Inspiration & Work Ethic Ride Next to One Another – Jack White on Creativity

“Inspiration and creativity, they ride right next to one another…Not everyday are you going to wake up, the clouds are gonna part and the rays are gonna come down…sometimes you gotta just get in there and force yourself to work and maybe something good will come out of it.”

-Jack White on creativity. From a great documentary called Under Great White Northern Lights.

My take? You must take a picture every day. Maybe something good will come out of it.

    “Photography is 10 % inspiration and 90 % moving furniture.” Or something like that.

    Like Edison said, genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration. You just gotta work at it. Period.

The show's logo is displayed on the left side, with "THE CHASE JARVIS LIVE" in bold black text inside yellow rectangles, stacked vertically. The right side of the image features a robotic figure, resembling a humanoid robot, meticulously working on a canvas. The robot is painting or drawing a grayscale portrait of a human-like figure. The robot's detailed mechanical components are visible, and the scene evokes themes of artificial intelligence, creativity, and technology. The background is minimal, allowing focus on the robot and its artwork. The composition suggests an exploration of AI's role in creative processes.Is AI the End of Creativity or Just the Beginning?
