Wrapping Shit Up

January 27, 2010

SERIOUSLY: One of my favorite logos of all time: Kendall Motor Oil. Incredible.- - - -THE FRIENDLY SKIES: Flying to Denver tomorrow morning for the annual SIA tradeshow. Snowboard stuff and ski stuff. They moved the show from Las Vegas to Denver this year, and I can't help but be a little sad. I loved going down to Vegas. People watching, meals, gambling, booze, etc. The whole time. It's fun seeing all the folks from the industry, both people I hang with and work for in one setting. You get to see all the new work, and see where your brands stand on a very visual level. I've always enjoyed the tradeshow circuit.Goo and I fly out early tomorrow morning to go hang with our clients some. Wrapping stuff up all day long, today, gearing up for the next couple days in the Rockies.- - - -DAYWRECKER WARNING: Fortune Magazine's Visual Achievements. Good lord. Be careful in there.I've got a good stack at the shop. Old as hell. Big format. Ah hell, like you care. Dig into: "Diagrams!"Scary shit like this.- - - -CUTE ATTACK: Little Remy! Not everything on the DDC Factory Floor is hard, ugly and caustic. When little Remy comes by the place gets real soft. Goo and Fran's little man.- - - -KING OF THE BREEDS: Check out this smarmy little black and tan right here. (Thanks, Schille!)- - - -THINK YOU GOT IT ROUGH? TRY THIS LINE OF WORK: Fighting in Afghanistan. Here's a new doc coming out called Battle for Hearts and Minds.Fuck, man. So heavy. Burly shit. Just makes me sad to see those young kids put in that position, trying to communicate with another world, with bullets, muscle and fear. Everyone is scared in that situation. One has to wonder if it's worth it? All of it. Any of it? HIstory tells us it isn't. That's a hard one to have on the mind. I have great respect for those soldiers, cuz that "line of work" is the hardest one going in a scarier and scarier world. Tough stuff. Makes me pretty thankful for the jobs I roll my sleeves up on.- - - -ON THE PLAYER:01. Dolorean - You Can't Win02. Sonics - Fire & Ice03. The Jim Jones Revue - S/T
