This was sometime during Halloween last year, a bunch of us decided to change our avatars in Hangouts for fun, I completely forgot this happened, but I think Neb might have saved it. Thanks for that.
I was experimenting on an early ipad and nothing was available except basic colors. Transported it later into Photoshop for details. The squares aren't all even, irrelevant, but figured I'd mention.
Was just thinking, when someone says think outside the box....why does it have to be a box? Why can't it be anything you want? Like a closet? Or a door? Hehe
Why did we decide creativity requires escaping from something? Why do so many of our metaphors for creativity imply that ordinary thinking is a restriction?
It's because it hinges on the idea that everyone wants to be ordinary (aka "normal") and that being anything other should be punishable socially. It stems from imperial modes of thinking that harm people not white-cis-straight-abled-perisex-etc because the idea of normal is centred on "some guy"-isms
