Right here’s my cartoon recap from the Cannes Lions Worldwide Pageant of Creativity this week. System1 invited me to sketch a day by day cartoon based mostly on what I noticed, strolling round with my sketchpad for the week.
This one is in regards to the transition again to common work on the finish. Even for those who haven’t been to this competition, hopefully you may relate to the return expertise after any type of artistic retreat.
Creativity is finally not in regards to the inspiration or concepts — it’s about the way you convey them to life. Championing really artistic work normally entails operating a gauntlet. It’s very simple to accept safer variations of artistic execution. However too many compromises can water down the outcome to nothing.
Considered one of my earliest cartoons reimagined Isaac Newton beneath the apple tree and what occurs after the apple drops and inspiration strikes. Every body has chomps taken out of the apple till what’s left is applesauce. All of us need to struggle in opposition to Newton’s applesauce.
A number of of my conversations final week touched on this common problem in artistic work.
Right here’s the remainder of my Cannes Lions cartoon mini-series. I hope you take pleasure in them!
