Hard work is a waste of time if your idea sucks

Mark Fenske teaches at VCU BrandCenter. He doesn’t post often, and he comes from the grumpy-old-man-in-love-with-the-world school of thought, but these are some great insights about the passions and pitfalls of the trade.

  • Want to be a good writer? Skip work for a ball game.
  • The audience knows you're paid to write to them.
  • Clients will be late for a meeting in their own building.
  • Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid should have gone to Bolivia.

That’s just a small sample.

Fenske also made Van Halen’s “Right Now” video, for whatever that’s worth.

I want your skulls. I need your skulls.

Current follows Ted Riederer’s “St. Antipode”, a suit of armour made from ’86 punk rock vinyl, poised against skulls made from the same year’s Billboard Top 100. Great insights on applying hard work and dedication to your intuition.

Ted’s website offers his statement.

Goff + Rosenthal has the best stills of the show.

Et

Worst Game Ever

This is something I've dreamed of doing, ever since I heard the ET landfill legend. Keith Schofield makes it happen for Wintergreen. Dave dug it up at boingboing .
