* I haven't been paying a bunch of attention to Inktober, the latest "let's all draw something" stunt in which many artists are participiating on-line, but I have enjoyed some of the little drawings I've seen as a result, like this Colossus by Mike Dawson.
* not comics: Iggy Pop apparently doesn't make enough money from music on which to live, and he blames in part the ability to access his work for free against his wishes that it be free. A good friend of mine insists it's a lot easier to conceive of what's going on here if you eliminate the idea of free from the discussion and realize that consumers now feel that in several ways that count they're already paying you with the time they spend consuming your work.
