OBJECTIVE DEFINE YOUR GOALS, KEEP THEM SIMPLE
This blog has one objective. Rather, one that was recently given to me by a reader and fellow creative friend, a few weeks ago. I'm still bent on being uniquely the epitome. However, Swiss thinks originality is UE's single-minded thought.
IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT YOU'RE A MONKEY
Funny and well written. And for those of you that are curious, this technique is considered an animatic.

UNIQUE MEDIA PLACEMENT
These are a few months old. It seems I have a stock-pile of creative the needs to be posted. Anyhow–these are a really nice use of the surrounding environment, nice art direction too. It's ok that they are intrusive.Everyone loves to work on Amnesty.

SCULPTURES GOOD ENOUGH TO EAT
A collection of watermelon sculptures.
Eat My Hamster has a little tutorial for creating these little edible masterpieces. I'm not sure how I would feel knowing the longevity of these pieces is dependent on everyone else's appetite. Very nice work though.

DRIP BIKE

PAUL RAND EXHIBITION IN MIAMI

It's brilliant.
MAMMA KNOWS
Well, I'm not going to lie. My only reason for posting this was because of the name.
