It lives! (and the dangers of 'kickstarters')
Thats right folks! I'm actually not dead! I have been very busy with my new role at work, and forgot to update my blog =B'Þ
On to more interesting things. I've heard a lot about kickstarters lately. "WTF?" you may ask? Well wonder ye not!
A fantastic idea in theory, and I'm sure it'll help many people who were having problems getting recognised for their skill get the funding they need. The only thing that worries me is that it may dilute the market, making it harder for punters to see the 'wood for the trees'.
Let's face it, if there are more things to try, then that's got to be a good thing, right? But what if more of the things which are tried are pants? It could be detrimental to creativity as a whole as people will gravitate to the well established brands/artists to avoid being burned. A word of caution!
