A music CD I ordered arrived Friday…and with it came the unexpected bonus of a “paper jet model” that tied in with the album’s concept design. By “paper model” I mean several printed sheets of airplane parts that result in a detailed stylized space jet. I had several things that needed to be done yesterday, but my creativity monster said “No. You’re making that jet plane.” And I did. It took me all day, but I did it, and it gave me a sense of accomplishment I really needed.
Sometimes, you just have to put your worries and pressing need to get every task done aside, and exercise your soul a bit with a creative project. Some people, however, take this yen to the next level.

Since Aug. 31 is the birthday of Japanese vocaloid “superstar” Hatsune Miku, here’s a reminder the powers that be deemed ALL Miku fan cosplay and art ideas as canon. That includes this epic crossover Hatsune Miku and Warhammer 40K cosplay:
Fashion and cosplay aren’t just for the young and those with disposable income. This grandma and her grandson poke fun at top designers and show creativity is for everyone.
Who says you have to stay indoors to be creative? Nature gives us a limitless supply of artistic materials:
“Performance art” sometimes conjures up the idea of psuedo intellectual abstract dribble, but in the hands of people with a sense of whimsy, it is terrific. Check out this little street performing pianist:
One shoutout to an actual company using creativity right. Little easter egg nods to Dolly Parton, Tim Curry and Peter Cullen, who all left us last week, have appeared in Roku devices:
And then there’s this guy…because a metal artist crowd surfing in a big inflatable Viking Ship needs to exist in the world. More power to him:
So, get creative!
It doesn’t matter if you share your project with the world, or just keep it on the shelf in your workspace. It’s something crazy and fun that didn’t exist before…and that makes our little corner of the world a better place.
