How to Be a (Really) Good Client

I love this tongue-in-cheek advice on how to be a good client. Read and learn!

Ever have one of THOSE days/weeks?

I’m doing great now but my work week was a little crazy. I saw this and, being a geek, I simultaneously empathized and laughed out loud.

Prime the pump; let the current flow.

I’ve been meaning to post more often but my work schedule is pretty intense right now!

I’ve been working hard getting Grotto Madrid things together (stay posted I should be able to post some sweet visuals pretty soon). I’m working on a couple other projects right now and I hope to give you the 411 on those also. I like staying busy; it’s a good thing.

Don’t let my work load discourage anyone from contacting me! Sometimes the best ideas flow out when the pump has been primed and the current is already flowing.

Close to Home: They’re big in Japan

A while back, Tyler Carbol and I designed the CD packaging for Close to Home’s record “Standby”.

Turns out “Standby” has been a huge hit in Japan. Here is a pic of a display in a Tower Records store in Tokyo.

It’s always great to see your work out in the real world!

P.S. Grotto Madrid is coming along great! We are hard at work and I can’t wait to show you guys a little sneek peek in the next couple of weeks. Check back soon!

Models???

Hey everyone!

My good friend Tyler Carbol and I have started a clothing company called Grotto Madrid. We have been working on this for over a year now and the entire world will get a chance to see what we’ve been cooking up as we launch this October.

We are looking for guys and girls that would be interested in modeling our sweet digs. The pictures would be used in our new website and other marketing pieces.

If you would be interested at all please head over to Grotto Madrid’s myspace and send us a message letting us know that you would like more info.

IF YOU OR SOMEONE YOU KNOW ARE INTERESTED IN MODELING or HELPING US GET THE WORD OUT, LET US KNOW!
(we’re as serious as a heart attack)

Get in on the ground floor:
SPREAD THE WORD – BUY THE CLOTHES – LIVE THE LIFESTYLE

Burton’s Batman vs. The Dark Knight

Look at the similarities between the trailers of these two movies.

Crazy.

Makes you wonder if they did it on purpose.

Thoughts on Success

I hope these inspire you like they’ve inspired me.

“I don’t know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody.”
- Bill Cosby

“Success is not the result of spontaneous combustion. You must set yourself on fire.”
- Reggie Leach

Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.”
- Thomas A. Edison

And finally, one fun passing thought:

“You’ve achieved success in your field when you don’t know whether what you’re doing is work or play.”
- Warren Beatty
