Nicole J asked Barret Baumgart:

Barret! How do you come up with your ideas?! WOW!

Barret Baumgart I do research, try and stay curious, and not take the world and its facts for granted. Keep an ear and eye out for something new, something people might have overlooked, or something that seems surprising, unbelievable or strange... And then keep researching, keep digging, keep looking for the next unbelievable or counter-intuitive fact. There's always more to the story. Further layers of meaning and history, even when you think you've found it all. Start writing before you know where you're going, what the project is, or what the end result will be.
