Even though this artwork is mine, all mine, most people that know my work wouldn't guess that. For one, it's in black and white, and two, there are no cats in bikinis or poodles swilling pinot. Oh well.

But it IS my artwork and the reason it does look different is because this stone lithograph print was done in response to a creative prompt.

I LOVE creative prompts and you should too. They're the limbering up before the big game exercise. They're the writing out 5 drafts of a dear John letter before you actually send the thing. They're the working out the life kinks of your creativity.

And I was so totally thrilled to hear of National Public Radio's ultimate writing prompt which you'll find here.

I entered, shocked at what it evoked - laughing at the final result. I don't expect to win. That wasn't why I entered. I entered because as a writer I wanted to play - to zip, dive, weave - exercise my muscles - yay!

The title of the above art is "Breakfast of Champions". As creative people, we ARE the champions, no?

Ans as far as breakfast?

I vote maple bar.
