yes. and the idea that by removing our will from the creative process, we can liberate ourselves from our own limitations

well... i agree with you. and i think it's important enough to be willing to say 'where' for me? closing my eyes and drawing, playing, with my aposite hand (left v right) playing, or drawing what i can imagine rather than what i hear or see: the sound behind my head, beneath my chair; the relative p...

kenny werner's book is great. it's not easy to write about the imagination, and educating it, but he did. i was 27, and in the fine art foundations program at st martin's school of art in london, when i first learned from some amazing teachers that i could create authentically - from within - withou...

We were watching Harry Potter people lining up at Barnes and Noble and Target today - reminds me of China - and buying Mao's poetry like chewing gum at the checkout.

I just got back from Beijing. And now we're moving again. So change is in the air. You do hear the same blues-based sounds from popular radio as you might in Europe, but they mostly have a Chinese accent. I would go to Starbucks for Jazz - not really, but it's about the only place I ever heard "...
