			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I saw <em>Jeremy Saunders</em> while he was talking about the design concept behind the <em><strong>&#8220;Burning Man&#8221;</strong></em> movie poster at the <em>Adobe Design for Impact Live Virtual Event</em> last <strong>October 2011</strong>. The image below is a composite no surprise there, but the cool thing about it was the main image used in this poster (which is the guy standing over a puddle) was just one of the images taken behind the scenes, the official photographer was able to catch the lead actor while on a break. And this image ended up being used for the final key art for the movie. I became an instant fan right there and then.</p>
<p>Jeremy Saunders has 9 years worth of <em>Key Art</em> experience under his belt and I would like to take this opportunity to share some of them with all of you. But first what is <strong>&#8220;Key Art&#8221;</strong>?</p>
<h2 class="title">A little bit of history</h2>
<p><strong>Movie posters</strong> have been and still is a big part of the industry since the earliest public exhibitions of films. What began as placards listing the programme of (short) films to be shown inside the hall or movie theater in the early 1900s evolved to featuring illustrations of scenes from each individual film or an array of overlaid images from several scenes. Other movie posters have used artistic interpretations of a scene or even the theme of the film, represented in a wide variety of artistic styles.</p>
<p><strong>What is KEY ART?</strong></p>
<p>Key art is a film poster used to advertise a film. It will be what the viewer remembers about the film long after the film&#8217;s original release date. There may also be several versions for one film, with variations in regards to size, content and country of production of the poster. It usually contains an image, or multiple images, composed to tell the story of the film. The titles are often designed to go with the artwork and often the names of the main actors are designed, as well. It might also include a tag line, billing block and contractual logos.</p>
<p>Key art can also be used to advertise a television show. Much of network advertising&#8217;s main artwork is known as key art and is used for advertising on web sites, billboards, magazines, city buses, bus shelters and banners. <a href="http://www.joseph-rey.com/content.asp?WebsiteID=15374&#038;PageID=130531&#038;FFS=1&#038;pageName=What+is+KEY+ART%3F" title="What is KEY ART"><strong><em>(Source &#8211; joseph-rey.com)</em></strong></a></p>

<h2 class="title">Burning Man</h2>
<p><a href="http://jeremysaunders.com/" title="The Burning Man - Poster"><img src="http://prodigalconcepts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/burning-man-poster-716x1024.jpg" alt="" title="burning-man-poster" width="716" height="1024" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-4875" /></a></p>
<p>BURNING MAN is the reckless, sexy, funny, moving and ultimately life-affirming story of Tom, a British chef in a Bondi restaurant, who seems to have decided there are no longer any rules he needs to obey. Whatever Tom is up to, his actions seem to be tolerated by those around him.</p>
<p>As Tom descends into darkness, fragments of a different story begin to emerge. All the women in his world are trying in their own, very different ways to help put him back together.</p>
<p><strong>Starring:</strong> Matthew Goode, Bojana Novakovic, Essie Davis, Kerry Fox, Rachel Griffiths <a href="https://www.facebook.com/BurningManFilmAU?sk=info" title="Burning Man info"><strong><em>(Source)</em></strong></a></p>

<p>Che is a two-part 2008 biopic about Ernesto &#8216;Che&#8217; Guevara directed by Steven Soderbergh and starring Benicio del Toro. Rather than follow a standard chronological order, the films offer an oblique series of interspersed moments along the overall timeline. Part One is entitled The Argentine and focuses on the Cuban revolution from the landing of Fidel Castro, Guevara, and other revolutionaries on Cuba to their successful toppling of the dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista two years later. Part Two is entitled Guerrilla and focuses on Guevara&#8217;s attempt to bring revolution to Bolivia and his demise. Both parts are shot in a cinéma vérité style, but each has different approaches to linear narrative, camerawork, and the visual look. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Che_(film)" title="Che (Film)"><strong><em>(Source)</em></strong></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today we have the pleasure of featuring the works of Jirka Väätäinen he calls <em>&#8220;Envisioning Disney Characters in &#8220;Real Life&#8221;</em> which he did sporadically throughout 2011 beginning with <em>&#8220;Ursula the Sea Witch&#8221;</em>. Jirka is a Finnish graphic design student based in Bournemouth, UK. He is passionate about all kinds of visuals. Graphic Design, Photography, Fashion, Digital Art and Illustration.</p>
