“ How far should an artist go when mimicking, or borrowing ideas from other artists. Ultimately what is their responsibility to make an idea their own. What is the responsibility of art directors and creative directors in educating their clients about a comp, and how it should be used to begin the creative process, not conclude it.

“ Online is amazing, but it in itself is not a solution. I think it allows you to have a three-dimensional conversation, which is fantastic. But I would argue that it’s actually even more annoying to do bad stuff online than it is on TV. The pre-rolls, the inappropriate banner ads that you can’t shut down, they all drive me crazy. There’s also a tendency to take what you already have (the print campaign) and stick it online. It doesn’t work. It’s insane.
