Creativity as Told by Pixar
Okay, so where am I? I’m preparing for the annual father’s day trek to the new Pixar release. Only a couple of days away and I’m wondering if this will be the annual pilgrimage of sibling fighting that I have to referee or if my kids (now adults) will stop bickering long enough to make […]
First World Problems: Wearing Jeans with a Sport Coat
Okay, so where am I? I’m standing in front of my closet pretending to be choosing what to wear when I am really wondering why Roseanne Barr didn’t call me ahead of her Ambien tweet that got her rebooted hit TV show booted off of ABC. I mean…saying you didn’t know someone “was black” is […]
Pimping Out Atlanta
Okay, so where am I? I’m out on vacation from my 60 hour a week marketing gig working my other media job that I can only do when I’m on vacation. Good thing my 60 hour a week career has a liberal time-off policy akin to the countries of France and Brazil. Ah, the things […]
Workspaces: My Office
Okay, so where am I? Where else would I be but at the office, where I spend 60 hours of every non-vacation week. I am trying to get that inspiration for, not only that new campaign that’s due on Friday, but also that mysterious new commercial campaign for Smokey the Bear. My cluttered office and […]
Pantera: The Art of Sculpting Fog
The de Tomaso Pantera. Around $10,000.* In Italy, men build cars with passion. One of them is Alejandro de Tomaso. And this is his car. Pantera. ————- The evolution of the print ad is something that deserves its own dissertation (I am sure there are many) and today too much copy scares away even the […]
Seriously: The Best Places to Eat in Poland Right Now
Okay, so where am I? Move over, Paris. Get a taste for one of the most surprising food destinations on Earth: Poland. This European nation is located at a geographic intersection that connects the forested lands of northwestern Europe to the fertile plains of the Eurasian frontier and sea lanes of the Atlantic Ocean. It […]
Managing Creatives
Okay, so where am I? I’m still recovering from the red carpet at the Oscars. Every year, for seven straight years, the photographers pit takes a little more from me. This year I may have brought back the flu bug from either the hundred or so camera clickers or the one of the beautiful people […]
Backstage at the Oscars: 2018
Okay, so where am I? I’ve been a little fidgety because the Oscars seem so late this year. I mean I can’t recall the last time the show was as late at March 4th. But today is where my dreams soar while I settle into my spot on the red carpet (which as you all […]
Oscars Week 2018: My Picks
Before I get to my picks I need to pat myself on the back. Since I started covering the Oscars seven years ago, let it be noted my picks have been correct to the tune of 45 out of 53 in the major categories! At 84.9%, that warrants a regular trip to Vegas or London […]
Rhythm Nation
Okay, so where am I? I took a break from the org chart and strategic planning to try and get some Taylor Swift concert tickets for the kid’s graduation. It seems to a traditional to send the kid and her BFF to a Taylor Swift concert during graduation season. Last time is was at Staples […]