<p>He was cool enough to sit down with Prodigal Concepts over digital coffee and it&#8217;s a treat I&#8217;m sharing with all of you a short Q&#038;A with Jirka Väätäinen. </p>
<h2 class="title"><span class="question">Q:</span> Can you give us a brief bio of how you got into design?</h2>
<p>Ever since I was a little kid, I have always done a lot of arts related stuff. Being creative and designing is what I am most passionate about, so it was a natural choice for me to get a higher education degree in design and turn my interests into a career.</p>
<h2 class="title"><span class="question">Q:</span> And who were your inspirations if you have any? People you look up to for inspiration?</h2>
<p>There are so many talented people, and so much inspiring stuff out there that I don&#8217;t think I can just name a few people! Different people have inspired me at different times.</p>
<h2 class="title">Snow White &#8211; Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs</h2>
<p><a href="http://jirkavinse.wordpress.com/2011/11/04/snow-white/"><img src="http://prodigalconcepts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Snow-White.jpg" alt="" title="Snow White - Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" width="566" height="755" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4795" /></a></p>
<h2 class="title"><span class="question">Q:</span>  Aside from your creative imagination where do you go to or what do use to stimulate creativity?</h2>
<p>I draw inspiration from all areas of design and visual culture, whether it is movies, fashion, photography, graphic design or so on. So give me anything visual really, and I am good to go!</p>
<h2 class="title">Princess Aurora &#8211; The Sleeping Beauty</h2>
<p><a href="http://jirkavinse.wordpress.com/2011/10/12/aurora/"><img src="http://prodigalconcepts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Princess-Aurora.jpg" alt="" title="Princess Aurora - The Sleeping Beauty" width="600" height="757" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4793" /></a></p>
<h2 class="title">Cinderella</h2>
<p><a href="http://jirkavinse.wordpress.com/2011/11/11/cinderella/"><img src="http://prodigalconcepts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Cinderella.jpg" alt="" title="Cinderella" width="494" height="659" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4786" /></a></p>
<h2 class="title">Ariel &#8211; The Little Mermaid</h2>
<p><a href="http://jirkavinse.wordpress.com/2011/04/02/keeping-the-disney-magic-alive/"><img src="http://prodigalconcepts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Little-Mermaid.jpg" alt="" title="Ariel - The Little Mermaid" width="600" height="413" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4789" /></a></p>
<h2 class="title"><span class="question">Q:</span> What was your creative design process while working on the Disney characters?</h2>
<p>The design process has been very casual, since the project was self-initiated and it was just something I explored for fun. Being familiar with all the characters and having a clear idea on what I was looking to portray, the process has simply involved finding appropriate inspiration from real life people and photos, and then just working towards achieving my vision in photoshop!</p>
<h2 class="title">Ursula the Sea Witch &#8211; The Little Mermaid</h2>
<p><a href="http://jirkavinse.wordpress.com/2011/04/01/ursula/"><img src="http://prodigalconcepts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Ursula.jpg" alt="" title="Ursula the Sea Witch - The Little Mermaid" width="561" height="421" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4784" /></a></p>
<h2 class="title">Belle &#8211; Beauty and the Beast</h2>
<p><a href="http://jirkavinse.wordpress.com/2011/04/27/belle/"><img src="http://prodigalconcepts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Belle.jpg" alt="" title="Belle - Beauty and the Beast" width="600" height="413" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4785" /></a></p>
<h2 class="title">Megara (Meg) &#8211; Hercules</h2>
<p><a href="http://jirkavinse.wordpress.com/2011/09/06/megara/"><img src="http://prodigalconcepts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Meg.jpg" alt="" title="Meg - Hercules" width="454" height="599" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4790" /></a></p>
<h2 class="title"><span class="question">Q:</span>  Can you share with us (*aspiring creatives) some words of wisdom on how we could harness our creativity and standout from the multitudes of creatives out there? </h2>
