Today I stumbled on a Ted Talk with Kirby Ferguson.  He claims that everything is a remix and that there is nothing truly new.   Essentially creativity isn't about making something new, but copying, transforming, and combining what's already out there. 

A number of people believe this intuitive notion of creativity, of this brilliant genius who creates something totally new and wows everybody. If you listen to this Ted Talk, you may come out of there thinking that everything is a remix and that people always have influences and are putting things together that existed before in new ways. So, what is creativity? 

If you subscribe to the idea of the remix as a way to produce things, should we begin to worry that what we produce as a culture is not innovating things so much as recycling old things. Is that something that we should worry about? Should we avoid this? Or can we avoid this?

I will leave you with these thoughts.

Here are my latest paintings

Here are a number of small ones that are either at Da Artisti Gallery or are at the Wall Candy Fine Art Pop up in Carlingwood mall. BTW, this is the last day for this pop up.

Have a great week
