on creating...

In general, do you find that your ideas come first, and then you figure out the tools to realize them, or do your ideas come out of the capabilities of your tools?

Is one way better than another?

I do everything at the same time. I'm a collector- sometimes I'm collecting ideas that I have yet to collect the ingredients for, sometimes I'm collecting tools whose purpose has yet to be realized.

It's hard to know which I do more of- I have drawers and drawers and shelves of doo-dads and whatnots, and random pieces of paper and books full of ideas.
