Any recommendations for creative thinking? (books/articles)

[AndyW]

I'm an artist but what is very apparent about me as a look over my life, is my sheer lack of creativity. It's funny how one assumes that an artist is 'creative' because they 'create' but absolutely everything I've done (from music I wrote when I was a teenager, to book ideas and art work) is born out of something I call 'the law of obvious'.

Said law is the phenomena (or maybe anti-phenomena) whereby every idea you have, that you think is amazing and will change the world, is only planted in your mind in the first place because it's obvious (and likely you picked it up subconsciously). Then you do a tiny bit of research to find out that it's already been done to death. Anyone relate?

So I was wondering if anyone knows of any resource to help with brainstorming and creativity etc. as it relates to entrepreneurs and ideas for products or businesses?
