Entering into the professional creative world, I discovered this website called 99u. Here is a video from the site. I hope you enjoy it.
Tina Seelig: The 6 Characteristics of Truly Creative People from 99U on Vimeo.
Determined not to just write just another book on creativity, Stanford professor Tina Seelig painstakingly researched what makes good ideas spring forward. The result is her "innovation engine," a special mix of six characteristics like attitude, resources and environment.
But the special concoction of forces that makes our ideas come to life is nothing with out the willingness to fail. “Most call it failure, but we scientists just call it data,” she says. The most creative organizations and people embrace experimentation to get the needed data to determine they’re on to something.
"Workers are puzzle builders, stuck when missing a piece," she says. Truly creative people "are quilt makers — they can fit anything together."

El Nopal
Hello Everyone! I know it has been a while and I promise you the new site is coming soon. I have been so busy making art work and working on school projects that it has been hard for me to blog with all the time I have been having to spending on graphic design. I am sure you can understand :) I thought it would be fun to take a break from the computer and worked on a painting for an art show that I will be participating in this Saturday. The theme for the show is Loteria, the Mexican bingo game. There will be over 52 other Santa Barbara artists doing the other cards and I chose to do "El Nopal" or the cactus, commonly known in Mexico as "tunas." The piece is 16" X 20" hope you enjoy the pics and I really hope you can make it by Muddy Waters on Saturday.
