Artistic, inventive (8)
I believe the answer is:
creative
This clue is a double definition.
'artistic' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'inventive' is the second definition.
(similar in meaning)
(Other definitions for creative that I've seen before include "Using the imagination" , "Artistic, able to make new things" , "Artistically inventive" , "Innovative in reactive way" , "Showing imagination" .)
