Creative Ecology Rule #1: WRITE EVERYTHING DOWN
On my way home, I had the most genius idea. It’ll be easily reproducible, disruptive to the creative economy and the lifestyles of millions of people. It’ll change the lives of all those people and it will also change MY life, because it will make me a millionaire! -and when that happens, I will buy this: Also…I … Read more
Levi’s Studies Hot Rods. I Wonder, Who IS Hot Rod?
Here’s another example of Levi’s being involved in more than just clothing. A brief history of Hot Rod culture, circa 195….you saw the title. And here is young America’s current version of a Hot Rod
Paperman: Cutesy and Sweet Disney Movie Makes Me Want to Throw Paper Planes at My Girlfriend
Here’s the much anticipated, super charming, adult-appropriate short from Disney, Paperman. Loved all 6 minutes and 35 seconds of it. I only have one question. If Belle is now a hot girl in the city, looking for work and looking for love…what happened to the Prince/Beast?
SUPER BRAWL
This is fairly brilliant. An animator sketches clever adaptations of this season’s games. Downloads available at the source, here: Photo Album – Imgur.
A Racist Ting Dat: VW Toes Racism…and Is Hilarious
Volkswagen may have won this year’s Super Bowl commercial championship of the world. Because I’m smart enough (stupid enough) to not have cable, I’m not really sure WHEN the spot aired, but I do know that by the time the lights came back on in the Superdome (nice job, Bey), the cries of racism had begun, and … Read more
Age Ain’t Nuthin But A Number
I’m currently on a turbulent flight to San Francisco (first time!). I’m on my way to present initial ideas for an experiential marketing activation to my client’s boss. And while sitting on this turbulent flight, I felt something I’ve haven’t felt in a looooong time. Anxiety. I was- I think they call it- nervous. The turbulence has … Read more
The First World Adventures of Nathaniel E. Dread: Black and Yellow
I stood on the corner, dead tired, fantasizing about freaky shit. In this case, a terry cloth robe and a glass of whiskey, neat. The weight of today’s accomplishment made my eyelids heavy, it was another good (16 hour) day: I had written a $250K budget, crafted a week-long marketing strategy, ate better than 80% of … Read more
White Guys, Black Girls, Lines in the Sand
I’m going assume that the black girls who have a problem with Chester French’s new song and music video, Black Girls, also have an atomic problem with Robin Thicke. Most of the black girls I interact with give Rob a race pass (a select few give him such an exception that they’d bet money he … Read more
Holo-Pac, Full Future
We got played! We all thought that Tupac wasn’t really dead and was hiding out in Cuba or in some church in Mexico. We thought his return had something to do with the turn of the millennium or he’d pop up at Summer Jam. Come to find out, he was right at home in California and would … Read more
Drake, I Don’t Understand You! Thank you!
Drake just dropped two new videos, and they both don’t make any fucking sense!! But fuck it, I love it though. The video for Take Care confuses me the same way most hip-hop videos do: the visuals content doesn’t match up to the lyrical. Though I think this video is absolutely beautiful (the director and director … Read more
