Anti-Spec Target, Pixish, Set to Shut Down

Interesting bit of online news, as it was just recently announced that founder Derek Powazek has decided to pull the plug on one of his most recent online endeavors, Pixish. You might remember when the site launched back in February of this year and created something of a controversy, often linked to all the negatives of spec work (e.g. doing the work without a contract and only hoping for money in return). In Powazek’s post, announcing the closure, he says his decision came from a number of directions, from personal reasons to launching too quickly to even explaining that they “underestimated the ‘spec work’ issue.”
