creativity 5....unfolding

In the last blog I talked about how I was going to find out the source of my creativity, In fact i got in to a convo with my dad over Christmas about graffiti, because he sees it as chavs tagging where as there are 2 types of graffiti there is tags to mark terrortory and there are actual pieces of art, the conversation went on for ages he believes that all graffiti if crime because it is doing some thing to others property and is illegal where as I think that graffiti is a lack of inspiration in young people
because of buildings in this country..... i know it doesn't make sense give me a sec to exsplane .......right you only see graffiti on ugly buildings that don't inspire, I mean you don't see it on churches or a nice building or a new building (I'm not talking about tags here, tags are done by the stupid people I'm talking about the art side of things) I think that the only reason we have graffiti is because of the depressing sceene that we live in, i belive graffiti is a byproduct of building every thing cheap and boring in the 70's and i don't think it will get better. the thing is that the people that are resopsible for the problem will not understand it they dismiss it as vandalism, which it is...don't get me wrong, its vandalism with a purpose !!


ok sorry where was I right the map of creativity........ right what makes me creative, I suppose that there are 2 driving factors there is a desire to beat my rivals and and my brothers and sisters, I know wanting to beat you own family ... not many people can understand it......I wont go in to it. and the other is to perfect the skill that i have learnt over the past 7 years I suppose that everyone has these desires maybe not the same as mine but similar to mine, to understand the what inspires me I have to understand the things that drives me.

I guess that the driving points are like a pillar in which all my inspiration sits and with out this pillar there would be no inspiration on top.......no thats stupid and it doesn't work like that.
ok so if I need to find out why i am inspired by some thing, I will need to understand the reason for the for inspiration in general and I have a basic grasp on this topic I believe that the mid of a creative person strives to create some thing that has not been created before and all tho there are many things that inspire me to create I believe that I have certain thing that help me more than others like some bits of music( if I'm drawing some thing like a robot or some thing i lissen to crazy robot music to try and get the feel for what I'm drawing, but some times my hand will be taken by the music and it will practically draw by it self) i believe that there is a part of our brain that we can switch off in and divert all are energy in to creating and I think i would be a good idea if i find out how this works because I've done it about 6 times and it all ways gives good work.

thats where I'm going to stop for the day because i have many things to do..bye thanks for reading.
