The Idea Fountain.

It has been written many, many, many and lots of times before that ‘ideas are like water’. They flow like water in a stream or a little lake. They mould into any shape. Mostly cup shapes, but any shape you can think of, water fits into it.

Ideas are the same, think of a shape. Done that? Good, now fit your idea into that shape. See how easy it is!

The idea fountain takes this concept and turns it into a reality.

You need to build your self an idea fountain. Don’t build an actual fountain, I’m trying to create a metaphor. An actual fountain would be a waste of time. Unless the idea was to build a fountain, but then you’ve already had the idea to build it and you wouldn’t need an idea fountain. I just want to be clear.

To build your self an idea fountain all you need to do is close your eyes and imagine a fountain. The water is spurting up all over the place. Now, imagine the water becoming your idea’s they are spraying everywhere. Reach out with a cup and catch some of the water/ideas. Look at the cup, look at your ideas. You see how easy it is?! And you thought I was a crazy!

It was Anthony Berkley who once said
Ideas are nothing more than dreams realised through the hand of the artist. Taking a view or an opinion and creating from it something so new and wonderful it defies love. It’s a wonder that the possibility of being is only down to a moment of electricity in the brain.
I disagree with this 100%.

Thank you for reading. I will of course be posting my own work on this page soon. So come back for some imagery of words and pictures from the soon to be world wide web famous Sebastian Topp!!
