Where did this #dailysketchext come from? Oh so many things were going on in my head when I made this. I confess, mostly cynical thoughts in the beginning. I was thinking "and I shall call this dress 'the death of the fashion designer'" because I was thinking about some recent developments in 3D printing technology that are aiming for everyone to print clothes in their own living room (it will be a minute so don't hold your breath just yet). The problem is there is no copyright protection on designs for clothing (this is part of the reason why designers are always having to put out new stuff), so even if designers could sell their patterns for home printing, there would be nothing to prevent anyone from sharing that design on the Internet and the designer would only make one sale on it. Then this got me thinking about how some musicians and many photographers have been going through similar issues and I just got all cynical, thinking about how the deck is just stacked against artists in this system and the spiral continued... This is what happens to my brain when I spend too much time looking at the news on my Twitter feed.
