The Jungle Book for iPad by Electric Type

I had the good fortune to work on this project. Congrats to Electric Type on a fabulous launch. 

Closing in on 1000

Conflicted. Not sure if that's an accomplishment or an embarassment.

Four Color Process Part Deux

I'm a huge 4CP fan. This recent image, "Red Ruined City", made me think of Japan. 

$30.00 Movies on Demand? Yeah, That'll Work.

Because everybody wants to pay MORE money to see crappy Hollywood movies, remakes, and sequels.

"Warner Bros., Sony, Universal and 20th Century Fox have all agreed to be involved with 'Home Premiere', the industry's official premium VOD service which is set to launch late next month reports Variety.

Movies will be offered up to rent for $30 for a 2-3 day viewing period. Titles will show up two months after their theatrical releases, depending on the distributor, and won't include films that "are still performing well at the box-office".

As far as I can tell, the ONLY factor that makes this a "Premium" service — is the ridiculous $30.00 price tag. Brilliant. So help me understand the buinsess model here, Hollywood; I can go see a movie in the theater on opening day for $10.00 — or I can see the same movie, two months later, on my TV at home, for $30.00. Awesome! Sign me up!

Critics vs. Audiences, The Great Divide

American Apparel's New "Art Class" Campaign (NSFW!)

American Apparel pushes the boundaries — of my pants. All kidding aside, their ad campaigns are overtly sexual, bordering on pornographic, and they've taken a lot of heat in the media for their use of suggestive photos of what appear to be underage girls. So how do they get around that PR nightmare, you ask? — Drawering. Their new campaign replaces photos with charcoal drawings of semi-nude young girls. The ads have very little to do with the clothing, but they have EVERYTHING to do with the brand. The attitude, typography, drawing style and subject matter are all edgy, cool and anti-establishment. And frankly, the imagery isn't too much racier than the majority of ads you see in the high-end fashion mags. You can view the very NSFW campaign over on Copyranter.
