Today's Webtip: La Détente
Anyone who has worked in advertising knows that it is an industry filled with creative individuals who will, someday, anytime soon, eventually break out and live their life as the artists they were meant to be. Now, I know that sounds snarky but it really isn't.
I'm writing this as someone who did the art academy thing and ended up working in advertising. And still hasn't found his way back to art.
But I did meet a lot of talented individuals who were paying their bills. I also met a few who used it as a stepping stone to something they felt to be more meaningful. Not an easy thing to do considering the work schedules anyone in the production side of advertising faces.
One amazing example of that tired but frequently true cliché would probably be Pierre Ducos and Bertrand Bey. They managed to create an award winning animated short while doing the ad thing as their day job.
It's an absolutely amazing piece.
