Run Freak Run - The Fairytale. This week we had an interesting question posed to us by Jarrod in the blog’s comment section.
In a nutshell it was about breaking out of an old style, and whether we have any helpful views on that subject. I started writing an answer, but it blew out of proportion pretty quickly. Silver said he wants to contribute his thoughts on the matter too, but since out of the two of us I’m the “man of few words”, we decided this subject will do better as a proper blog post. My response to the question took a more “general thoughts” approach, whereas Silver talks more in depth about the production side of the concepting process.
