Creativity Tweets of the Week – 02/17/12 « The Artist's Road I’ve got blogging on the brain, most likely because I’m conducting two different blogging workshops in the next few weeks leading up to the class I’m conducting in April and May.

Page 2 2 years ago, my friends the Alexander-Mitchells served up my first taste of Chateau d’Yquem. It was a revelation. Crack cocaine in a bottle is how I think Andrew described it. I am not (was not) a fan of “dessert wines.” But the Alexander-Mitchells, well, they know a thing or two about a thing or two. Handmade tasting cards next to the empty bottle of d’Yquem. Our victims. Some of the wines had turned into vinegar, and were ceremoniously dumped down the drain. But the Chateau d’Yquem. Everything I had experienced from a culinary perspective prior to this simple little dessert + wine pairing seemed, well, dull. We had a second bottle the next night, where the charming wine —again— raced effortlessly to the head of the Bordeaux pack. I haven’t had d’Yquem since that weekend.
THE LAB The Creative Pathfinder When you set out to earn a living from your creative talent, you’re aiming pretty high. Whether you’re an artist, designer, writer, actor, musician, filmmaker, entrepreneur, or working in another creative field, you know that competition is fierce and only stellar work gives you a chance of success. If you’ve been in the business for any length of time, you’ve probably also noticed that creativity is not enough. Like it or not, things like motivating yourself, choosing the right career path, managing your workflow, understanding your intellectual property rights, building a reputation, and convincing others of your worth can make or break your career. But if you’re anything like me, the idea of a conventional job is something to be avoided at all costs. This is why I’m inviting you to become a Creative Pathfinder, and take an alternative route to success… The course is taught by me – Mark McGuinness – based on my 15+ years’ experience of coaching and training creatives of all kinds. P.S.
Are We Being Creative Yet? “One of the advantages of being disorderly is that one is constantly making exciting discoveries,” A.A. Milne, of Winnie-the-Pooh fame, once noted. It’s a quotation that is included in all kinds of books, from Meditations for New Parents to The Girls’ Guide to AD/HD, because it provides such solace to the chaotically inclined. But it’s small consolation to anyone responsible for producing creative ideas on a reliable basis. Wouldn’t it be better if exciting discoveries emerged at the end of an orderly process—in other words, one more susceptible to management? Instead, we are stuck with mystery and serendipity, a process so vague that serious students of product development call it the “fuzzy front end” of innovation. Jonah Lehrer, author of Imagine: How Creativity Works, helps us appreciate how tricky it will be to apply more discipline to imagination. In the clichéd language of management, this is the science of thinking outside the box. For Vijay V.
17 creative websites to bookmark (unless you are dumb)! At the risk of having you never come back to this site, I have compiled a list of 17 other sites to feed your creative appetite. Dozens more could have been added to this list (perhaps there will be a sequel to it). Most of the sites included here do not get the credit they deserve, and even the popular ones deserve even more attention. In no particular order: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 20 x 200 – When 20×200 first started prints were available in runs of 200 for the bargain basement price of $20. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. So there’s the list! Whitney Johnson The Moment-ous Conversation April 14, 2013 “It’s just not that easy,” said my husband kindly, but with just a hint of exasperation. We were watching with our 12 year-old daughter Kurt Warner’s The Moment, a new reality show about giving people a second chance to chase their dreams. Tracie Marcum, the episode’s protagonist, had always wanted to be a photographer for Sports Illustrated. Instead of saying yes immediately, she starts hand-wringing. Backseat television watcher that I am, I turned to my husband saying, “Why is she so indecisive? It was so clear cut to me. Sensing there was something juicy here, our daughter asked, “What are you talking about?” Yes, she’s old enough we decided, so he told her the story. A few years ago, my husband got a call to interview at his alma mater BYU. When you achieve a dream, you likely have a Michael Oher, a left tackle in our life, a person who has your back. But the price can be high — while the quarterback makes headline grabbing passes, left tackles get bruises and contusions.
