Careful Where You Step!!

An image of the sidewalk stencil promoting the TRUE message campaign at CUNA Mutual --

The chalk is made from 100% recycled material enriched with organic fertizlizer (winterizer for Fall Months) and does not harm humans or animals. It's call GREENFITTI*

* None of that is true but it really sounds cool.

Coming soon, to a fridge near you

Pepsi (and Mountain Dew and Sierra Mist) has a new logo/redesigned look.

Maybe now I won't always mistake Elizabeth's afternoon Pepsi Max for a beer.

Meet the Millennials

This is a snapshot of tomorrow.
And tomorrow is today.
(Man, that's trippy).



Seriously, the new marketplace will not star Dennis Hopper.
And we, as an agency, better be prepared to deal with that fact.

Friendly Friday Afternoon Competition

W&B hosted an official Pumpkin Carving Contest last Friday, in the spirit of all that is evil, bloody, slapstick, and/or mildly disturbing.

Thanks to our "Celebrity Judges" Nancy, Christy, and Darin! A wild afternoon was had by all. Well... especially some people*.

* Certain contest winners were especially amused.

When is evil cool?

Amazing Creative from Bank of New Zealand -- Oink!

Managing Bits—er....Humans

I ran across this site for a book written by an engineer, about managing people. If the website intro is any indication, the stories contained in the book are probably pretty insightful. As illustrated in this entertaining intro, half the battle in all lines of work and life is admitting what we don't know...and then doing something about it.

But know in advance that there is no baby Jesus

Did anyone watch this on PBS?

Craaaaazyyyyy people obsessed with their ferrets. I suppose at least they are not furries...

Arg, meetey!

...as my son Leo likes to say. 826 is a unique organization that endeavors to inspire creative expression amongst those ages 6-18. The short story is that the space they were using for the original 826 chapter was zoned for commercial use, which led them to setting up a fictional retail store front for pirate supplies. These retail stores(now in New York and LA also) have lent themselves to great design and creative thinking for designers and visitors. The 826 Valencia store just received a pro-bono, full-blown new identity, covered in this Brand New story.

This kind of insanely cool shit is the exact kind of thing we could and should do under the WBe Ferret flag in the future...just as places like Coudal have done with a little entrepreneurial spirit. The Pissed Ferret steins, posters, etc. Lets dream big, and help our fuzzy friend be all he can be.

Below is the TED talk by Dave Eggers about the 826 concept:

Looks like I need to pick up a copy of Burnout Paradise.

Brown Acid

The brown acid that is circulating around us is not specifically too good. Uh, it's suggested that you do stay away from that, course it's your own trip, so be my guest, but, uh, please be advised that there is a warning on that one ok?

To give credit where it is due. My brother sent me an email with that statement in regards to this commercials.

Bloody Brilliant.

Lots of new blood in the office, so I thought it might be a good time to throw up some required viewing—integral to the always-devolving WBe creative culture. For those who have seen this, it's always prudent to get a refresher.

How anyone could watch this, and not see that Ricky Gervais is clearly a genious, unmatched in his time, is totally beyond me.

Happy Friday!

My favorite video from back when "MTV" meant "Music Television."

Regardless of party, this is smart political marketing.

Ohhhhh Judy

The second SNL skit was even funnier.

Desperately needed for WBe Drinking...err...THE PISSED FERRET!

Logo Etched pint glasses.
This style is called "Nonic." The ridge makes for easy holding and stacking (and is just a little cooler looking than the flat sided version).

Rock me, Amadebateus!

Give me a beat!

Yes, this sets the bar for my sense of humor.

Just 'cause this provides me never ending joy

Call it "Parotire." Or may "Satody."

This is the definition of parody—and satire—all at the same time.
