I don’t know about you, but at the end of February (with the ice storms and the sleet pouring down), I usually look down to find my hands empty. No camera. No paint brush. No pen. In the past I’ve told myself that this is my creative fallow time and that I need the downtime to recharge. The problem is (although that sounds nice and all) it’s really just a lie I’m telling myself.
TED2013 is happening right now. In honor of this exciting annual event, I want to share my three, all-time favorite Ted Talk videos. They’re guaranteed to inspire and move you. They will put your camera back in your hands and light up that sleepy creative place you’ve been hiding in.
