I wouldn't say we were normal'creatives' is a better all encompassing word. People who want to make something not just watch tv.
Anonymity can be freeing, you don't worry about drawing cocks on things for a laugh because no one knows you well enough to judge you. It can lead to freer exploration of ideas.
I don't think anyone tries to create a meme, they start as one funny picture like any other but it has something that the crowd maintain.
I think that woman has a different idea to a meme than we do, I can't imagine being driven by the Quo anywhere.
Because cats are better than us
Traditional media is the same as digital, people use your stuff and generally don't give just reward, using you up and spitting you out - unless you're lucky and went to school with the boss or his mate.
Lots of people have reposted my work as theirs and had far more success than I have, hell riverghost has a story about someone pretending to be me to get a shag in a pub once! crazy world that is far more exciting than my own.
If it's not damaging to the original artwork and isn't being used for financial gain then yes. It's flattery and proof of a good source. If the artist is a getting rich or successful off someone elses effort then they should be tarred and feathered.
I think the sea of crap is very true, and the more accessible 2d and 3d creative software is the more half arsed stuff we'll see. But everyone has to start somewhere and its the way of the world. At least with digital stuff you can just press delete.
Tin foil hats are useless against chemtrails and the scientologist hand massage

This is Ace. I may have to nick it for an award at work...We go on about the 'He's Spartacus' award for spineless blame shifting - this is the ideal e-mail attachment.
Can I nick it? Can I ? Can I? Oh go on pleeease?
