How to Be Creative: I Want My Crayons Back, Please

Posted by TimSlavin at August 10, 2004

"Everyone is born creative; everyone is given a box of crayons in kindergarten.

Then when you hit puberty they take the crayons away and replace them with books on algebra etc. Being suddenly hit years later with the creative bug is just a wee voice telling you, 'I’d like my crayons back, please.'"

Some great ideas, thoughts, and advice about the creative life, whether your a designer or create new businesses. The summaries are insightful but the longer explanations are well worth a read. I especially like the Sex & Cash Theory, and a comment from a reader about how it applied to Van Gogh and his brother. From gapingvoid, Hugh MacLeod's weblog about how to be creative in a non-creative world. Found through Internet Brain.
