About This Project
The Creatrixes of Awesome are people from various fields and walks of life who have created something truly awesome. Whether it is a form of art they practice regularly, or a once-off event, or a little ditty on Youtube - all forms of creation are respected and welcomed.
Each creatrix is given the same set of questions to answer (coupled with some lovely photos, a short profile/bio, and relevant links):
What did/do you create?
Why did/do you decide to pursue this creative mode?
What did/do you do to get your creations made and out there?
When did/do you create? Is this something you do regularly?
What does being a Creatrix of Awesome mean to you?
Share with us some of what you feel is Awesome:
Recommend another Creatrix of Awesome to us:
And here’s the extra-fun part: each interview is accompanied with a step-by-step guide to creating something awesome, from the Creatrixes themselves! It can be directly related to their creation (such as a filmmaker’s guide to making short film) or totally offbeat (a porn star’s favourite recipe for chocolate cake). That way, you can join in on creating your own awesome too!
Creatrixes of Awesome is committed to portraying diversity in all forms, and to prioritise people & voices that are often marginalised in society - across cultures, nationalities, genders, sexual orientations, class barriers, occupations, and so on.
Please let us know if we are severely lacking representation in any one area!
This project was created by Creatrix Tiara on the 20th of March 2011.
