Flags could be required for this creative type? (8,6)
I believe the answer is:
pavement artist
'flags could be required for this creative type?' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'for this creative type?' is the wordplay.
'for' becomes 'pavement' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'this creative type?' becomes 'artist' (I've seen this in another clue).
'pavement'+'artist'='PAVEMENT ARTIST'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for pavement artist that I've seen is " Painter".)
