"I always find it odd when an idea I have or an artwork I produce is called "creative". 
What is being creative? Isn't everybody at some point being creative? Isn't it human nature to be creative? I feel we inherently have a tendency to use whatever is available to us to make our lives more interesting, but its the "creatives" among us that end up actually doing so. Children use anything they can find as play things and create their own narratives. Its when we grow up and put limitations and rules on ourselves that we lose that sense of freedom. 
It's time to follow Picasso's example and try to think like children again and find the wonder in our everydays."

"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 )
