Considering your first law, you're in good company. Creative gurus like Edward de Bono have argued that not only does true creativity happen within constraints, but the brain -need- constraints to be creative. That is why to "write a song" often is more difficult than to "write a song with the words 'sun' and 'moon' in the title". Thanks for the mention! You've got a lot of interesting posts. Calvin,

Commercial Art. Oxymoron! :) DT - yes, artists have constraints too, because they cannot produce art that no one wants. It's a cruel world. Vivienne - ha ha! Commercial Art. Oxymoron! :)

There is no such thing as total freedom. Even artists have to deal with the constraints of the medium like clay or paint on canvas. Please keep intouch.
