Most creative work is a process of people passing ideas and inspirations from the past into the future and adding their own creativity along the way. ↗
What I love about the creative process, and this may sound naive, but it is this idea that one day there is no idea, and no solution, but the next day there is an idea. I find that incredibly exciting and conceptually actually remarkable. ↗
