creativity 4.... it starts

I have decided in steed of just trying to figure out what creativity is, I'am going to try and decipher what make my creativity tick.... so to speak.

I will start of with what I now see creativity as, and then move on to trying to figure out the way that I'm inspired and why it inspires me... and what i hope to achieve with my creativity.

I think creativity isn't a state of mind or a part of you that thirsts for imagery in every thing it sees..... this is not right because if it where so then artist would never leave there house they be on the computer searching for imagery and would never leave, so I think that it is a sort driving need that keeps you going to create the best thing that you can and the 1 law I have all way agreed on with art is what my dad has told me since i was young is that you should never be happy with your work, because it is never done and once you think that you have achieved what you set out to do, then you have no more to give and that is why I am all ways unhappy with my work..... I guess that it is more of a way of life than a way to do art.... but none the less I live by that reasoning and it might be the answer that I'm searching for the reason behind my creativity but I don't know yet so I will keep searching for my creative path until I am sure of what make my brain or my heart give out what it does, and I will also look in to the different things that inspire me......!!!

I went to look at my home town the other day and it is a dismal waste of human interaction upon are earth, and this made me think that its not the town or the people in it that feed my creativity but the surrounding area in which i have grown up in and the things that
I have seen, I know there are sheep out here in wales and that they are bouring.............. its not the fact that the sheep suck, its the fact that the surrounding area inspires me to create some thing and in an area like the one I live in there is peace and you can listen to yourself and really get the idea down because you don't have no people, no cars and no fools walking around talking shit...... just the sound of a river slow and steady and a fire burning away in front of you.... I know I went of subject but its important stuff because I hope to find in my roots the key to my creativity, I don't know if what I'm looking for is there or not, but its a good place to start looking....... the past.

game city


aaaaa.... the game city thing good times......


right now game city was great fun, we did loads of things and had a great time, where shall I start....at the beginning I guess,

when we arrived in Nottingham we didn't realize the what we where getting in to, me and Tom LI shared a room and we had a laugh when we found out that are room was one with 2 double beds.

Tom rubbing his hand with joy,
that night we had to go and find out what we needed to do for games city, and meet the heads in charge, they where all cool guys and gals, after that we went to the gallery to see what work was there an if any of ours was, a small amount was on a screen jumping from image to image, and all the other work was shit.

but i meet Jon Burgerman and we had a long talk about creativity and about his art style and Wipe Out Fusion that he had just done the art work for, he went off to get ready for his speech and I looked around to see everyone getting steadily more drunk, which was fun.

after that me and Tom Li went for a siggy and we meet an ex-writer for edge magazine and he introduced us to the editor of edge magazine, after the gallery we went to the pub across the road , i forget the name of it where we where told not to stay late because of work and such the next day, did we listen ........ . . . .no!. we proceeded to have arm wrestles for a while and even got the Floyd (one of the heads) in to it. after which we then got really drunk, and started to shout random French words ... ha ha, nice to which a French guy came up to us because he thought we could speak French. to which i was so drunk that I was trying to worn him of Chav's and people of there nature. we stumbled back to the hotel and went to sleep.

the first day of work was interesting because when we got there I was chosen by Floyd to dress up as Darth Vader for a photo shoot so it could go in to the papers the next day so I was like OK that sounds cool little did i know the suit was intensely hot and i was dripping with sweet by the time i was done any way i went back to work on the square with the large screen, playing, Wii tennis after a while i started talking to all the tech guys in the back of the giant screen van...... what this is stupid u can only upload 1 vid thats not good...sorry....!!
the tech my god..

basically are job was to talk to people about games and to look over certain consoles and controllers and stuff like that,

that night we went to the party.

the next day and this was the funnest day out of the lot, because there where......



loads of stormtroopers and we had to take them down to the square because they cant see to good and it was well funny because people where freaking out all over the place because of them, and watching them playing Lego Star wars was class as well. Darth got owned only because he couldn't see very well. and when where taking them back Vader shouted in the street, Darth needs beer, .....well class ! !



so i got them to get a group photo of us guys and them....I have not the Patience for righting this blog so this is the first part of game city.....
