I Met the Walrus: 1969 Meets 2008


The film has been around for a while. Won its fair share of awards. But worth adding to the things TCLP admires because it's such a perfect combination of words, pictures, art, animation, film making and technology. Proof that the whole can be greater than the sum of its parts with a little imagination. Based on an interview with John Lennon by Jerry Levitan when he was 14. He kept the tape and 38 years later made it into this film. Directed by Josh Raskin. Pen sketches by James Braithwaite. Digital illustration by Alex Kurina.

Five Great Quotes: Can You Attribute Them?


According to the eminently quotable Benjamin Franklin, three things tell a man: his eyes, his friends and his favorite quotes. Here are a few of ours, all relating to creativity and originality. Can you match them with their rightful creator?

“Every act of creation is first an act of destruction.”

“Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.”

“Perfection is finally attained not when there is no longer anything to add but when there is no longer anything to take away.”

They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself.

Why join the navy if you can be a pirate?
