Trek quote!

"I often think of my creative process as two parts. It starts as spontaneous drawings. I draw whatever I have in my mind first, based on the concept of the project. This is more like doodling. After doing so for a while, I start looking at the drawing as a design. That means that I digest the drawing, simplify it, exaggerate, add things and so on. This second part of the process is carefully calculated  and time consuming, compared to the spontaneous first part. At the same time, these two process are important to each other. If one is incomplete, then I will not be satisfied with the result of the design at the end. Everything I design goes through these phases, and I do enjoy both parts of the process in different ways." - Junichi Tsuneoka (illustrator/designer/founder of Stubborn Sideburn )
