Great article Aidan!

Creativity is an energy and once its stuck it can make you sick. Unbloking this energy is not easy but it is very important, sometimes trying a different way to create is enough to release the flow.

I really enjoyed reading your article, thanks for sharing.

Good article. I always suffer from perfectionism because I want my work to sell and have more money and all that. It’s due to my teachers in college trying to fail me and all that just because they think my artwork won’t even sell.

@Aidan: I think Jae meant marijuana :)
Great article, some very good pointers. I have seen and recommend “The Secret”. Spiritual or not, the truth is that when you want it, when you see yourself achieving it, you get it.

Great article, good no-nosense advice about getting yourself in the right mind-set to be creative. I think a lot of the time we forget to look after ourselves and this often the root of the problem. Taking time out to get some fresh air often helps me gain a new perspective.

I would highly recommend going for a walk, jog or even a bike ride. Most of my ideas come while I’m out and about and it can be really helpful to just get away from your desk, computer and workspace and let your mind wander and catch up. Works really well for me! Great tips in this article too.

@Jae: Sorry, but who’s this Mary Jane?

When all else fails… there is always Mary Jane. She helped me get more creative when I had creative block when I was freelancing in high school.

After jotting down my ideas, reading them the next day, and materializing the concept, I won the $5k design contract. :)
