Creativity is the ability to recombine the minute details of nature into new forms and ideas. Over time It's becoming more and more strenuous to create combinations that contrast their predecessors, since the earth is only so big and the combinations are finite. 
Like an outfit, if you have 6 pairs of pants and 8 shirts, you will have only so many possible combinations. If you throw a tie in the mix, your world of possible combinations expands vastly. I am looking forward to the day that an object from a distant universe lands on our earth. Something completely un-relatable, a new colour, a new texture, a new concept. 
Just having laid eyes on an object that has no recognizable physical or social qualities would expand our creativity immensely.

"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 )