<p>I would just suggest everyone to have fun and find out what the things are that you genuinely enjoy doing &#8211; since after all, standing out will require you to do your own thing!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was never an &#8220;Apple&#8221; fan, frankly they&#8217;re too expensive for me. Owning one of their products is a status symbol where I&#8217;m from. There was a time that I felt alienated by it being a PC guy myself. But we can&#8217;t just ignore the genius behind it all, Steve Jobs was a visionary on a class all his own. He is a digital innovator that shaped the way we communicate, be entertained and share ideas today and probably for a very long time. Its his lasting legacy. He made us &#8220;Think Different&#8221;! From the iMac, to iPod, to iPhone and iPad, and of course &#8220;Pixar&#8221;.</p>
<p>So even though I&#8217;m not a huge fan, I am an admirer of greatness and I recognize greatness when I see one and Steve Jobs is one of the great minds of our generation have produced. He will be terribly missed. So in my humble way I would like to say goodbye to him by sharing with all of you a round up of some art work by fans and how they see the genius, the visionary, the innovator, the inspirational digital icon that is Steve Jobs. </p>
<blockquote><p>“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most importantly, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” &#8211; Steve Jobs</p></blockquote>

<p>Captain America <em>&#8220;The First Avenger&#8221;</em>, is the latest Marvel live action incarnation. This will feature Chris Evans as Steve Rogers <em>&#8220;Captain America&#8221;</em>, and Hugo Weaving as the <em>&#8220;Red Skull&#8221;</em>. </p>
<p><strong>Captain America</strong> first appeared in March 1941, created by <em>Joe Simon</em> and <em>Jack Kirby</em>. <strong>Steve Rogers</strong>, was a sickly military recruit enhanced to the peak of human perfection by an experimental serum to aid the United States war effort against the &#8220;Axis&#8221; powers in World War II. Wearing an American Flag themed costume and wielding a disc shaped shield made of an experimental alloy called <em>&#8220;Vibranium&#8221;</em>, which was originally intended to be made into tanks. The vibranium was created by accident and never duplicated, attempts to reverse engineer it resulted in the creation of <em>&#8220;Adamantium&#8221;</em>. Which was later bonded with Wolverine&#8217;s skeleton and bone claws.</p>
<p>The movie &#8220;Captain America &#8211; The First Avenger&#8221; will be part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and is scheduled for release on July 22, 2011 in 3D. I hope you all enjoy and find inspiration with this roundup. After all &#8220;Cap&#8217;n&#8221; is known for being relentless, surrender is not a part of his vocabulary, a good trait to have for start-up&#8217;s in the web design arena.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While I slowly simmer in procrastination to write a new tutorial I&#8217;ve decided to make another graphic illustration roundup, this time from the DC universe and another summer blockbuster for 2011 <em>(Please don&#8217;t let it be a disappointment)</em>. &#8220;The Green Lantern&#8221; is scheduled to be released on June 17, 2011 in 3D.</p>
<blockquote><p>In a universe as vast as it is mysterious, a small but powerful force has existed for centuries. Protectors of peace and justice, they are called the Green Lantern Corps. A brotherhood of warriors sworn to keep intergalactic order, each Green Lantern wears a ring that grants him superpowers. But when a new enemy called Parallax threatens to destroy the balance of power in the Universe, their fate and the fate of Earth lie in the hands of their newest recruit, the first human ever selected: Hal Jordan. &#8211; wikipedia</p></blockquote>
<p>Ryan Reynolds stars as Hal Jordan the first human &#8220;Green Lantern&#8221; and &#8220;Thaal Sinestro&#8221; will be played by Mark Strong <em>(Sherlock Holmes)</em> at the directors chair sits Martin Campbell <em>(Casino Royale)</em>.</p>
<blockquote><p>In brightest day, in blackest night,<br />
No evil shall escape my sight<br />
Let those who worship evil&#8217;s might,<br />
Beware my power&#8230; Green Lantern&#8217;s light! &#8211; Green Lantern Oath</p></blockquote>
<p>All comic-togists know there&#8217;s been quite a few human Green Lanterns in the DC Universe timeline but the most famous of them all aside from he&#8217;s really my favorite is Hal Jordan. Dude, it&#8217;s like asking who&#8217;s the best James Bond, Sean Connery or the other guys. I tried my best to make this roundup as Hal Jordan-ish as possible, but there&#8217;s just too many kick-ass graphics out there that I can&#8217;t help myself but include them here. Not to mention that the maestro Alex Ross is much into the Golden Age of the DC Universe. So it doesn&#8217;t matter if it&#8217;s Hal Jordan or Alan Scott, even Guy Gardner or John Stewart at the most you may find some Kyle Rayner in the mix but look past into the character background and you will still have the &#8220;Green Lantern&#8221;.</p>
