Well, That’s Depressing
A friend sent me over to 99Designs to check it out, and I had to have a glass of whiskey to drown the deepening sense of despair that overtook me. 99Designs is the digital equivalent of standing outside a Home Depot waving at pick up trucks as they pull into the lot, looking for a sheet-rock gig. It is digital day labor.
R&M + SXSW = WOOT
I’m super jazzed to announce that I just got word that I’ll be co-hosting a panel at South by Southwest this year, with Tim Lillis, from Make Magazine. Indirect Collaboration: Collective Creativity on the Web will be a panel discussing the potential of creative people and their audience coming together to create work that is maybe stronger, or at least more interesting, than either creator-directed or audience-directed work alone. I owe everyone a lot of thanks for your votes and support! See you in Austin!

Go Vote for Robots and Monsters at SXSW 2010!
Hey Folks! Just a q
uick hit: please go vote for us at the South by Southwest Panel Picker! My esteemed colleague Tim Lillis ( of Make and Craft magazine) and myself are proposing to present a panel about Collective Creativity. From the brief:
“This discussion will examine the role of crowd-sourced input on the creative process. We will examine art, comics, design, photography and commerce, and the role that the audience plays in directing their creation. We will make a distinction between passive decision-making (i.e. Threadless) and participatory conception (i.e. 700 Hobos Project.) ”
Plus, if we get to go, I’ll try and host a separate Robots and Monsters meetup, which will be rad. It should be fun! Thanks for your vote!
