Awesome Illustrator

Although I work in digital, it's still necessary at times to present illustrated storyboards and graphics. This coupled with the fact that I like to sketch (doodle!), I'm always looking out for great work. Kevin Kobasic is one of the best I've ever seen. I love his style and think each piece captures mood and tone perfectly, as well as being instantly evokative. Check him out here.

The Plaid Nation Tour

The Plaid Nation Tour has hit the road. Darryl Ohrt, author of Brandflakes for Breakfast and "Band Manager" of one of New York's most sought after agencies, is off on the annual road trip. Their aim is to meet the people behind the brands and to get an insight into what they want, what their customers want, and how Plaid can deliver it all.

PlaidNation describes itself as, “a rolling celebration of creativity and a demonstration of social media in action. It's a Plaid van driving through the country meeting creative, marketing, brand and internet workers, and sharing Plaid love”.

If you want to check it out, the tour is broadcasted on plaidnation.com; they have three live video streams, a GPS tracker and a Twitter stream.
