Exercise, Eating Right and Creativity
The British Journal of Sports Medicine 10 years ago had this little article about Exercise increases creativity.
As I am on my journey right now to lose some weight and just live a healthier existence overall, I decided to look a few other places as to how it may relate to creativity.
I found this Exercise article via Google that summed up what a person could anticipate through a regular exercise routine. Read the full article to see what they did.

Art and Design
There is a debate that has raged on about this subject for quite awhile. I am currently following one over here.

In your artistic journey, where are you?

Finding Yourself Finding your Artwork
I don’t know if you’ve ever had this particular experience. Someone approaches you and says “sure, we’ll display your art” then they hang it on a wall that is so cluttered that you can’t even find your own work yourself. I know I’ve had the privilege of having this experience and it irked me.
If you’ve ever experienced this, leave a comment and tell us all about it.
Also, while you are at it, submit your art and I’ll give it a post all it’s own.
I am back…. New Studio/Wood shop Coming.
So I am finally back from my week of rest and just got through my 80+ emails that had piled up in my gmail account. Thanks for putting up with the Flickr updates via cell phone for the week and the one actual post.
The other news is that I am in the process of putting together a studio/wood shop here in the next few weeks. Over Father’s day dinner with my parents, I mentioned that I would like to get into doing more woodworking and even a little framing on the side. So we decided to rent …read more
