"An artist must be open to the muse. The greater the artist, the more he is open to “cosmic currents.” He has to behave as he does. If he has “the courage to be an artist,” he is committed to behave as the mood possesses him. . . .

The price an artist pays for doing what he wants is that he has to do it."

-William S. Burroughs

Creatively Conflicted

Creative people have to deal with the monsters in their mind. We are conflicted......we argue with ourselves and usually do nothing but create mental scrambled eggs in our heads. Time usually sorts things out, but we create a lot of confusion in the meantime. Round and round and round we go and where we land nobody knows.

The Fast Company Leadership Now website has an interesting post on the 10 Paradoxical Traits Of Creative People. Faisal Hoque has some interesting points for the creatively conflicted. A interesting read. 10 Paradoxical Traits Of Creative People

Sign From Mars

This sign has marked the way from Illinois to Milwaukee for many years. It's so circa 1950's type design is what makes it. The store building has changed but the sign remains the same. A true cheddar curtain icon.