<h2 class="title">Alex Ross</h2>
<p>For me Alex Ross can make any comic book super hero come alive with depth. His style of painting, his attention to detail and the way his characters are always staring off into some far away place is uncanny.</p>

With baby photography one name stands out for me among the crowd and that would be no other than <a href="http://www.annegeddes.com/">Anne Geddes</a>, she's well renowned for her baby portraits usually dressed up in fantasy styled outfits and garden settings. I was introduced to her work a while back (some time in the late 90's) when I received copies of them printed as postcards and greeting cards, I fell in love with her concepts. Anne has an eye that can see babies from a very surreal perspective and presents them mostly during their earliest days of innocence, when one couldn't help but be awed as the babies look serene and magical. <a class="more-link" href="http://prodigalconcepts.com/fancy-baby-photography-anne-geddes/">continue reading</a>

And with all the excitement surrounding the preparations we did for I&ntilde;igo&#8217;s arrival my regular posting had to suffer and be put aside. But as we patiently wait for D-day I figure this is also a good opportunity for me to write about, babies what else?</p>
<p>With baby photography one name stands out for me among the crowd and that would be no other than <a href="http://www.annegeddes.com/">Anne Geddes</a>, she&#8217;s well renowned for her baby portraits usually dressed up in fantasy styled outfits and garden settings. I was introduced to her work a while back (some time in the late 90&#8242;s) when I received copies of them printed as postcards and greeting cards, I fell in love with her concepts. Anne has an eye that can see babies from a very surreal perspective and presents them mostly during their earliest days of innocence, when one couldn&#8217;t help but be awed as the babies look serene and magical.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve decided for this post to celebrate the birth of I&ntilde;igo and make a compilation of creatively portrayed babies in photography. Babies in different poses and scenes shot by Anne herself as well as some images by other photographers I stumbled upon along the way. I hope you all enjoy and get enough dose of inspiration to grab that camera and immortalize the little tykes at their age of innocence.</p>
<h2 class="title">Anne Geddes and her <em>Surreal Babies</em></h2>
<p><a href="http://www.annegeddes.com/">Anne Geddes</a> style of children&#8217;s portraiture broke some fresh ground in the early 90&#8242;s. She has a few published work and some awards in photography excellence to back her years of experience in the industry she has grown to love. And if being interviewed by Oprah doesn&#8217;t count as an achievement, then let her work speak for her talent.</p>

<h2 class="title">Carrie Sandoval and her <em>Babies in B&#038;W</em></h2>
<p><a href="http://www.capturedbycarrie.com/">Carrie Sandoval</a> was always into anything that has to do with arts even as a young girl. She worked as an Art Director for an advertising agency before she had her first baby, a boy who gave her a new career direction. &#8220;Becoming a mother was the catalyst that caused her love of photography to blossom.</p>

<h2 class="title">Adele Enersen and <em>Mila&#8217;s Daydreams</em></h2>
<p><a href="http://milasdaydreams.blogspot.com/">Adele Enersen</a> is from Finland, I believe Helsinki to be exact. She&#8217;s not a professional photographer but makes this list because of her creativity. A copywriter and a concept designer by profession who took time off from work to have her baby &#8220;Mila&#8221;. To avoid disturbing Mila&#8217;s sleep Adele just takes a few minutes to create a concept and take a snapshot using a point and shoot Canon IXUS 750, then it&#8217;s back to the crib for the little angel. Adele Enersen will have a daydream-book out soon, inspired by her blog <a href="http://milasdaydreams.blogspot.com/"><em>Mila&#8217;s Daydreams</em></a> where she portray&#8217;s her daughter in a wide array of dream like poses and settings, using anything readily available at home she can get her hands on as props which is planned to be published sometime in 2012 by Balzer + Bray. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Whenever design meets functionality the result can always be a mixture of jaw dropping sensation with a mind boggling experience, strictly in that order. I saw this posted on Abduzeedo about a month ago and I just couldn’t keep my eyes off of it. The geniuses behind this structural phenomenon are the team from <a href="http://www.guzarchitects.com/">Guz Architects of Singapore</a>. Their vision was to create a modest yet luxurious home that would be comfortable in the tropical climate of Singapore and being a garden city it must also blend in with its natural surroundings. Located in <em>Sentosa</em>, this architectural inspiration boasts of eco friendly elements and a very modern living space design.</p>
