The beret has nothing to do with it, of course. Lacquering dog poop
might qualify as creative, but how much credit should go to the dog?
It might be hard to sell at first, but if you can get it into a
prestigious museum or gallery, you might be able to start a
"movement."

Need I say TIC?




"The Act of Creation" by Arthur Koestler is The best source for
understanding creativity.

"A Whack on the Side of the Head" and similar titles, are very good for
stimulating creativity.

Act is the academic view, Whack the pragmatic problem solving view.
