"What is Creativity?"

[zaphodeist]

How I came to it? Plato ... partly ... and all night sessions mentally meandering I suppose it's akin to the Big-Bang theory - Creation is built up of innumerable creations ... bright ideas that are unique or which add to something already in existence. Plato would say the Ideal Forms exist in the Real World [as opposed to the shadow world we are aware of and inhabit] and we 'remember' bits of these. I think new things can be created and therefore Creation is expanding. No religious inferences need be taken from this, it is merely the nature of things

I'm not a cartoonist that's for sure, but I thought this would fit in with the theme of creating a character for this challenge.

No, I won`t tell you how I came to this, you look and your brain asks itself
why what etc. so your mind wonders (and wanders) and so it instills creativity
to your mindseye, that is the secret.
Art should explain itself, it is not the artist but the brain of the viewer that fills
in the picture. And what you see, is you.
If I tell you what or why it is, it is set, and it loses it's creativity.
