I received this in the mail the other day. Just a few observations: What ever happened to target audience, when advertising?

All of the Wall Street players could have a big televised party where they get together, blow … Continue reading Make it stop!→

I also hadn’t realized before reading this book, that I was born on the 200th anniversay of the battle … Continue reading Presidents Day, etc..→
Shepard Fairey is back at it, producing artwork for a “good cause.” The image to the left, is for a World Wildlife Foundation campaign to get everyone to turn out their lights for an hour on March 28th. Lets hope that Shep doesn’t get in any trouble for this one. He has been going through … Continue reading Fairey “Earth Hour” Poster→
