take pride in your work

I’ve completed the identity and printing for American Pride Landscaping.
A big thanks goes to Erik for being a great client (and now friend). I’m glad he let me have some fun with the back of the card.
The name of his business made a whole lot more sense when I discovered that he flies a C-5 Galaxy for the U.S. Military. You could say he’s just a little bit brave.

go cry about it

I was recently asked if The Combustion Chamber (and it’s offspring – Daily Exhaust), had plans on going green.
The answer?
No.
For the record, The Combustion Chamber (TCC) will continue its proven, 4-stroke cycle to success.
This being said, TCC has and will continue to explore alternative fuels as a means of adapting to the changing landscape. TCC prides itself on it curious and exploratory nature and will adapt and modify it’s surrounding engine system, depending on the terrain, climate and a multitude of other external factors and environmental conditions.
Some of the greatest moments in technology and engineering history has been those times when old technologies are perfected, long after new technologies have replaced and antiquated them.
…we will aways be combusting.
…over and over and over again.
*on a related note, I think Analogue has similar audio and media sentimentals, but you’l have to ask them.

He will be in the middle of a maneuver …and have the whole thing collapsing on him …and somehow, in the center of that disaster, he will make something else out of it completely which becomes art.

I don’t go to movies to see unbiased fact. I go for fantasy, humor and excitement. A 60 year old Rocky fighting a young champion? Sure, why not?
I think there’s other guys out there like me that are like Pavlov’s dog when it comes to Rocky – all you need to see are those training sequences and hear that theme song and you get PUMPED!
It’s not even a conscious decision I made.
