Toe Jam & the Creative Connection
What does a creative David Byrne video, a controversial political art cover, descriptions of bad real estate, a German Pulse exhibit, Tom Wolfe, a young architect’s program, Garfield and NPR’s Ira Glass’ commentary have in common? Rosecrans Baldwin posts in the Digital Ramble of the NYTimes’ The Moment blog, that they are all examples of the creative process at work. This post had me in stitches because it clearly left it to the reader to determine what was in good taste — without saying a judging word about if these examples were or not. Without disclosing if I thought they were “good” or “bad,” I’ll just say that I thought they were all humorous and I resonated with the author’s tongue-in-cheek descriptions about most of them. I really enjoy David Byrne’s music and was unfamiliar with this video. It’s a catchy tune he makes with Fatboy Slim and Dizzee Rascal. Thanks to this blog post, I’m so glad I can post it too. It’s a funny video but will also make you think, “Wow, that was pretty clever!”…Did you catch the mention of New Orleans too?

Once my children were in school, I began painting decorative, faux finishes and murals through my second business, Casart, now over 30 years old. My third business, Casart Coverings, is a springboard from my second.
