RARRRRR!! Express Your Creativity And Smite Your Inner Demons!

My admiration of Zenpencils artist Gavin Aung Than continues to grow with his illustration of Berne Brown’s thoughts on personal creativity. Below are screenshots of the first few panels as an inducement to visit his page rather than passing over my text link to the page. Clicking on the images will take you to his site.

Interestingly, he had originally made a comment dismissing the current trend of coloring books for adults as an outlet for expressing creativity. People took exception to his remark. He subsequently apologized and offered high resolution versions of his art for people to color.

About Joe Patti

I have been writing Butts in the Seats (BitS) on topics of arts and cultural administration since 2004 (yikes!). Given the ever evolving concerns facing the sector, I have yet to exhaust the available subject matter. In addition to BitS, I am a founding contributor to the ArtsHacker (artshacker.com) website where I focus on topics related to boards, law, governance, policy and practice.

I am also an evangelist for the effort to Build Public Will For Arts and Culture being helmed by Arts Midwest and the Metropolitan Group. (http://www.creatingconnection.org/about/)

My most recent role was as Executive Director of the Grand Opera House in Macon, GA.

Among the things I am most proud are having produced an opera in the Hawaiian language and a dance drama about Hawaii's snow goddess Poli'ahu while working as a Theater Manager in Hawaii. Though there are many more highlights than there is space here to list.
