All I can say is that JD has been the guy who was in forefront in flash starting back in the days and still do but more in artistic sense.
i think commercialization is inevitable. Warhol had is factory and Koons have Koonies to realize his work. Not to say JD has an army. Bruce Mau said once that good designer do good work but great designer sell good work as great work.
I think what it comes down to is that digital art tends to treated as lesser of an art. After over 10 years, web / interactive is considered still not real design or art. And I think it still has a long way to go. Remember video artists?
Regardless I prefer crit to group love. I find group love doesnt get you anywhere. Personality wise, I expect anyone who is good to be a self absorbed ass (well except Sam Dallyn).
P.S. This post does not make sense, a mere brain dump.

Khurram... that's called making a living. slap slap slap.
janne76 it's usually the reverse for me... the trolling gets heavier.
chossy... I think this is what has totally confused me... in the 80's I looked a pop art and one thing was clear that the artists I was looking at had a very specific visual style. Yet people keep bringing this up... maybe I've got it all wrong... but I thought working toward an identifiable visual style was something you wanted to achieve.
someone brought up Robert Hodgin's work... while Robert jumped from Flash to Processing to Java to now C++ hit his Flickr page... and every image is undeniably Robert whether that work was create in any of the aforementioned technologies.
style is OK - I'd say it's the ultimate achievement but I'll try not to make this personal.
just because it's new... doesn't mean it's the best... if you can kill it in HYPERcard... kill it in HYPERcard.

I guess if you have found a successful "style" or approach which clients like and it keeps you in work, then there's nothing wrong with that. For all we know, he could have loads of other stuff up his sleeve or other stuff he's working on.
A lot of what has been said can be said of a lot of successful designers/artists/agencies - But why re-invent the wheel?
Yeah, you can argue about being creative for the sake of it and process and all that but a true creative person is the one who recognises when they are onto something instead of wasting time trying to do something "different".

I like josh.
He has been helpful to many people on qbn/Newstoday for years.
That means more to me then some reporter who has got nothing better to write about then bashing someone for being successful.
That being said, i didnt read the article.

Etype ? is that comment directed towards me ? who makes my new stuff ? I just glanced over my shoulder and there's only 1 person sitting in my studio... and I'm wearing his underwear.
