Artblocks a blessing or a curse?
I had seen in many years, people getting worried of art blocks, many giving solutions how to over come them, hearing music, trying something else in technique, changing subject. Trying yoga, drinking red bulls, beers in my case. And many many stuff.
But those get rid of art blocks forever gone? You cant bet it not.
All people have artblocks, the talented people are the only ones to say that never ever ever happen to them. They dont know what an artblock is. They never had one in their all life career. I think thats a lie, we all had artblocks, but you got to get rid of them quickly, or you cant be a professional.

Always someone that ruins it for the rest of us.
3D printing is a fabulous technological advance, and anyone with a creative mind will be thrilled at the possibilities that could be just around the corner as a result of its development….

Yes, we're back on the gun-debate-thing. And this time the pro-gun crowd are pissing me off because they've set in motion a chain of events that will stifle the potentially fabulous ability to transfer what you create on your computer into the real world.
The man behind it harps on about liberty being his motivation for doing it.

Fan Art Law

t seems there’s nothing quite as dear to the hearts of many of our deviants as their production of fan art, and at the same time, there is nothing so knotted with legal and ethical headaches. Imitation may be the sincerest form of flattery, but in the form of fan art it has also become one of the most frustratingly complicated. At some point, the sheer volume of fan art around a single property may become so large that the issue rises to another level of scrutiny by the creators of the original work.
With this dynamic in mind, we thought the following panel that Josh Wattles, our Ad

Finding Your Characters and Getting to Know Them
There never was a good biography of a good novelist. There couldnt be. Hes too many people if hes any good. F. Scott Fitzgerald (quoted in Rogers 1970)

Hello!
This is a guide to character development. By no means is it the only way to create characters. There is, without a doubt, great capacity for imagination in the human species. I want to begin with three humble notes:
1. Imagination is not limited to humans. There is evidence for fantasy play in various
You may imagine my surprise when my mother called the other day and told me that 'some guy from the internet called (her) and wanted to know when the artwork I owed them would be done'.
I don't know who, if any of you, did this. I am going to assume it was a wrong number and a big coincidence.
It will not happen again. Period.

Remember this: The Nazis started by burning books, ACTA/PIPA/SOPA started by burning websites. Megaupload was the first, it will not be the last. When the masses no logner have information, they will be easy prey for the politicians to mould and shape to their will.
Wikipedia has so much copyrighted but not authorized material that its, by my estimate, 15 million web pages will become victims of ACTA in short order if laws supporting the ACTA treaty, signed secretly on October 1, 2011, a
