The Creative Cookie

I saw this man walking on the Lower East Side, and I had to ask "can I take your picture?"

Here is the woman who rode the retro yellow bike to meet her friend, this man.
I just love the fact that they are both wearing prints.

Infamous Question

Here is a repost of the very first, The Creative Cookie, blog entry: 

“Are you an artist?” is a question that I’ve been asked by some, but responded “no” to until recently. A group of us were preparing to walk to a concert in a nearby park, and a friend of a friend turned to me and asked that infamous question and I said, “yes I am”. For years I’ve responded with an array of hesitant statements that ranged from “I like to play in clay” to “I am an artist supporter and I like design” to just plain “no”. That August afternoon, I was able to respond in an affirmative way because I've started being intentional about developing my talent to live a life that's more creative.

I’d like to use the Creative Cookie blog to explore deeper questions, such as “what does creativity feel like”, to make a space for other unsure artists to emerge. This blog also will serve as a diary of my creative journey. So, you’ll get a glimpse of my artistic process and the adventures that I encounter along the way.

From one Creative Cookie to another, WELCOME!
