Pure Imagination

  • Mood: Joy
  • Reading: The Imagineering Way - The Disney Imagineers
So, I decided to pick up my Imagineering books I purchased in Disney World a few years back. I hadn't read them since I got them, and I can't figure out why. They're by far my favorite books. I always said to myself, "I should re-read those Imagineering books when I get home." But, I never did.

(In case you're sitting there at this point going, "What on earth is Imagineering?" it is the people who make Disney what it is. It's the combination of imagine and engineering, dreaming big, but also making those dreams come true. The Imagineers are all of the artists, engineers, show directors, writers, designers, directors... of all kinds that create everything Disney.)

So, as I was saying, I finally picked them back up to glance through them. Just reading a few of the stories in the book, from the Imagineers themselves, I remembered that anyone can do something creative.

But sometimes it's hard to get started. I'm sure every artist has stared at that black sheet of paper in terror, having no idea what to put on it. I know I do. You just have to take a chance. Go for it! Do whatever you want to do. It doesn't matter if you're a writer, a cartoonist, an engineer, a photographer, it doesn't matter. Getting started is the hardest part. Just take that chance and go for it. Don't worry about failing. Everyone fails. But you never succeed if you don't take those chances.

I suppose I'll stop boring you with all my Imagineering stuff. I think it would be wonderful to be an Imagineer. I'm not sure how to get that job, but I would certainly love to do it. Not just because it's Disney, but because I get to have fun, be creative, let my imagination flow and be free to be as creative as I can be! And get paid to do it.


If you weren't bored by all of that, I highly suggest reading the books. It'll change the way you think about being creative, and life in general, and help your creative ideas flow better than ever.

They call me Mouse. Feel free to do the same. I'm an easy going guy. I love music, especially my acoustic. I really love to draw and wish I never stopped taking art classes because it's a lot of work getting back to how I was but I'm getting there. (I'll have more work up as soon as I can)
