Help!

The latest issue of the Good To Know Project is out now! Johnny and I had our collaborative doodle and submission for the topic of help featured in the zine. We talked about the friends that we've made through our collective 'Kooji Creative,' how it's been a great help to have a support network of this kind and how important it is that we share advice and information with fellow creatives.

Check out the sneek preview on Issuu here or better yet buy a copy here :D

What sort of support do you receive as an artist? What advice would you share with fellow artists about getting help?

Stop Thief!

A little while ago I spotted this post about plagiarism on a really cool illustration site called Pikaland. As any creative knows plagiarism and copyright theft of any kind is really serious and something we all think about and often take great steps to prevent. The blog post really got us thinking and so we ended up writing a very long (eek!) reply about a horrible case of plagiarism we came up against last year. After posting our reply I re-read the post and realised it was going to be published in a really cool zine called the 'Good to Know Project.' What's that I hear our readers cry!? Well, "The Good to Know Project is full of advice + inspiration from artists/illustrators/designers on creativity, business and life."

It's great that something so positive came from something so negative, not only did we get our post published in the zine along with a couple of doodles, we got chatting with the creator of Pikaland, Amy Ng, and were so inspired by her work and creativity that we added her as one of our Kooji buddies in the collective.

It's hard to believe that there are people actually out there willing to steal other's people's hard work and worse yet when you discover it's someone you know. Fortunately one of the great things about the internet and social networking in particular is that the culprit can quickly be spotted and have their shame publicly blasted about on the net.
