Copyright and Intellectual Property

ART/VIDEOS – Copyright and Intellectual Property

In the new world of the internet, copyright has become something important to know about. Many of us in the U.S. don’t know exactly what we create is copyrighted and what isn’t.

In this video I talk about copyright. I talk about putting your work online.

What is protected, what isn’t. What you can do to protect it.  What it takes to do so, and if it’s safe to put your work online.

Originality Avoiding What Other’s Are Already Doing

ART/VIDEOS – Originality Avoiding What Other’s Are Already Doing

Being original is something many people struggle with.  You may be a person who seems to create things that you’ve noticed have already been done.  Perhaps you create things best when you get ideas from other stories or movies you’ve seen or read.

Maybe you abandon these ideas because you think that they’re not original.  After all, if it’s been done it must mean you aren’t original enough.

I see it a different way.  I don’t think it really matters where you got your idea.  I don’t think it matters if there’s something similar out there.

In this video I explain why:

Books on Creating Environments Part 1: Picture This by Molly Bang

ART/VIDEOS – Books on Creating Environments Part 1: Picture This by Molly Bang

I’m often asked how to start designing and creating environments.  Well, besides looking at a lot of reference of the type of environment you want to create, you have to know a bit about picture making.

To this end, I decided I’d start sharing some books that have a lot to do with approaching composition and design so that your environments can look as good as they possibly could.  The first book of three that I’m sharing here is Picture This by Molly Bang.

Why is this book worth owning?  Watch the video below:

Draw To Win Book Review

October 5, 2017 in ART, VIDEOS

ART/VIDEOS – Draw To Win Book Review

The benefits of drawing.  What are they.  Besides just being a fun hobby that helps you relax and express yourself.  Besides the helping with depression an other psychological problems.  What else does it help you with?

What if you don’t want to have it as a hobby?  What if you don’t suffer from an illness?   Is there any practical reason to learn drawing besides drawing pretty pictures?

This book is awesome. It answer these very questions.  Check out my review to find out why this very short easy to read book is worth checking out:
