The World Cup is on, and it's one of those events where anything goes. Champions become losers and former losers become Champions. The United States is often considered the shitty team, yet it's loved by the world because they never give up. They've made it far in this World Cup, defeating international power houses, but nothing gets the people more pumped than the videos that are are put together to hype up the next match. LET'S GO USA!!!!

Now this is just awesome. We live in a society driven by labels, "you do this like so and so" and "you do that like so and so." Here's a great ad by the Always brand on what exactly it means to do things "like a girl." People are just ignorant. I hope they take this ad and explore it deeper. 

Who would have thought that gum can make you look friendlier... That's exactly what this experiment focused on. They took identical twins, gave one of them gum, and then the public was asked questions. The results were amazing. I should probably chew more gum! : )

I recently got the opportunity to design a poster for a pet parade in St. Johnsbury. It was quite ironic because I've never been a dog person! I'm afraid... but hey! why not? So I did it. Vermont is known for the famous wood carvings and children's books illustrations of Stephen Huneck. 

At first, I wasn't too thrilled about the first poster, but then i was told that it would have been great if it had the Stephen Huneck theme since Dog Mountain, the place he started was a major contributor and had allowed to used some of their imagery. Of course I'm told this after the first poster is done and not during the first meetings...yay! 

So I went back to the drawing board, and started looking at several illustrations of Stephen and began drawing. The theme was also the Olympics, so I had to incorporate that into the mix. Hey! the dog stole an olympic ring!

I've always been a big fan of anamorphic illusions. I still haven't been able to do one myself! These guys, however took it to the next level by having their entire music video full of them. Love it!
