Live and learn gentlemen, live and learn.
This is a wonderful bit of “truth is funnier than fiction” from writer/film maker Jason Headley. So simple and so good.
Well done, sir.

So true.
I came across this book, The Prophets of Smoked Meat and it set my mouth to watering. It’s a tour of the tastes, textures and techniques of some of the best barbecue that Texas has to offer.
Now, I grew up in the South. Virginia to be exact. Which put me in close proximity to some of the best North Carolina bbq you could ever want. Vinegar based sauces. Mustard based sauces. To me, that’s what great barbecue was. Read more
I have to say, this is pretty cool. Here’s the link to the auction.
The SS Politician was an 8000-ton cargo ship owned by T & J Harrison of Liverpool. It left Liverpool on 3 February 1941, bound for Kingston, Jamaica and New Orleans with a cargo including 28,000 cases of whisky. The ship sank near the island of Eriskay in the Outer Hebrides, off the west coast of Scotland, and much of the wreck’s cargo was salvaged by the island’s inhabitants. The story of the wreck and looting was the basis for the book and film Whisky Galore!
In 1987 professional diver Donald MacPhee, from South Uist, found eight bottles of whisky in the wreck. He sold them at auction and walked off with £4000. Read more
Heros who serve the community meet community service.
This campaign is a follow up to the first work we broke for these guys. The idea is to continue to drive home the hard work and determination these young girls put into becoming great athletes and cheerleaders. Enjoy.
This should probably be filed under “better late than never”, but it’s worth mentioning that we’ve picked up a couple of great new clients recently. Blackmon Mooring and Service King.
These guys are a very interesting company. Started in 1948 as a furniture and dye company, they have evolved to become specialists in two main areas: Residential carpet and air duct cleaning, and large scale catastrophic clean-up and restoration. On the residential side, they’re state of the art and bring a level of service that really goes above and beyond. It really is what sets them apart. On the catastrophic side, these are they pros who cleaned up much of the World Trade Center and the Pentagon after 9/11. They cleaned up after hurricane Katrina. They even cleaned up the airplane that landed in the Hudson (shout out to Scully!). They do this kind of thing all over the world and are the best at it. We are very excited to be able to tell their story to the world.
One of the best in the collision repair industry, Service King adds a human touch to painful process. Because of their reputation, they are growing like crazy. Our task is to evolve the brand to be relevant to people outside of their home market and to make sure people know what they can expect when they bring in their banged up car. It’s a great opportunity on a great brand. New work should be breaking in the next couple of months.
I’m really proud of the work we put into landing each of these clients. Smart thinking and a team effort all the way around.
It’s been a busy month or so but now a lot of that hard work is starting to have something to show for it. This is a fun new campaign for the Dallas Farmer’s Market and their Snap program. This program aims to help people make healthy choices and provide easy, affordable access to fresh fruits and vegetables. These posters and ads will start popping up in the Downtown area over the next couple of weeks.
Kids have a way of getting right to the point, no?
Call me cynical. Call me jaded. But it’s not often that a commercial genuinely surprises me.
