How to be creative…

Thursday, December 21st, 2006

…according to some guy in England (Hugh MacLeod) at least. And while I don’t agree with him 100% on every item, I mostly do, and when I don’t he still has a lot of very interesting thoughts. Some of my favorites have to do with not hiding behind tools and doing it for yourself. # 11 is pretty darn perfect, too. And #21. And #22. And…well, you get the idea.

Lots of it sounds familiar to my clients, too.

Crappy holiday gift

Thursday, December 21st, 2006

Just in time for the holidays, this bit of news: a European website may have sold YOUR images, for too little money and without paying you, the creator, anything. The fabulous Dabitch of Adland tells the story.

Fair? Of course not. It’s not even legal, but it’s not stopping them from doing it. If you’re a pro (especially) and find your images being sold by these thieves, get your lawyers on it, please.
