Life Changing Moments

Brought to you by Ragu, pasta sauce. Yeah, I said it. This isn't a post about something dramatic happening in my life, or a new direction, it's a TV commercial that well, I'm sure most of the population can relate to on some level. Oh, and exactly why your parents told you to always knock before entering a room (or their room). This is the stand out spot from a series created for the brand recently.

All With A Ball Point Pen

Amazing work from someone who says it's just a hobby of theirs. Consider all you can do digitally and then realize this isn't done with a computer, nor is it an actual photograph of a fiery redhead... it's created with ball point pens, Bic brand I believe and just 8 colors.

ORIGINAL ARTICLE

Sasquatch Cares

He doesn't want you to burn your tongue! Just because he couldn't grasp the concept of hot coffee... at least he's looking out for others.

They Were There.

New spot from Gatorade. How do you feel about it?

No mention of the Olympics (I believe official sports drink sponsor was Powerade), but the spot pushes the fact that they while they weren't on billboards or commemorative snow globes, they were there, inside the athletes. I like it. I do. A little ominous in tone though. Maybe a bit more than it needed to be.

Music On Paper

You know when you hear or read about an idea, concept or innovation and it strikes you.. like it was something you've heard before, or it just feels like it must have been done before? Well, here's one of those...

Instantly drawn to the magnitude of this idea. The sentiments shared by the author (Will Burns) of the following article on Frobes resonate with me. It's smart, well thought out and frankly, a nice strategic concept. This extends beyond our digital boundaries and garners a lot of respect for Beck and his camp (yes, the singer, Beck). Also makes me proud to be in the marketing industry.

Definitely worth the quick read, I promise.

Using A Typewriter To Paint... Totally Normal.. Right?!

Found this in my GoogleReader and I agree with the short statement at the end of the write up, "I don’t know how practical painting an image with a color typewriter is..." but I would sure as hell give it a try. Although, I must admit, the patience to transform this is probably something beyond me at most times, I love the idea though.
