Gaping Void


If you're a frustrated artist (lets face it most of us are), you will love Hugh Macleod's site. Gaping Void - "Cartoons drawn on the back of business cards.
At last somebody understands us!!!

Here's an extract So you want to be more creative, in art, in business, whatever. Here are some tips that have worked for me over the years:

1. Ignore everybody.

2. The idea doesn't have to be big. It just has to change the world.

3. Put the hours in.

4. If your biz plan depends on you suddenly being "discovered" by some big shot, your plan will probably fail.

5. You are responsible for your own experience.

6. Everyone is born creative; everyone is given a box of crayons in kindergarten.

7. Keep your day job.

8. Companies that squelch creativity can no longer compete with companies that champion creativity.

9. Everybody has their own private Mount Everest they were put on this earth to climb.

10. The more talented somebody is, the less they need the props.

11. Don't try to stand out from the crowd; avoid crowds altogether.

12. If you accept the pain, it cannot hurt you.

13. Never compare your inside with somebody else's outside.

14. Dying young is overrated.

15. The most important thing a creative person can learn professionally is where to draw the red line that separates what you are willing to do, and what you are not.

16. The world is changing.

17. Merit can be bought. Passion can't.

18. Avoid the Watercooler Gang.

19. Sing in your own voice.

20. The choice of media is irrelevant.

21. Selling out is harder than it looks.

22. Nobody cares. Do it for yourself.

23. Worrying about "Commercial vs. Artistic" is a complete waste of time.

24. Don't worry about finding inspiration. It comes eventually.

25. You have to find your own schtick.

26. Write from the heart.

27. The best way to get approval is not to need it.

28. Power is never given. Power is taken.

29. Whatever choice you make, The Devil gets his due eventually.

30. The hardest part of being creative is getting used to it.

31. Remain frugal.

32. Allow your work to age with you.

33. Being Poor Sucks.

34. Beware of turning hobbies into jobs.

35. Savor obscurity while it lasts.

Thoughtvertising


Flloyd has done it again! Floyd Hayes of Cunning the media genius has gone one better than his voicevertising campaign.
This time he sold his powers of telepathy to the highest bidder on Ebay!

Flloyd why didn't you tell me about this? - or maybe you did!

I feel the need to go out and buy things! I need a coffee... Who bent the spoon?

Carlsberg


Just when we thought Saatchi & Saatchi had exhausted the Carlsberg campaign, they redeem it
with this little cracker of a viral.

Inspired by the Youtube Mentos/Pepsi viral.

Carlsberg don't do 'blogs', but if they did...

Carlsberg guerrilla money campaign by Saatchi & Saatchi
