ADRIAN BELEW: SETTING FREE THE BEARS
Adrian Belew has distinct ideas about this business of being an artist, and there’s nothing grandiose about them. On the contrary, this supremely normal guy doesn’t see why the creative process can’t be just as much a part of the daily routine as brushing your teeth.

Adrian Belew has distinct ideas about this business of being an artist, and there’s nothing grandiose about them. On the contrary, this supremely normal guy doesn’t see why the creative process can’t be just as much a part of the daily routine as brushing your teeth. He’s got some pretty formidable role models, too, in that respect. “Picasso, Miro, would just get up every day,” Belew describes, “have their coffee, go to work on their art, stop and have dinner with their wife, and then go back to work. I’ve always admired that, and just decided that that’s what I want—to find what the art is in what I do, and do it every day, right here at home.”
