In 2007 I wrote about the No Anorexia Nolita campaign. The woman who modeled for the campaign was named Isabelle Caro and she died less than two months ago from the disease. I’ve just read that her mother has recently committed suicide because of the guilt she felt for putting her daughter in the hospital. This is [...]

Tricks of the Eyes
I saw this billboard and thought to myself: How’d they do that? Maybe you figured it out instantly and I was having a dumb day, but it took me reading that they cut roller shaped parts out of the board, so no matter what colour is behind it, they match. Quite clever in my book [...]
Advertising is the new black
Have I used that headline before? First it was doctors, then lawyers, then detectives, then crime scene investigators. Now, it’s AdMen. A modern day take on the world of being an advertising creative is coming to our screens. Well, America’s screens, so we just have to hope we get it and they like it. If [...]

Because I'm built like a Honda
Backyard, Home, Texas Originally uploaded by Darcie. As in I can’t help but follow my dreams… I’m a dreamer, always been my downfall and almost gotten me in a few car wrecks as well. I am in my last week at my current j.o.b. Ironically (not really), I’m not being paid for this week – [...]
Will Work For (creative) Work
BehindTheBlogOriginally uploaded by Darcie. As I have mentioned before, I am an avid reader of Simon “Scamp” Veksner’s blog. Specifically what Scamp writes and not that of all those “Anonymous’” too scared to admit to their own opinions, although, I must admit, in SOME cases, I can see why. But ALL the time?! Grow some [...]
