Create with John Fanning podcast
by John FanningMy name is John Fanning, and I believe everyone is creative. I’m grateful to be able to share insights I’ve gleaned about the Walls that lead us away from creativity and the Doors which inspire us towards creativity. Later, I’ll have conversations about creative practice and inspiration with many of the writers, artists and creators I met at the retreat I founded in the south of France, and here in the Portland, Maine area. Listen anywhere you get your podcasts, and please subscribe, rate and review the podcast if you enjoy it, so others can find out about it. CREATE.

34: Benevolence and Creativity
37m · Publishednon nobis solum nati That’s a quote from Cicero’s On Duties, which he seemingly got from Plato. It basically means we’re created for the sake of others, to benefit each other as much as possible, from the Stoic ideal of giving and receiving kindnesses. So, I’m John Fanning and this is the Create with John […]

33: Audience and Representation
35m · PublishedI don’t think that an artist should bother about his audience. His best audience is the person he sees in his shaving mirror every morning. I think that the audience an artist imagines, when he imagines that kind of a thing, is a room filled with people wearing his own mask. That’s a response from […]

32: Community and Creativity
39m · Published“It has nothing to do with me.” “But it must hurt you?” “Why would it? It has nothing to do with me.” That’s a back and forth the writer and academic Umberto Eco had when being interviewed about critics and criticism, on the BBC’s Desert Island Discs. So, I’m John Fanning and this is the […]

31: Voice and Vocation
31m · PublishedEverybody’s hurt. What is important, what corrals you, what bullwhips you, what drives you, torments you, is that you must find some way of using this to connect you with everyone else alive. This is all you have to do it with. You must understand that your pain is trivial except insofar as you can […]

30: Play and Creativity
36m · PublishedWe don’t stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing. So that’s supposed to be a quote from George Bernard Shaw. I don’t know where I came across it first but it has a Wildean way about it that I’ve found hard to get out of my head. I couldn’t […]

29: Spirituality and Creativity
1h 6m · PublishedI think the chanciest thing is to put spirituality in art. Because people don’t understand it. Writers don’t know what to do with it. They’re scared of it, so they ignore it. But if there’s going to be any universal consciousness-raising, you have to deal with it, even though people will ridicule you. That’s a […]

28: Inspiration and Rituals
42m · PublishedWhenever there is inspiration, which translates as “in spirit,” and enthusiasm, which means “in God,” there is a creative empowerment that goes far beyond what a mere person is capable of. That’s a quote I’ve often repeated to people from the German author and teacher Eckhart Tolle’s book A New Earth. I’m John Fanning and […]

27: Emotions, Feelings and Emotional Memory
29m · PublishedThe most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion that stands at the cradle of true art and true science. That’s a quote from Albert Einstein’s book The World As I See It. I’m John Fanning and this is the Create with John Fanning podcast. How’s it goin out […]

26: Acceptance and Change
25m · PublishedWhat worked for you on Tuesday will work on Thursday, a claim that cannot always be made when what you hold in your hand is a paintbrush or a camera or a pen. What was exactly right for your last painting will be completely wrong for this one. Creative people love to claim they know […]
