An Interview With Noah Bradley On Why You Don’t Want To Go To Art School

by

Noah Bradley is a professional artist who works in gaming and other mediums – and he’s got a bone to pick with “traditional” art school educations that he wrote up at https://medium.com/i-m-h-o/138c5efd45e9.  He points out that a lot of art school careers put you in debt, with less earning potential than many other careers, and you can do it a lot easier.  We’ve seen people call out issues with law school, and medical school – Noah is calling it out about art schools.

So you know the drill – when someone rocks the boat in the creative world, I’m going to interview him.

A New Experiment At MuseHack!

by

So we’re trying an experiment at MuseHack.

A lot of times I meet people looking for some geeky jobs. Or maybe they just want an opportunity to hone skills, like blogging or doing art.

I also have worked with a number conventions and everyone talks about a need for talent. Several times I’ve hooked people up who needed art or writing.

So what I’m doing is this – I want to try and connect people via MuseHack.

The idea is this. Every week or so I’ll collect posts from:

A) People who need talent (paid or not)

B) People who want to use their talents and get opportunities.

I’ll post them. Repeat as necessary.

If you’re back in the market doing freelance art, need some people for your con, want a place to blog, I’m going to see about setting up a clearinghouse for people. All I ask is if you get posted, you tell people about it!

Let me know if you’re interested – and contact me if you want in!

Sharknado Sequel In The Works

by

There will be a sequel to Sharknado, that oddball film that burned up social media while kicking science in the groin.

This gets The Asylum and their mockbusters, derivatives, and weird b-movies even more attention.  I swear they’re in serious danger of going legit – and frankly jokes aside films like these provide a place to get experience, build a career, re-establish a career, etc.  Just with sharks in Tornados.

If you can’t wait, here’s some suggestions for a sequel.  I’m partial to “Sharkalance.”
