Ok -- this is totally a "has nothing to do with India" post ... but it's important to me.
I'm not an artist. I create stuff all of the time with my kiddos, in my journal, when I doodle ... but no one will likely ever see it, let alone pay for it.
However, I have long been a believer in giving credit where credit is due ... this applies to the little things and the big things. It applies to the art world and the real-every-day world. It applies to saying "thank you" when someone else's name should be mentioned as well. It means you should always ... ALWAYS give appreciate to those that helped you accomplish something.
Kal is an amazing artist and creative soul and I've long loved her blog. Recently she had some stuff going on with uncredited work of hers being splayed about the internet. Won't get into all of that, but DO want to turn you on to the new project of hers, LinkwithLove.
It's all about giving credit where credit is due -- and although I think Kal's thing is more about the art world ... I 100% believe it also should be more applied to blogging as well.
Read more about Kal's thought process and the birthing of this project.
Once you've read that, please consider helping her along in her desire to reach 100,000 "likes" on the LinkwithLove Facebook page.
If you want to read more, the LinkwithLove blog is a good choice, or you can feel to check out Kal's pinterest board or the LinkwithLove pinterest board.
Link up, but do it with love!
(ok - I do have to admit that I am not very good about doing research before I pin to my pinterest boards ... I joined it ages ago and it's always just been a place for me to keep a mental to-do list for myself ... I need to get better at trying to dig for the source before I pin it, eh?)
((If you want an invite for Pinterest, let me know. It's pretty life changing. Well, that and the new way to view your google reader.))
