Being Elmo.

"There will always people who say 'you might not succeed" or "you won't make any money with that,' all of those things will go away if you really focus on what makes you happy."

- Kevin Clash

Inspiration of the day: Follow your dreams.

Wheel of Concept.

Beng a creative is tough. Tje demand for completely new ideas in little to no time is sometimes...overwhleming. But before you let out a tear for us, Tribal DDB may have solved all of our problems with thewheelofconcept. Go ahead....type in a brand. Spin the wheel. And you get a ready made pdf to present to the client (dont show it to account).

Funny idea, seeing as how this is exactly what the digital space does--sometimes. Ok...most of the time.

Bottle Cap Bling.

So, I have been collecting bottle caps for about a year now. And I have this big plan...to make something with them. Not sure what yet. But when you are at a house party and you get caught scooping beer bottle tops into you back pocket....things can get a little akward. What ever I end up doing, I'm pretty sure it wont be as good as this right here.

The Alexander McQueen Collection 2011

Following the sad and tragic death of designer Alexander "Lee" McQueen, Sarah Burton, who worked alongside the late designer for 15 years, had her work cut out for her when it came to designing the new collections without the namesake. But she did not disappoint. If anything, she added a feminine touch to some traditional McQueen silhouettes and pieces and certainly did a wild and commendable job with the shoes.

Even in the wake of his death, this shit is out of this world ridiculous creativity. See more here. Oh and hey...if you happen to have an extra $1200 lying around, this cardigan is the flyest thing I have seen in a long time.

Helment Fun.

Apparently some PR/Marketing firm in Kazakhstan (the place is real????) had some fun with decals. Interesting stuff.

Only Man. Audio Bullys.

Very cool music video. This is the type of video that makes people want to buy the music. You dont see that alot these days.

A Gift any Creative would love.

"An activity book for designers, art directors and illustrators (anybody who is considering Helvetica or Arial as a child's name)..."

It's difficult to shop for us. I understand. What do you get people who's job it is to make something out of nothing and connect culture on a dailt basis? This.

PS Didnt I make creative types sound super cool and really exclusive in this post? Bing.

Gummi Bear Surgery.

"Gummi Bears live short lives, but that doesn't mean that they don't have health problems and will occasionally need some care. There are times when these delicate bears will even need to go under the knife..."

I love myself some Gummi Bears. And therefore, I love Gummi Surgeries. I would be considered a cannibal in the Gummi Bear Surgeon Community.

Side Note: I wonder what type of insurance plans they use.

What 'Project Runway' Can Teach Agency Creative Directors.

"Make it Work." I will admit that I am a man. Who watches Project Runway. I love the premise of making "something from nothing" under a ridic deadline and then being judged for it. Because, basically...it's what I do for a living. I even followed it to Lifetime (where I see my fair share of Vagina ads). Well, I ran into this little article from AdAge and thought I'd post it here. The simile that the writer makes, I think can be applied to more than just Adlife. No?

The Virtual Choir = I'm Impressed.

A choir....made up of individual youtube videos. Just when you thought you had enough of people's "renditions" of famous songs on youtube....someone organizes them (virtual conducting) and makes the parts equal a whole. Fucking epic. This is a testament to human creativity. Gorgeous.

See the specifics here.

"Poop your fears away..."

By artist Ana Elias

Art is...

"Most people use paintbrushes and other drawing utensils to compose their art on canvases and paper. Cheeming Boey on the other hand, uses a Sharpie and depicts his art on Styrofoam cups. Ever since 2006, Boey started drawing on foam cups as a hobby and has now turned into a serious business. Each cup takes a few hours to several months to create and is sold for hundreds of dollars around the world."

...whatever you want it to be. See more here.
