Foot Locker - All Is Right

Mike Tyson returns Holyfield's ear and Rodman leaves the country permanently, just to name a few. I did the spot that was shared with me this morning by our phenomenal Cybil here at the agency.

Interactive Music Video

You change the stations, channel surfing through the Evening News, The Price is Right, the History Channel, ESPN, Property Brothers, and the list goes on. As you do, notice that everyone's singing the song. Pretty epic execution.

Red Octopus by Keng Lye

As I am in the process of getting my very own octopus tattoo, this immediately caught my attention. Pretty incredible to say the least, reading how the artist (Keng Lye) made this come to stunningly realistic life. Epic really. And starting the body form with an eggshell, love it.

The Octopus, Session #1

I've wanted a number of tattoos for quite some time. I finally this year have started that ball rolling and began with a piece of work that's been on my mind for 6+ years now. An octopus, on my left arm and shoulder. Why an octopus? But don't you love elephants? Yes. I do love elephants and when I figure out exactly what I want for that tattoo, I'll do it (it must be perfect ya know). Until then Im completing the octopus with a friend from college. Kevin Pulido. Check him out on Instagram (@kevindcsf).

And here's some of the shots of the first session, in process and after. Still got at least 2-3 more sessions before this sucker has been completed and I can't wait.

What is Creativity?

Good fucking question.

What is creativity? Where does it come from? Is any work really original work? You're a "creative" person, so the ideas should just come spewing out... right? The inquiries, debate and misconceptions go on and on. I understand and appreciate a lot of the information in this piece. And I agree in that being creative can range from cooking dinner to sculpting a work of art. So much good stuff in here.

The video is from the PBS Off Book series and titled, "How to be Creative". Thought provoking, informative and definitely worth a look.

Photographing Cancer

Series done by American photographer, Angelo Merendino. A brave, moving and down right incredible series. Taking photos along the way as his girlfriend battled cancer. I'm posting the first picture here, but please, click the credit link and check out the series. It's a wonderful and very personal insight into the path that Jennifer went through. Wow.

GWAR & Me, A Decade Later

It'd been 10 years since I'd seen them live. It was long overdue. The blood, the guts, the gore. Yeah, I missed it. And running into some old friends was icing on the cake. Some shots from the epic show below, including the bathroom mess that would normally startle anyone in different circumstances.

Banksy Does NYC

I'm sure everyone's heard of Banksy and his NYC escapades over the past couple weeks. If not, here's two of the videos for a couple things, most of all the Rebel video makes me sad. Considering I was obsessed with Dumbo when I was a child. I'll leave it at that.
