The Lost Art

The Lost Art with TJ Guzzardi from Fuel Tank TV on Vimeo.

I moved to Los Angeles. I thought it would be different, but man, it really is. It's quiet here. And the last few mornings I have been awakened by the sound of birds chirping, instead of ambulance sirens.

So far so good though. I've always wanted to live in California. Check.

These Girls.

I may be a bit behind on this. Blame it on my age, okay, I'm not THAT old. I stumbled upon these girls' YouTube channel (They're called Jayesslee), and spent a good hour going through their covers and videos. They're good, man.

25 million views? Holy Jesus. *Aaaaand....Here's another:

Happy Ending.

Listen.

Music Monday (I lie. It's music day everyday.)

Before I head to bed, a goodie:

And some memorable commercials I've seen recently, just for good measure:

Give Me Some Sugah

I'm jumping on the bandwagon. Whatever, man.

This very simple, humble man was MADE to be a musician. It's in his bones.

For kicks, I searched for his tour dates here in the U.S. of A., New York City to be exact, and of the 3 shows he will be playing, they are completely sold out. Touché, Rodriguez, touché.

Searching for Sugar Man, it's good, I promise.

Mad Women

A list of some admirable women in advertising...

Throbbing.

Every friday should begin with a damn good song. I realize it's noon, but I got my wisdom tooth yanked last night and took an amazing sedative that has worked wonders.

Enjoy this while I ponder - mashed potatoes or apple sauce for lunch?

Two-Thousand Thirteen

We're a week into the new year. I spent Christmas in Miami but rang in a very cozy New Years in New York.

We had a wonderful time introducing A Little Beast to the world at the Brooklyn Night Bazaar and sharing our space with the amazing PinkyPunk. What an amazing turnout! I'm sure we'll be doing this again soon.

Happy 2013! Here's to greater things ahead.

A Little Beast

Am proud to announce my new project: A Little Beast, a collaboration with the very talented Rubén Salavert. Tons of ideas in the works. Stay tuned for good stuff, and good stuff only. By the way, we'll be at the Brooklyn Night Bazaar on Dec. 8 and Dec. 15 (Saturdays).

I will never get sick of this campaign. Stay thirsty, my friends.

Let's move!

Good cause. Let's all move to Maricopa.

Simplicity

A nice exercise by Antrepo. Breaking down a design to its bare minimum definitely helps to decide what's necessary and what's not. Click here for more.

Because every ending is a new beginning...

Cutting and Pasting.

Got my hands dirty this weekend and made some collages, the old fashioned way. And boy, they were fun to make.

Be Realistic.

Pen and watercolor.

New website!

Finally, I have a new website that will be easy for me to update on a regular basis. It's a good day.
