Excessively creative.

Examples

“"I tend to get overcreative when things aren't going well," says [David] Cone in one of his many astute self-analyses. "I've tried all those different grips — some I've never used before — and somewhere in the middle I lose my way. Too much tinkering, too much Young Tom Edison. I'm a victim of my own style."”
“It's called Bell's Diner and the chef is called Chris Wicks. It's in Montpelier in Bristol. He's a very creative chef, but not overcreative.”
“He was lean and wore a Hawaiian shirt with teal sharks eating palm trees, Dickies painter pants, a straw hat with a beer logo, argyle socks with red sneakers, unflinchingly overcreative.”
