Arriving into London Heathrow from New York JFK, 23rd August 2015. The aircraft wears a special licery to mark GREAT Festival of Creativity in Shanghai.

About creativity, they write (amongst many other things): It is the ability to "think outside the box" ! I ask: WHAT BOX???? LOL

I must admit that as a 'creative',

1. being a night-person, my 'best' ideas mostly come after midnight!

2. it is an urge, not a choice... and

3. ... as soon as you have 'problems', however small, with client, family, health... the first thing to GO is: my creativity! So please, tee hee, do not upset me, he?

Characteristics of the creative personality:

Creative individuals have a great deal of energy, but they are also often quiet and at rest.

Creative individuals tend to be smart, yet also naive at the same time.

Creative individuals have a combination of playfulness and discipline, or responsibility and irresponsibility.

Creative individuals alternate between imagination and fantasy at one end, and rooted sense of reality at the other.

Creative people seem to harbour opposite tendencies on the continuum between extroversion and introversion.

Creative individuals are also remarkable humble and proud at the same time.

Generally, creative people are thought to be rebellious and independent.

Most creative persons are very passionate about their work, yet they can be extremely objective about it as well.

The openness and sensitivity of creative individuals often exposes them to suffering pain yet also a great deal of enjoyment.

I recognise myself COMPLETELY in this!

I feel stifled and somehow "afraid" to be completely honest and upfront about how I view my vision..This was not the vision I had when I started this photo...and I get frustrated by the fact that I cannot always "shoot" what I mean.....maybe though.....something better comes......

I hope you will all stay tuned in,.... because I am hoping to create a spin off off this one, and call it ........"inebriated creativity" ..... lol.. It should be loads more fun.

"Of course when I talk about "being creative," chances are that I am talking about something artistic. But, I think having that kind of bounds around a word keeps it from being accessible to everybody. A scientist is incredibly creative, just as is a mechanic and anyone else who spends their time doing typically left-brained things.

I chose "Boundless Creativity" for my tagline because to me, it's the essence of freedom."

"Creativity with my failures are endless," perfectly captures how mistakes aren't roadblocks but fuel for innovation, providing infinite opportunities to learn, experiment, and discover unique solutions, making failure an essential, boundless resource for true creative growth, as seen in history's greatest innovators who embraced missteps. The watercolor painting was not good on paper ,,, put gesso over the work ....and used creativity , restore the eyes and textured background. Thanks for the visit have a nice day

I need more of those creativity overkills. I did draw and paint a little, take pictures obviously, wrote, and read a lot, cooked and baked.

Ha! I wish these days were not so rare. I also know I need to consciously make the time and the effort - so I'm going to get better at that.

Nashaz is a new cultural and artistic space located at Tour & Taxis in Brussels. It is shaped as an inclusive haven designed to amplify voices that do not fit the mold. By providing a sanctuary for underrepresented communities, the venue allows for a celebration of difference and radical joy.

It serves as a platform where creativity and collective resistance take center stage, offering an unconditional sense of belonging within the city.

Rotational Zoom ICM

A shot while playing with settings I really liked how it dragged the words from the screen.

In the 1980s much weird folk roamed the streets of the USA, but some stood out even in that candy-colored time. Those were the heroes and villains known as the Mighty Misfits!

Beakon

Did you ever hear a pecking noise on your roof at night? It might be a giant yellow bird-ish man, known as Beakon! Aspiring to be a signal of hope for men and birds alike, Beakon hops from roof to roof to catch burglars, cats and other scum before they can hurt one more feathery friend!

Which part of him is man and which is bird could not yet be determined, however.

Cabbage Man

One day, Cabbage Man was sick of the food culture he saw around him. Everyone was turning vegetarian! No one, except Cabbage Man, seemed to understand that vegetables are so much more suited for fighting crime than eating them! So he geared up, packed his greens, and went out on the streets, always equipped with the freshest, healthiest food - to throw it at the bad guys!

Sometimes, it was debated whether he should rather be called Lettuce Man, and due to his philosophy of never giving interviews, the matter could never be settled, leaving the newspapers in despair.

Wicked Wingspan

Not your usual crazy scientist with the awesome tech, Wicked Wingspan is not actually able to fly. His suit is just that fancy - and includes invisible stilts (he found at a dumpster one day). Also, his master plan to spray everyone around with bronzer never quite works out, because he can’t seem to figure out how to get it under people’s clothes. But he really believes in it, and one day he will find the actual scientist with the knowledge to help him get it done!

The Moist Menace

Breaking onto the crime fighting scene as a three-eyed fish with dangerous … water guns, I guess? …, The Moist Menace fights crime not out of moral conviction, but because he wants to be the only villain in town! That’s right, the guy is part of the team of heroes only as long as the crazy dude with the flappy wings is history. Everybody knows that for he never tires to claim superiority of his evil creativity over Wicked Wingspan’s. However, no one quite beliefs it or simply doesn’t care. Once, it was rumored that Menace’s secret identity was an actual person, but it seems pretty obvious that he is just a fish with the usual two eyes.

Princess Candypop

Nobody ever looked that sweet when fighting crime! Princess Candypop may strike some as just a usual young woman, but with a piece of her special cherry gummy candy, she develops super human strength and shining purple eyes in an instant! And what better to do with this power than make the world a happier place! Ironically, the crime rate apparently has risen since Princess Candypop appeared on the streets, because many young men yearn for a chance to meet this lovely young lady, even if that means breaking the law.

Here are my 80s-inspired Heroes and Villains for the third round of the figbarfcentral tournament! These figures were a lot of fun to make! Also big thanks to my friend Mr. Grievous for writing part of the story!

Entropy ≥ Memory ● Creativity ²

__________________________________________________

Study of the day:

Le passé ne cesse pas d'exister mais seulement d'être utile. Le rappel actif des souvenirs le fait bien voir : nous ne plongeons pas dans le passé comme dans un sac de pommes pour en tirer les souvenirs enfouis ; nous ne saisissons pas le passé depuis notre présent, par un acte d'imagination mais plutôt là où il est, en nous installant d'un coup dans l'être du passé tout entier. Or, cela signifie justement que c'est le passé qui est, et le présent qui devient. C'est le présent de l'action qui ne cesse de passer, tandis que le passé de l'activité latente ne cesse pas d'être¹.

¹ A nouveau, le passé se conserve en soi, et cela a pour conséquence notable que c'est l'oubli qu'il convient d'expliquer, bien davantage que la conservation du souvenir.

The past does not cease to exist but only to be useful. The active reminder of memories shows it well: we do not dive in the past as in a bag of apples seeking buried remembrances ; we do not seize the passed since our present, by an act of imagination but rather there where it is, installing ourselves immediately in the whole past of being. But this means precisely that this is the past which is, and the present which becomes. The present of action does not cease to pass, while the past of latent activity does not cease to be ¹.

¹ Again, the past is preseverating in itself, and this has the significant result that this is forgetting that has to be explained, much more that the preservation of memory.
