Wow this is one of many events that I wish I could have attended.
Actually forget that. This is one of the two events I would have loved to be at this year.
Did you laugh at Chad Muska’s little bit?
Greg White
Greg White’s portfolio is easily my favorite of recent time.
His work is the epitome of stark, blank and beautiful direct subjectivity. It really reminds me of Andrea Galvani and Patrick Lindell, both of which have been posted here in the past.
I’ve posted quite a few of my favorite but Mr. White has a ton of equally incredible work to view.
Sabine Zschaubitz
Sabine Zschaubitz is a Berlin based photographer and quite possibly a BSB based on two years of dealing with the rare breed.
If I were to briefly sum up and describe her work, which I’m in love with, I’d say babes in nature, babes shot a tiny bit overexposed (it’s sweet) and babes of natural expression.
See more of Sabine’s work or just scroll down for some samples.
Advertising 101: Simple Messages
DDB has teamed up with Hertz to produce these great looking print ads all about their new strategy that I’m positive you’re all aware of; “Traveling at the speed of Hertz”.
DDB has been in the game since it has had its first players.
The problem I see with this campaign, a minor one at that, is the strategy. Not the strategy itself but how the campaign is straying from it.
In the brief the campaign is supposed to promote the Hertz Gold Plus rewards program yet it hasn’t been mentioned.
Will it be one of those faux-free traps in which you get to where you think the deal is but legal copy, signatures and terms & agreements change the price?
Lovely work though. 
Vans DQM Lookbook
Your favorite, my favorite, the Vans DQM has some killer shots from their Spring/Summer lookbook.
If you’re not a fan of it then why are you even coming here?
I’d be enthralled to shoot something this fun and/or cool.
I haven’t called dibs on anything so it’s an open market. Speaking of open markets Facebook’s IPO went official today.
We’re looking at $38.00 shares that you won’t be able to get your hands on, should you though? Absolutely if only early.
Back to the point, the Vans DQM is the headquarters of all things Vans related and new releases. That’s where Perry and I got our hands on and wrapped our iPhones up with the Vans exclusive case. 
Wieden & Kennedy & Nike
The duo has done it again with a great spot.
I highly suggest watching the short through and hell, if you have the time, check out the “tunnels” that are mentioned with a link at the end of the spot.
Augmented Reality Classics
Penguin books has teamed up with the digital engineers of Zappar to bring us an augmented reality version to our favorite classics.
I had to share this with you, I’m in a car in New Jersey. Imagine how bored I am.
Paul Kenton’s Quip of the Week
With these weeks of work winding down, selling all of my shit and packing my bags for good it’s hard to focus.
I’m literally all over the fucking place. For example: today I’m dipping out on life and going to the beach with Jason Dolla, he’s my roommate and one of my best friends leaving for Long Beach, CA on Saturday.
So in spirit I’m placing babes in Paul Kenton’s post just for “spirit”. I’m sure you won’t mind Paul.
“TV Party Tonight!”
To me, there is little that is more annoying than someone who brags about not owning a television. I don’t understand how these people fill the mindless, boring gaps in their life. Surely they’re not goingto libraries, right? Those are just internet cafes for homeless people at this point. But for those of you who are lucky enough to have the gift of basic cable or internet access, there was big, shocking news today: CBS is continuing to put shitty shows on the air. From the network that brought you classics like Two and a Half Men, Mike & Molly, CSI: Fucking Everywhere and That Show About Nerds Doing Nerdy Things, there’s a new show on the block and it’s called Friend Me.
With a plot as dumb as its bullshit Web 2.0 name, Friend Me is literally about two assholes moving from Indiana to LA to work for Groupon. If you don’t know, Groupon is this website that your mom thinks is really revolutionary that basically lets you go to boring things at a discounted price. Get it, guys? Groupon sounds like coupon—fucking hilarious. Apparently, the creative trendsetters at CBS thought that this would be a quirky plot for a quirky show catering to these quirky new young kids. Yet, here’s the thing: this isn’t the first stupid website on which CBS has based a show.
Last year, that cockmuncher William Shatner starred in a sitcom called S#*! My Dad Says based on Justin Halpern’s Twitter account of the same name. The show failed miserably and CBS learned the hard lesson that you need to base your television shows on more obscure/useless/irrelevant websites to get the kids interested. On top of the dumbass setting, the writers also threw out this intricate plotline in the pilot description: “Twentysomething best friends, Evan and Rob, move from their hometown of Bloomington, Ind., to Los Angeles to begin their exciting new lives working at Groupon. Evan is having trouble breaking his old slothful habits and rather than go out after work to explore L.A. and meet new people, prefers to play online poker with his buddies back home. Rob has different plans and is determined to drag Evan, kicking and screaming, along with him.” Jesus, Evan and Rob sound like a couple of real characters. Evan’s such a rascal!
I don’t expect every show on television to be Arrested Development or Freaks and Geeks, but is it too much to ask that these networks just try to do something slightly interesting? This year we have a constant stream of awesome with Game of Thrones, Bob’s Burgers has some of the funniest writing I’ve ever heard and Mad Men is about to wrap shit up in some crazy sweet way, I’m sure. Television is a relevant platform for writing and entertainment, so why are some of the biggest networks taking a giant shit all over it? Let’s get better, guys, we could do cool things. Also, let’s all just collectively decide to ignore Ashton Kutcher, ok?
