Goodbye Hot Sheets!

..and hello to late-night-deck-building!

So it's become official as of today, that on October 1st, I'll start with MRM Worldwide here in San Francisco as an Art Director. Something I've been striving for since graduating from Ai back at the end of 2009. While I've gotten my feet wet and worked on the creative side for a portion of time while at twofifteenmccann (and thank you to them for the opportunity), this marks my official departure from the Senior Account Executive role! Time to celebrate and then start taking over the world.. one ad at a time.

As Dynamic As The News Itself!

Thanks to a friend and old coworker for sending this my way this morning. Colbert's rant on the new redesign of the USA Today logo. Mmmm... pizza bagels...

Back To The 60's

Taking back old school, and yes, I'm just now catching up on this, from the Spring. tisk, tisk. Well, none the less, it's great to see throw backs to old style advertising and make this issue feel more authentic to the time period for which the show takes place. Well done.

See all the retro ads here:

Rip it. Come On Sissy!

Politely scanning through my latest copy of Communication Arts, Design Annual, I came across this little challenge. Well, i tried, and no, it wasn't possible. Advertising synthetic paper for a vast array of materials, it boasts the ability to not be able to be torn. Hey, at least I tried. And I thought it was clever. Getting me to interact with you print ad. Pretty rare these days. Also, taking a shot at my masculinity was a good way for me to give it a go.

I Love Whiskey

...and I love these tumblers. Constructed to look as distorted as the world around you when consuming adult beverages. I must have them. End of story.

A Teabag Trip

Had to share the following packaging and concept. Not just because the elephants caught my eye (if you know anything about me and my love for those creatures), but the intricacy of the imagery created with the tea leaves. Pretty awesome stuff.

It's Happening Again And You've Been Warned

The time is fast approaching for yet another Spikes Soccer Club fundraiser. Now I started this event with the backing of the Spikes club and crew at SoMa bar Powerhouse, almost a year to the date that this next one will occur. It's been a huge success and I want to give a sincere thanks to those who have helped out with all 3 thus far in any capacity. We couldn't have done these so successfully without everyones help. Plus it provides great 'team bonding' and gets us out of the normal Castro crowd to change things up. And yes, 'team bonding' can be taken in many ways, but no, pervert, I was talking about camaraderie and socializing over adult beverages. I don't know what you were thinking... Oh hell, who am I kidding. Everyone lets their hair down and has a blast w/ a lot of team gossip post-event. Surprised? Yeah, don't be. Man I love this club.

Now let's get down and dirty and raise some funds!
