I would like you all to consider participating in this online festival. It is a great way to gain exposure and new skills from the tutorials/other artist’s work examples.

Someone also showed me this blog a while ago, it basically accuses the advertising industry shamelessly exploiting creativity and copying original ideas without paying any due credit to the original artists/filmmakers/animators etc…
Some examples are much more valid than others, so have a scroll down and read some older entries, its interesting to compare and judge it for yourself, and consider what is homage and where the fine line between inspiration and plagiarism lies.
Strong language warning though as you might guess from reading the title of the site.. the author is pretty relentless in their accusations and quite graphic… not for the easily offended
