Our current featured image is one created by Douglas Balmain.
Douglas has been a fantastic member of the Creative Humans community. His story contributions, whether written, drawn, or both, have added significant depth, inspiration, and beauty to the publication. It has been a joy to witness his creativity.
The featured image accompanies a thought-provoking story called Does The Self Know What The Brain Cannot? Here’s an excerpt:
“During this process of rational critiquing, the feeling and experience of the piece is lost. The self becomes divorced from the act — the work is suddenly made foreign, inanimate, and inadequate.
Perhaps it’s not the work that is inadequate, but rather the conscious/analytical brain’s ability to access the expression of our soulful energies that is lacking. Our works of compulsion and inspiration, the realized and unplanned creation for the sake of creation itself, must possess value beyond their post-completion critique.
How can the rational brain weigh the value that a piece brings to the creator?” ~Douglas Balmain
