Life.in.Lists: Crazy About Creative People

Author: shaunna | Filed under: Life.in.Lists

CREATIVE PEOPLE.

I am a big fan of…

* Jim Henson.  love EVERYTHING the man did, he was a genius.

* Monty Python.  you see their fingerprints everywhere, and you probably never knew it!

* scrapbookers and cardmakers.  i could get more specific but i’d hate to leave anyone out!  i have a lot of favorites ;)

* Hunter S. Thompson.  he was a drug-crazed weirdo but he has definitely said some pretty profound things and had a hell of a life.  i respect him for who he dared to be and the experiences he shared in his writing.

* Shel Silverstein.  no one has a bigger place in my heart – i’ve loved him since i was in kindergarten, and own almost every single one of his books – including his few “adult” themed pieces  :o

* Hayao Miyazaki.  love ALL his films.  even Princess Mononoke and Nausicaa: Valley of the Wind, which i do not like so much.  his stories and animation are absolutely beautiful, i love all the imagery he uses and the realism he brings to simple anime characters.

* J. R. R. Tolkien.  i mean, really.  this guy… lived almost his ENTIRE life making up an ENTIRE other universe in his head – languages, geography, creatures, history.  his books are amazing, truly one of the best series ever written in my humble opinion :)

* music in general.  this could be a long list as well so i will just leave it at that.  music definitely piques my creative side!

* Johnny Depp.  my favorite actor of all time, ever.  probably one of the single most creative actors as well – he definitely knows his roles!
