Meditation and Creativity

I actually already posted this and for some reason it disappeared but basically I was asking if anyone has either personal experience they can share or reference material they can direct me to regarding the correlation between meditation and creativity. I'm both a graphic designer and singer-songwriter so I rely on my creativity pretty much around the clock and personally question whether or not meditation is a benefit or a hindrance to the creative process. Reflecting on the past few months; in which my meditation practice has been very strong; I feel the quality of my work has declined in comparison to what I had produced prior when I was devoting less attention to my practice.

Any input is appreciated!
Thanks!
