As 2007 goes fizzle
Dear Friends...and extending to everyone in CreativeThinkers:
The last of 2007 grains of sand are falling down on the bottom glass and the rumor is there of fresh diapers waiting for the little 2008 to come with thundering screams (hope of joy).
I wish all of you a peaceful and promising new year with the blessing of many promises becoming reality in company of family and friends.
With all my heart
Georg Edvard Mateos

2. Materials posted by Members of CTI are their sole responsibility and not that of CTI management or any other member of the CTI site.
3. While recognizing that the work of creative artists is often controversial by its very nature, CTI prohibits and discourages the posting of any overtly obscene and intentionally inflammatory material. These include overt pornography, racist diatribes, religious slander, and any postings promoting discrimination against or the oppression of other human beings.

The CTI Spotlight Artist for July 16-31, 2008, Georg Edvard Mateos, is the celebrated author of four books, including “The Man on the Grassy Knoll” Trilogy, and “Portrait of a Sad Man.” In addition, since December 2005, he has been among the most prolific and popular members writing on the AuthorsDen website with some 462 titles and 7,215 reviews. His pen is as skilled in classical modes of poetry as it is in modern expressions of prose. To learn more about his profoundly rich life and work, please visit Georg at: http://creativethinkersintl.ning.com/profile/GeorgEdvardMateos
CTI Spotlight Artist Marina, July 1-15, 2008
One of the traditions at CTI that has helped us form a meaningful and yet flexible sense of community is the Spotlight Artist. It is not a competition or popularity contest of any kind but simply a way of drawing greater attention to the creative offerings presented so generously by specific members. Marina, our CTI Spotlight Artist for July 1-15, 2008, hails from Germany and is both one of our most generous sharers, with more than 80 photos at CTI, and one of the first to join our growing community. We could tell you more about her art or her recent travels to Egypt but invite you to discover her world for yourself by clicking on her profile at http://creativethinkersintl.ning.com/profiles/profile/show?id=marina .
CTI Spotlight Artist BlackBirdHyperdrive, June 16-30, 2008
One thing that has not changed at Creative Thinkers International is the sheer abundance of creative individuals and types that populate the CTI community. One of those individuals is the poet known as BlackBirdHyperDrive, our CTI Spotlight Artist for June 16-30. A visit to BlackBirdHyperDrive’s profile and a perusal of his blogs reveals a creative thinker whose works often explore such powerful themes as the transformative power of shared spirituality, philosophical introspection, and romantic perspectives in the lives of individuals as well as the larger society. We invite you to learn more about his words and world by visiting his profile at http://creativethinkersintl.ning.com/profile/BlackBirdHyperDrive
CTI Spotlight Artist Marlive Harris, June 1-15, 2008
Our CTI Spotlight Artist for June 1-15, 2008, Marlive Harris, not only maintains a powerful literary presence on Creative Thinkers International but through her Grits.com site exercises such a presence all over the Internet. Among the many qualities that make Ms. Harris unique, valued, and welcome in various communities is her passion for promoting literary culture in general. She has accomplished this with written reviews, book trailers, podcasts, interviews, promotions, and other effective methods that blend a classical literary sensibility with innovative online technology. We are honored to present her as the new CTI Spotlight artist and invite you to learn more about her by visiting her profile at http://creativethinkersintl.ning.com/profile/MarliveHarris .
CTI Spotlight Artist Robert M, May 16-31, 2008
Versatility is a quality we have come to associate with many of our members and Robert M, our new CTI Spotlight Artist, is one of the most versatile among us. The fortunate visitor to Robert’s profile page gains entry into a world of eclectic musical compositions ranging from classical European melodies and Indian ragas to jazz, rock, and blues. Moreover, as various commentators have noted, enough of his precision-crafted poems adorn the site to fill two or three volumes. We could go on quite a bit about his tailored background images, video choices, and the fact that he has established several groups at CTI. But rather than doing that, we invite you to explore for yourself his created wonders at http://creativethinkersintl.ning.com/profile/RobertM
CTI Spotlight Artist Vickie L. McColley, May 1-15, 2008
As everybody knows, diversity is one of our primary strengths at CTI and the members of our community represent cultures from all over the world. They also represent individuals at different stages of their creative careers and development. One of those members is Victoria L. McColley, known to some as the Romantic Poetess, to others as Groovy Charmer, and to some simply as Vickie. It is our pleasure to present her at this time as the CTI Spotlight Artist for May 1-15, 2008. A long-time member at CTI, Ms. McColley has proven particularly adept at utilizing the site’s many features to enhance and present to the world her own unique vision of creative artistry. In addition to being a member of the CTI community, she also has more than 100 titles on AuthorsDen with more than 1,000 reviews of her writings there. The working title of her forthcoming first poetry collection is “Love Love Love: Poetry from the Heart, Soul & Voice of Love.” For more on the Vickie’s work and world, please visit her profile at http://creativethinkersintl.ning.com/profile/RomanticPoetessVickieMcColley
CTI Spotlight Artist Poetry Life & Times April 16-30, 2008
Our friends at Poetry Life and Times have featured a number of CTI’s members in their e-zine and, on top of that, have now been one of the great champions of modern poetry for some ten years. They actually have the archives to prove it! Their current issue not only honors one of poetry’s nobler traditions with its dedication to our very challenged "brothers and sisters in Tibet, Burma and Darfur,” but remains true to its mission by providing a platform for some of the most vibrant contemporary poetic voices on the planet. It is truly our honor at CTI to present Poetry Life and Times as our Spotlight Artist for April 16-30, 2008. The image of the monk featured as their main page profile image is borrowed from their current issue. To learn more about Poetry Life and Times and how you may submit your own work for publication consideration, please visit them at http://creativethinkersintl.ning.com/profile/PoetryLifeandTimes .
CTI Spotlight Artist Luther E. Vann April 1-15, 2008
Often described as a poet who utilizes visual art to write his poems, Luther E. Vann is an acclaimed artist who was fortunate enough to receive some of his first art instructions from recognized masters of the Harlem Renaissance. Like all artists of note, he shaped what he learned into a style of his own that fuses deeply spiritual imagery, metaphysical philosophy, and strong social realism. After a lifetime of dedication to his craft, his work will go on exhibit at the Telfair Museum in Savannah, Georgia, from April 16-August 17, 2008, and his first book, ELEMENTAL, The Power of Illuminated Love, is scheduled for publication in May. We’re honored for the opportunity to present Vann as the CTI Spotlight Artist for April 1-15 and invite you to visit his profile to learn more about him at

Hello Georg! Thank you for joining my groups. Much appreciated. I will start orgainzing my time on the net more strictly so that I get a little bit done in each group I conduct (I have so many now)! instead of doing things in bursts. I will be putting some stuff up as a contribution to the CTI celebrations.

Then I need to finish one sculpture and seven oil paints.
Busy, yes, very. Never mind that in one hundred years all will be forgotten, but maybe what we do will give a push so our art will still going strong after we are gone.
Thank for all good wishes and for welcome me as a friend.
Always here
