Charlie Mingus on Creativity

"Making the simple complicated is commonplace; making the complicated simple, awesomely simple, is creativity."
-Charlie Mingus

PS: My 11-year old daughter, Mimi, sent me this picture today and told me to post it on my blog because it reminded her of my book about a cool caveman who was the first person to get the idea for the wheel.