<p><em>Let me give you a sort of guided tour around the house that could possibly be mine in another life or parallel universe. Excuse me while I drool during the walk through.</em></p>
<h2 class="title">Roof</h2>
<p>Shaped to represent the waves of the ocean and almost totally covered with thin bendable photovoltaic panels to supply enough energy to the house. The Fish House&#8217;s roof is partly carpeted by grass to help cool it&#8217;s interiors even on the warmest days and provide some outdoor leisure spaces.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.archdaily.com/68115/fish-house-guz-architects/guz-sentosa-007/"><img src="http://prodigalconcepts.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/1278687090-guz-sentosa-007.jpg" alt="fish house - guz architects" title="fish house - guz architects" width="628" height="398" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2422" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.archdaily.com/68115/fish-house-guz-architects/guz-sentosa-009/"><img src="http://prodigalconcepts.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/1278687096-guz-sentosa-009.jpg" alt="fish house - guz architects" title="fish house - guz architects" width="629" height="419" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2423" /></a></p>
<h2 class="title">2nd floor den</h2>
<p>Roomy and airy this 2nd floor entertainment area, with high ceilings that effectively help in distributing and circulating natural air coming from the sea, it also has a floor to ceiling view of the ocean that will make any guest want to stay long after the party.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.archdaily.com/68115/fish-house-guz-architects/guz-sentosa-023/"><img src="http://prodigalconcepts.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/1278687166-guz-sentosa-023.jpg" alt="fish house - guz architects" title="fish house - guz architects" width="629" height="437" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2429" /></a></p>
<h2 class="title">Masters bedroom with T&#038;B</h2>
<p>A luxurious masters bedroom with open toilet and bath and a view of the garden, the Fish House integrates nature into its living space perfectly. It&#8217;s like living outdoors with all the amenities and comforts of a modern home.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.archdaily.com/68115/fish-house-guz-architects/guz-sentosa-019/"><img src="http://prodigalconcepts.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/1278687147-guz-sentosa-019.jpg" alt="fish house - guz architects" title="fish house - guz architects" width="628" height="452" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2428" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.archdaily.com/68115/fish-house-guz-architects/guz-sentosa-016/"><img src="http://prodigalconcepts.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/1278687137-guz-sentosa-016.jpg" alt="fish house - guz architects" title="fish house - guz architects" width="629" height="404" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2441" /></a></p>
<h2 class="title">Pool</h2>
<p>A key part of the Fish House is the large pool that almost surrounds the entire structure like a moat, being a house with a full ocean view the pool links the house to the landscape and ultimately creates a visual connection with the sea. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.archdaily.com/68115/fish-house-guz-architects/guz-sentosa-015/"><img src="http://prodigalconcepts.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/1278687126-guz-sentosa-015.jpg" alt="fish house - guz architects" title="fish house - guz architects" width="628" height="580" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2426" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.archdaily.com/68115/fish-house-guz-architects/guz-sentosa-022/"><img src="http://prodigalconcepts.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/1278687160-guz-sentosa-022.jpg" alt="fish house - guz architects" title="fish house - guz architects" width="628" height="548" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2444" /></a></p>
