I talked about this in my other journal but every time I see it, it makes me a little angry and sad. Magic companies rarely put the faces of the creators on the packaging. They want something that promotes the company, not the individual. This is an artistic freedom you give up anytime you decide to hand over your art to someone else. Sadly it seems I am guilty of this now. Lesson learned.

Sometimes when I try and describe to some magicians my artistic values and how they are more important than money I know they are looking at me like the RCA dog looks at a gramophone... and I feel sorta alone.
