Things I Find Interesting
Art & Copy.. I want to see it!
ART & COPY is a powerful new film about advertising and inspiration. Directed by Doug Pray (SURFWISE, SCRATCH, HYPE!), it reveals the work and wisdom of some of the most influential advertising creatives of our time — people who’ve profoundly impacted our culture, yet are virtually unknown outside their industry. Exploding forth from advertising’s “creative [...]
The best website footer in the world. ever. period.
A good friend of mine (Chris at Modry Design Studio) recently posted a link to this in the wonderful world of Facebook. Halfway through I knew it was blog-worthy! For all of you involved in the everyday headache that is Internet Explorer and having to design and / or develop around it, I bring forth, [...]
“It’s Broken…” Yep. I agree.
To go along with other posts ( here and here ) in which I have intermingled my wonderful kids and branding, this one is quite funny and heavily agreed by me. My 22-month old daughter recently saw a Sprite logo on a printed piece that my wife was holding. She looked it over, as well [...]
Magic Mouse will be mine.

Diesel’s Only the Brave Packaging
Impact! The new Diesel Fragrance “Only The Brave” packaging speaks it very well.. (to me at least) Oh and it smells good too!
New toys added to the collection!
I was blessed to have some time off and do a little shopping with the wife and kids this past weekend and, as always, the inner child in me exploded.. I was lucky enough to get a few new Kidrobot Dunnys as well as one of the Rollin’ Stock figures (designed by KidAcne for Kidrobot).. [...]
Pepsi and Mountain Dew “Throwback” Packaging..
I really don’t know what it is with my trips to Target lately but it seems I cannot escape my line of work.. Branding, Identity, Packaging, etc. Okay, so maybe I could if it weren’t so much fun! I am an absolute nerd for these types of things and point it out everywhere we go! [...]
The four little circles..
I was recently walking with my 9-year-old son into the local Target store as he pointed to a car beside of us and mentioned “Dad, that’s an Audi. I like Audi’s. They are nice” and I responded “Oh yea? They ARE nice cars huh?”. So I asked him how he knew, that quickly, how that [...]
