Another year of fun at Winter Park and another weekend of Crankworx is fastly approaching. Hopefully I will actually go and experience it this year — from the Manley cabin deck.

Saturday, July 24th could be a very big day for you.
One of the most essential talents a creative has to learn if she ever wants to be successful is, the capacity to “Kill Your Babies”. It’s hard at first, but you get used to it…
Another great example on how the power of the internets keeps content alive. This could quite possibly be my new favorite commercial.
Posted in 2007 for LA Animal Services – Director Jane File (seejanedirect.com) absolutely kills it with this one. Simply Genius.
Now I want a dog :)
Congratulations Sammy C for landing the first ever switch triple rodeo 1260. Balls.
The brosive has been hard at work this month getting married and opening two new tattoo shops in Denver.
This is it folks! Tomorrow the doors of P66 Tattoo and Art Galleria will be opening. I have teamed up with Todd Gold of Streamline Hot Rod Parts to bring Denver a unique concept in the world of Tattooing. P66 Tattoo and Art Galleria will be located in Streamline’s 13,000 square foot retail location which was built around a 1950’s Phillips 66 Gas Station (hence the name P66.) This is something Denver has yet to see. I’m thrilled to be sharing it with all of you! Come check out P66 at Streamline’s Annual Hot Rod Party.
The grand opening of P66 Tattoo and Art Galleria is tomorrow – July 18th, 2010. Come and party and check out this very unique location. 22 donated kegs from Coors will be waiting to greet you.
Music is kind of annoying – but this is interesting. David Jon Kassan has some interesting experimental visual research projects.
When was the last time you picked up a homeless guy and brought him into your studio? That’s what I thought.
My cousin sent me this video which is entertaining and comical to watch Rick K play the drums in the background. But why not check out a song that takes some real drumming talent.
Who is this group The Allnighters and where do they play? Imagine if Will Ferrel played drums – sounds like a movie to me.
Apparently… Ben and Jerry’s has also dropped email marketing in favor of social media. Interesting — Full tour to follow.
Sony has a new camera on the block. Available in September for around $2000 the Sony NEX-VG10 is the world’s first interchangeable lens HD consumer camcorder. Good find Mr. Berman.

1. Creativity.
Wieden + Kennedy Portland and Old Spice’s The Man Your Man Could Smell Like, aka Isaiah Mustafa, continue their marathon of manly manliness with more personalized video responses to the brand’s online following. Since yesterday, TMYMCSL has smoldered directly at the unknown and the well-known, including Ashton Kutcher, Mrs. Ashton Kutcher, Gears of War lead designer Cliff Bleszinski, um, yours truly and, in a brilliant meta-manly move, Isaiah Mustafa. He even delivered a marriage proposal, which was eventually accepted.
According to art director Craig Allen, the agency and Mustafa will be continuing the responses through today, so tune into the Old Spice YouTube page to see if Isaiah will single you out and check back here for a Q&A with the team that made it happen.
He also customized videos for a string of celebrity admirers, including Ashton Kutcher, Ellen DeGeneres, Ryan Seacrest, blogger Perez Hilton and Olympian Apollo Ohno.
“Can the Old Spice guy do ads for ALL the world’s products?!” tweeted actress Justine Bateman, echoing the sentiments of enraptured fans everywhere.

3. Head – Andy Murray Street Magic in London, agency: n/a

I’m pretty NOT impressed with this list of virals. We have a couple sellouts here… Rhett and Link did a good job communicating with their audience while pushing a professional commercial out – good job to them. Dude perfect on the other hand I was not so impressed with. EepyBird is somehow still making a living by selling out to sugar water, good for them – at least they are consistent in their delivery.
Overall it just seems like people are trying to damn hard to get it right. If I had to pick a winner – I like the Volkswagen concept, but not the video they pushed out. Sapporo took me on an adventure and Lynx was the only video I continued a click through on — I wonder why.
Until next month – get some strange.
