Take Risks, Break Rules, & Kick Ass

We focus a lot on the final creative or final execution.  I thought it would be interesting to go backstage and share a talk that San-Fransicso based artist and freelance creative Ivan Cash gave at 72U (the in-agency university at 72 & Sunny). It’s a 30 minute talk but it’s worth a look if you have time.

A short movie to inspire your upcoming week

In the Fall is a short, hand drawn animation that shows a man accidentally falling off a tall building. As the man falls his entire life quickly flashes before his eyes. Steve Cutts’ super idea and execution is amusing and insightful. It’s a beautiful melancholic short film, a great reminder we should never lose perspective and get trapped into work. Read more…
