Motivators/Block-busters

Horn.MP

We've all gotten to the point where it feels like our brains have locked-up and the creativity has run dry; so I am wondering what techniques people have developed to get things going again?

Do spontaneous late-night dance-offs lose their effectiveness after 30?

Does the adrenaline high of a looming deadline fall out of favour in the professional world?

Is there anything better than coffee and a cigarette?

Let's hear your opinions.



FULL DISCLOSURE: I've been staring at Illustrator and Rhino for the last week and I'm fairly sure that my corpus callosum has rusted over.

Ride a fixed gear bike down a steep, smooth, grassy hill. Try to hang on as long as possible. When you lose it, tuck and roll.

Climb up onto the roof of your architecture building with a wedge and some golf balls and practice chipping.

Cough syrup and gin.

Talking to retards at Starbucks or strangers at bars.

Watching Dynasty.

Took apart Museumpeace this morning. The glue had been drying for a few years now and there was very little structure to it left. Surprised to find that two screws were used in addition to glue.


Feels like I dismantled a blockage.


The individual pieces are all interesting, so a new sculpture will be in the works. Maybe call it Quondam Museumpeace.
