I am deligh­ted to report that the “IGNORE EVERYBODY” car­toon, a fond favo­rite of com­pu­ter desk­tops everywhere, is now on offer as a limi­ted edi­tion print. It will sell on the gallery site for $ 495.00 after it is published [mid-August], but is now avai­la­ble as a pre-order offer of $275.00, with just a $50.00 depo­sit. To make the depo­sit, click on the Pay­Pal but­ton below. As always, we’ll send you an invoice for the remain­der once the print is sig­ned, num­be­red and ready to ship.

Ear­lier this year, Patrick Bren­nan was stuck in an air­port lounge for seve­ral hours, wai­ting for his con­nec­ting flight. To kill time, he star­ted mes­sing around visually on his com­pu­ter with the forty chap­ter tit­les of my book “Ignore Every­body”. He came up with this, then emai­led it to me.
I liked it so much, I went ahead and re-worked it, in my own handw­ri­ting. Very cool.
The book began life as a blog post, back in 2004. It had a very sim­ple pre­mise: “So you want to be more crea­tive, in art, in busi­ness, wha­te­ver. Here are some tips that have wor­ked for me over the years.“
Then I made a list, and kept adding to it…
I never expec­ted it to reso­nate with so many peo­ple, but it did, somehow.
The fact is, there are millions of peo­ple out there who want to do something more crea­tive with their lives. Of course there are. “Crea­ti­vity” is NOT an exc­lu­sive domain for those goofy, trendy hips­ter types. “Crea­ti­vity” is a basic human need.
And I don’t think a life spent figh­ting like hell, to get that basic human need expres­sed and ful­fi­lled, is a bad thing.
So I deci­ded to make these prints, in order to have something on the wall to remind us of this, every day. Rock on.

   Outs­tan­ding!
   More peo­ple should come to the rea­li­za­tion they are res­pon­si­ble for their own hap­pi­ness and finan­cial well being.
   Perhaps you can be the guru advi­sing peo­ple to stop lis­te­ning to gurus! (heh heh)

   Where’s #2? “The idea doesn’t have to be big. It just has to be yours.” That’s one of my favorites.

   The one that did it for me was “We all have our own Mt Eve­rests to climb”. Took me a while to rea­lise how power­ful such an inno­cent loo­king sta­te­ment is. Great work Hugh — keep scribbling…

   Do you throw in a copy of the book for first-movers?
