nightingales: underpriced, undervalued & over it: attitudes towards art & commissions:

There is a really problematic culture of artists underpricing their commissions online - though I’m sure this practice extends towards the ‘real world’. A fun fact before we start: the internet is actually part of the ‘real world’. If you don’t think that industry artists are also underpaid and…

“Ce qui est irremplaçable dans l’oeuvre d’art - ce qui fait d’elle non seulement une occasion de plaisir mais un organe de l’esprit dont l’analogue se retrouve en toute pensée philosophique ou politique si elle est productive - c’est qu’elle contient mieux que des idées, des matrices d’idées.”

He wrote so many treasured books and short stories… Tschaï, Lyonesse, the Moon Moth… unforgettable taleteller.

The Keep Moving Projects with BlackBerry 10, Featuring Neil Gaiman:

neil-gaiman:

People have been asking me now for a while about when the Calendar of Tales website would go live. And the answer is, today. It’s really beautiful. They did an amazing job. Go and look.

So much wonderful art was made by people for this project.

(You can see a lot of the art at http://keepmoving.blackberry.com/desktop/en/us/ambassador/neil-gaiman.html along with my comments on the winning images.)

Yay! It’s up! \0/

I love the site and the background changing for each month it’s beautiful. *o*
It’s so incredibly moving to see 2 of my drawings be part of this (in May & August) I heard about it several weeks ago but I still can’t believe it.

Of all the characters in the book, Richard Mayhew is the hardest to draw. He’s not very precisely described and has nothing in particular. I suppose he’s quite handsome because the ladies like him. ^^ I made him caught in the shadows of the city and a bit lost, holding the figurine of the London Beast.

George R.R. Martin to Release Another Book That's Not the Next Installment of 'A Song of Ice and Fire' | Pajiba

George R.R. Martin to Release Another Book That's Not the Next Installment of 'A Song of Ice and Fire' | Pajiba:

wilwheaton:

popculturebrain:

Martin will release ‘The Wit and Wisdom of Tyrion Lannister,’ a collection of “clever and naughty quips” from the beloved character, this Christmas, mostly because he hates his fans.

George loves his fans. I know this because I’ve spoken with him at length about that very subject. Also, as Neil Gaiman put it so eloquently, George R.R. Martin is not your bitch.

I get that it’s amusing to fire off some snarky joke about how George hates his fans, but wouldn’t it be more interesting to really look at how this book came together? Do you actually think George sat down, stopped what he was doing, and wrote a book of brand new Tyrion Lannister quotes? Oh, wait, that’s not what he did, and I know this because I read the announcement from Harper Collins: “The hardback title will gather together “clever and naughty quips” from the popular character from A Song of Ice and Fire series.”

Or can we apply Occam’s Razor for a moment and consider:

1) Game of Thrones is wildly popular at the moment,

2) Tyrion Lannister is one of the most popular characters on the show,

3) A bunch of business people at Harper Collins saw an opportunity to have an editor cull existing material, add an introduction or a few other words from George throughout, and laugh all the way to the bank.

I don’t know what George is writing at the moment, and while I hope that it’s more ASoIaF, I also hope he’s enjoying the process, because he’s earned it. He owes us nothing, and the only thing we should ever say to George is Thank You.
