Creativity is a wonderful dream, and we have absolutely no intention of waking up.

While sensible people are busy making five-year plans, we're wondering whether a photograph can tell a joke, if a melody secretly wants to become a book, or whether a blank sheet of paper is simply waiting to be politely startled.

We write, paint, design, photograph, compose, sing, build, dismantle, rebuild, celebrate the occasional masterpiece, quietly escort the spectacular disasters out the back door, then invite them back in because they usually have the best stories.

We collect ridiculous ideas like some people collect stamps, firmly believing that every truly terrible idea is only one cup of coffee away from becoming a brilliant one. We fail enthusiastically, improve accidentally, laugh constantly, and repeat the whole gloriously questionable process until something wonderful appears.

If, somewhere along the way, we make you smile, think, wonder, or spill your coffee because you weren't expecting any of it, then we'd say it was a pretty good day's work.