<h2 class="title">Submerged den</h2>
<p>This is actually my favorite part, a den with a view from the inside of the pool, here you can relax watching your favorite movies while being underwater and without getting wet. I bet the acoustics here will blow your mind!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.archdaily.com/68115/fish-house-guz-architects/guz-sentosa-010/"><img src="http://prodigalconcepts.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/1278687102-guz-sentosa-010.jpg" alt="fish house - guz architects" title="fish house - guz architects" width="629" height="402" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2438" /></a></p>

I think we can learn a few pointers from Mr. Mathers about creativity, after all he's been hacking it up in one of the toughest creative business environment for awhile and he seems to be doing pretty well. This makes him a brilliant wire-frame of what you could do to come up with killer design concepts or articles when the juices aren't flowing. <a href="http://prodigalconcepts.com/harness-your-creativity-eminem-hypothesis/" class="more-link">continue reading</a>]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do you ever find yourself staring into space when you&#8217;re conceptualizing a design or in the middle of writing an article? I&#8217;m sure that some of us get into some form of creative block every now and then. There are people who don&#8217;t, apparently their creative juices just keeps on flowing like a natural spring (makes me envious). Well it&#8217;s just my luck I guess because I&#8217;m not one of them. <em>&#8220;I&#8217;m unique! Just like everyone else.&#8221;</em> So whenever I hit a dry wall I stop whatever project I&#8217;m doing, I find no point or pleasure in racking my brain for some ideas when something else is blocking it. I usually just play some music until I get my groove back, which brings us to Eminem&#8217;s latest single <em>&#8220;Love the way you lie&#8221;</em> from his new album <em>&#8220;Recovery&#8221;</em>.</p>
<p>I think we can learn a few pointers from Mr. Mathers about creativity, after all he&#8217;s been hacking it up in one of the toughest creative business environment for awhile and he seems to be doing pretty well. This makes him a brilliant wire-frame of what you could do to come up with killer design concepts or articles when the juices aren&#8217;t flowing.</p>
<h2 class="title">Introspect and retrospect</h2>
<p><img src="http://prodigalconcepts.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/meganFox.png" alt="Megan Fox - Love the way you lie" title="Megan Fox - Love the way you lie" width="628" height="256" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2370" /></p>
<p>Eminem’s music always talks about things that happened to him or people he knows, personal life experiences that he artistically shares with us. As creative&#8217;s we should not wander too far from who we are, and what we’ve learned from our past. Dig into that memory and look within yourself to get some inspiration. An old movie you saw, the billboard that jumped at you while you were cruising, these seemingly innocent bits of memories can be a springboard of ideas. Your music and literary preferences can speak for you so make sure you start by knowing who you are. Seek your inner flame and let it burn bright.</p>
<h2 class="title">You will always be hated</h2>
<p><img src="http://prodigalconcepts.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/domscreams.png" alt="Dominic Monaghan - Love the way you lie" title="Dominic Monaghan - Love the way you lie" width="628" height="256" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2373" /></p>
<p>Sometimes I freeze dead on my tracks during a creative process because I’m already thinking ahead and hearing how people hate my work keeps me from getting anything done. Eminem had people picketing against him, he was so hated early in his career that his songs wasn’t even getting airplay from any radio station. There’s really no point in trying to please everybody because you can’t, no one can, there will always be someone, somewhere who will hate you no matter what you do. So take out pleasing everyone out of the equation, remove it, trash it and dump it in the bin because you have your niche and people who share the same interests will follow just the same. So keep them in mind and write or design for them and keep the haters hating. After all there&#8217;s no such thing as bad press.</p>
<h2 class="title">Don’t be afraid to go against the flow and get burned</h2>
<p><img src="http://prodigalconcepts.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/eminem.png" alt="Eminem - Love the way you lie" title="Eminem - Love the way you lie" width="628" height="256" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2378" /></p>
