I have just watched this vid on John Cleese speaking on creativity, it is a bit old now (1991 I believe) but I have only discovered it myself - infact, it was sent to me by my very creative cousin, Josh Lock: electronic music of all kinds and photographer with a true eye.Very helpful to hear creativity described in such a cogent way; I hope it helps me write ...

Last month I had the pleasure of attending the second annual New York City Poetry Festival on Governor's Island. I met some great tattooed poets, but I also ran into a few tattooed poetry fans, one of whom was Bailey, who has this cool tattoo on her foot:The chain from this pocket watch runs up and around part of her calf, which makes this piece even...

A piece by Mike appeared here on Tattoosday back in 2010.When I asked Rus if there was a particular story...
