#FTW Francis Ford Coppola

Happy, Inspired, Avenged?, some of the adjectives I can apply to meself after reading the99percent.com FFC interview.

When I say I'm an artist it's normally when I end up creating stuff (mostly design oriented) for myself, maybe some charity work, something that depends on me and just me how it will come up and look like for others, no client input involved, no recommendation, pure home made sexy fashion personal creation.

When I say I'm a Creative, Graphic Designer, Interactive Manager, Digital Marketing consultant, bla bla bla... it's normally when I have a client, facts and goals, client feedback, input and quality assurance processes, time tables, a team involved with the whole project.

Giving both assertions, then we can say that when I'm an artist I'm not working, I'm just doing what I want, when I want, as I want... for who I want to, and that's particularly always for FREE...

Maybe that's why I'm one of those who thinks MUSIC should be free,  it's art... and whoever says it's work, well.. if you talk about gigs and so, YES those things are work, but the piece of art, that piece of sound/music was just pure inspiration (good or bad one), that one should be free.

So if you think I'm crazy, well... probably you are one of those who think I'm saying it just because I'm not within the market, or even worse, you are one of those that if the allegation comes from a common earthling like myself, it has no validation... but if it comes from a big time famous person, then it could become quite important, so... please, just click THIS LINK... read, find the question :


"How does an aspiring artist bridge the gap between distribution and commerce?"


And read one of the most honest POV's about digital content.
I bet Metallica will not sue Francis this time, he's hell of a bigger dog than them... LOL.
#FTW with Francis, his example is just a starter of what comes, and as he says... FIND A JOB.