<p>In real life going against the flow is tiring, it feels literally like swimming opposite the current. But if you believe in what you do you will get to where you want to be soon enough. Marshall Mathers had everything going against him, a white boy in a black dominated industry, but he kept on and now it seems nothing can stop him. So don’t be afraid to try something new something that’s never been done. You don’t have to follow a path you can always be a trail blazer .</p>
<h2 class="title">Collaborate</h2>
<p><img src="http://prodigalconcepts.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/megndom.png" alt="Megan Fox and Dominic Monaghan - Love the way you lie" title="Megan Fox and Dominic Monaghan - Love the way you lie" width="628" height="256" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2384" /></p>
<p>I’m sure EM has a free flowing spring of ideas, but he makes them fresh and diverse by collaborating with other artists, Dr. Dre, Dido, 50 Cent, D-12, Pink, Sir Elton John (during the 43rd Annual Grammy Awards in 2001) and now Rihanna. So don’t be a lone wolf, creative work blooms when there’s more than one person with a single idea. But take care in choosing who to collaborate with.</p>

<h2 class="title">Create something from something</h2>
<p><img src="http://prodigalconcepts.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/teddybear.png" alt="Love the way you lie - Eminem ft. Rihanna" title="Love the way you lie - Eminem ft. Rihanna" width="628" height="256" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2389" /></p>
<p>Eminem did not pioneer hip-hop, it was already flourishing when he embraced it as his own thing. Sometimes you don&#8217;t have to create something from scratch, I hate to sound like an <em>American Idol</em> judge but you can always take something that&#8217;s already there and make it your own. Create something else of what&#8217;s already out there and give it some WOW with your magic touch, do an Andy Warhol. </p>
<h2 class="title">Go green</h2>
<p><img src="http://prodigalconcepts.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/burning-teddy.png" alt="Love the way you lie - Eminem ft. Rihanna" title="Love the way you lie - Eminem ft. Rihanna" width="628" height="256" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2388" /></p>
<p>Recycling is not only good for mother earth, your creations can be recycled and be given new life. Eminem does it all the time, you can hear words or phrases in his lyrics that he used in one song and reused on another. I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s laziness or lack of new material that makes EM recycle his lines, because he reuses them with a touch of genius. <em>&#8220;I just drank a fifth of vodka &#8211; dare me to drive?&#8221;</em> from &#8211; <em>My Name is (Slim Shady)</em>, reused in <em>Stan</em>. So go dig up your old files and take something from it that will work with your latest project. Who knows it might be the missing piece you&#8217;ve been losing sleep over.</p>
<h3 class="title">That&#8217;s it ladies and homies</h3>
<p>Take what you can and use it accordingly, and be sure to check out Eminem&#8217;s latest album <em>&#8220;Recovery&#8221;</em>, just pop it in then crank it up and if the neighbors complain you can always flip &#8216;em the bird Eminem style. Meanwhile let&#8217;s all sit back and enjoy the disturbingly steamy scenes between Megan Fox and Dominic Monaghan for the <em>&#8220;Love the way you lie&#8221;</em> music video.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>No matter how old we get we never forget our love for toys, creative folks and especially young professionals can be seen inside their favorite toy shops on the weekends (or after work) to ogle at the new released action figure. And they’re not scouting the premises to buy that shiny new toy for their kids or their younger siblings.  They’re on a mission to get the latest work of art out of the store shelf and be among their increasing priced collection.</p>
<p>Now what if you are like our featured artist of the week, he doesn&#8217;t visit toy shops simply to purchase someone else&#8217;s work, although I&#8217;m sure he has quite the collection. He also goes inside the magical emporiums to be inspired and probably to get some raw materials because Jim Faustino makes his own toys, yup he&#8217;s a toy maker of sorts he&#8217;s a regular Geppetto. He’s also an Illustrator, Painter, Comic book and Action figure enthusiast and the skill that brought him to our attention, a Sculptor. Another talented Filipino doing what he loves and being good at what he does Jim is a world class act and an inspiration to all of us.</p>
