NYC artist and local native Richard Borge came back home last week to speak at an AdFed luncheon about moving into an animated world. His work is fantastic and inspirational; mixing his illustration skills with found artifacts that melt together in a Photoshop pot. I guarantee as an artist, you may never look at a muffin wrapper the same. Now he’s putting his technique into motion directing and animating music videos for Ozomatli and Jesca Hoop and more. Great work, Richard!
We’re gearing up to launch the official Grill-A-Thon website within the next few months! The site will be a great source for event information as well as grilling tips and tricks. Once underway, we’ve got plans for even more grilling fun with all kinds of merchandise and podcasts. Stay tuned!
Check out the preview here.
New Macbooks
Got my hands on the new MacBooks the other day. Gotta say they feel like they’re built like a tank, which eased my mand a tidbit about the glass display. However, lack of a firewire port means no Target Disk Mode, and for this guy, that’s no good. Looks like I’ll be making more of an upgrade than I thought.
This is probably getting a little old; my Microsoft ad campaign banter. But they just make it so easy. This latest ad is a perfect example. What’s with the line at the end?
“I’m a PC and a human being. Not a human DOING, not a human THINKING, a human being.”
Huh? You don’t DO or THINK? You just BE? It seems to contradict the entire ad showing many people with their accomplishments. Obviously they must have been both thinking and doing.
If you know me, you know I love to grill. And who love to grill just as much as I do? Well, a lot of people, but mostly my friends and family! So, this year we’ve created a seasonal event dubbed Grill-A-Thon. The idea is simple. Wake up and start grillin’ and keep on truckin’ until you literally can’t stand anymore. We gather as many grills as we can find and get as many chefs and eaters as we can to take part of this little spectacle.
Grill-A-Thon was created as a time to get together with friends and learn from each other tips, tricks, and recipes. You can come and cook, or just enjoy the food. There’s really no rules at all.
What would an awesome event be without a little design for desert? That’s why I created this logo for us and am currently working on a website and some merchandise. I figured I’d through the design in a starry night scene around a glowing grill as is how the event usually comes to rest. So feast your eyes!
