My first job in Hollywood was pushing a mail cart through these halls. As a home-schooled kid from Pasadena, CA trying to break into a highly-gated and closed-off industry, it was a dream to be able to simply deliver coffee to these executives and talent around town, while learning how the biz worked. A LOT has changed since then and Hollywood’s unsustainable, hit-driven model has been fully exposed by the tech/streaming companies taking over with their subscription plans, leaving traditional studios (and the creatives) in the dust. We hear/read it all the time: Hollywood is broken. I always knew from the start that this oligarch structure of how the industry runs was not sustainable. We’re seeing it now. Consolidation at it’s finest as the dinosaurs who once ran this business fade away. And of course, the true gold (the actual IP libraries) are what’s left of a horrible business model for the likes of Sony, Ellison, etc. to acquire. We just begun to see the rotten business models of the film and television business because the actual talent took to the streets in protest. We have not seen ANYTHING yet. Wait until the gaming industry wakes up to the fact that no level designer, game developer, art director, 3D artist, etc. (the actual talent that makes our favorite games) don’t receive a shred of residuals. And we’re talking about an industry that is much larger than film, tv, music combined. So while I see everyone raving about Hollywood x Gaming, all we're really seeing is adaptations seeking for another big hit. So we’ll continue to see more layoffs, titles being shelved and studios shutting down. All this has created opportunity for the next generation of entertainment companies like Iconic Arts to open doors. There will soon be a wave of young, creative leaders that know how to leverage technology, new entertainment financing models and participatory community building through gaming, that will take over. These companies will take a more “Silicon Valley approach” to a Hollywood studio, building emerging tools to lower costs and risks of developing new IP. They’ll also use UGC platforms like Roblox and Fortnite more than just marketing campaigns for their already produced titles. These will also serve as market testing and community building environments for original content, gaming and merchandising. Those highly-gated walls of Hollywood I mentioned are crumbling. We have entered a new era in which creators and storytellers from any part of the world can be successful in the "industry". Mailroom culture is done and creative democratization is here. Iconic Arts is leading the way on all fronts here as the premier next-gen entertainment company. Some exciting announcements coming soon from our team.

Taylor Swift had murals painted in various cities around the world featuring QR codes to send mysterious messages ahead of her new album launch. The Qrcode appeared printed using tiny letters “TTPD” and “13” on large acrylic sheets. It's interesting to wonder whether Masahiro Hara, the inventor of QR codes initially meant for tracking car parts in Toyota factories, ever imagined this technology would be used to present restaurant menus, share contact details on business cards, or even... launch a pop singer's album!   Masahiro Hara came up with the idea of arranging information (bits) in a square pattern of black and white pixels during a lunch break, while watching a Go game.   QR Code, short for “Quick Response Code,” has three large squares on its sides to indicate its orientation (allowing it to be scanned from any direction) and consists of black modules arranged within a white square layout.   With the advent of smartphones, QR codes moved beyond factories, giving everyone a tool to decipher these codes and quickly access a specific link.   In their simplicity, I find QR codes an extraordinary tool to bridge the physical and digital worlds! #QRcode #TaylorSwift #Marketing

Looking for new solutions to old challenges and to inject creativity, innovation and fun at work? Tarot is an awesome tool because it calls on our intuition in addition to our intellect. Here are a few significant discoveries that were made intuitively. Law of Gravity by Isaac Newton: * While observing an apple fall from a tree, Newton had the intuition that there must be a force pulling the apple towards the Earth. This led to his formulation of the law of universal gravitation, which revolutionized our understanding of the physical world. * Theory of Relativity by Albert Einstein: * Einstein had a deep intuition about the nature of space, time, and gravity, which led him to develop the special theory of relativity and later the general theory of relativity. These theories fundamentally altered our understanding of the universe, challenging long-held beliefs and providing a new framework for physics. Interested to know more? Join me and enter the world of discovery through tarot. #teambuilding #leadership #bestadvice #selfhelp #personaldevelopment
