The Necessity of Eccentricity

What stimulates your creative juices? Is it music?…a nature walk?…a glass of wine?…or perhaps something onlookers would consider a tad strange? If it's the latter, then you're not alone. Coach and trainer for professional artists, Mark McGuinness, explains the necessity of eccentricity in creative people in his article, "Why Creative People Need to be Eccentric".
