>It's someone's dream to be discovered like that - and then to fall almost faster back into obscurity?

Obscurity can be nice. I'm a stay-backstage kind of person. Even when I do work in creative public-facing endeavors my goal to make the product enjoyable without needing any non-monetary benefit. I work for a company that purposefully makes sure our name is on very little. It's not the same, of course. We obviously have to be visible enough to get clients. But it's got a comfort that suits me. You've almost certainly used one of our products, but even if I could tell you what it is you'd never know it from the branding on it.
