What it’s about: Hugh MacLeod is a cartoonist and professional blogger, known for his ideas about how "Web 2.0" affects advertising and marketing.
Hugh, was an advertising copywriter when he started blogging at gapingvoid.com in 2001. He started off just publishing his cartoons drawn on the back of a postcard, but now he combines his cartoons with his blog posts about marketing.

Why you should read Hugh’s blog: The post about ‘How to be Creative’ is a classic in itself. Hugh shares 36 tips (with cartoons) on being ‘more creative, in art, in business, whatever’ that have worked for him over the years – and here are the first six:
1. Ignore everybody.
2. The idea doesn't have to be big. It just has to be yours.
3. Put the hours in.
4. If your biz plan depends on you suddenly being "discovered" by some big shot, your plan will probably fail.
5. You are responsible for your own experience.
6. Everyone is born creative; everyone is given a box of crayons in kindergarten.

In a nutshell: Witty, wry and addictive cartoons and commentary on marketing.
