When people come together, in groups of any kind, behaviors arise.  Factions form.  Egos clash.  And people act out – in ways both good and malicious.

It’s been a while, but wanted to call attention to some work that I think deserves some recognition.  Now, it is not the most current, as this has been out for a few months, but it is timely in that it is playoff time in the NBA.  Oh, and did I mention that our Dallas [...]

Just back from Iconosphere 2011 the annual event focused on better understanding consumers and put on exclusively for Iconoculture clients.  Here’s a rundown of highlights.

Thought I’d share some new television work we created for a local cosmetic surgery client. This 0:15 spot was created by @gregorylayne and @silvercuellar3 to highlight ASA’s new painless hair transplanting technology.

Unlike most car designs, whose design parameters seem to be about how many decals you can stick all over it, this new Interstate car takes a more conceptual approach. Designed by Firehouse’s very own Everett [...]
