More fun at Anoroc. We needed to break the mold on how local caterers marketed. So this project would be hand delivered only to ‘hand picked’ targets. Here’s a short sample –
It was Milton’s bar mitzvah, but unfortunately Milton had no friends. He had inherited his Uncle Morrie’s halitosis, Aunt Alvina’s lovely bosom and Cousin Josephine’s lazy eye. A sweet lad but Oy-vey who would come to his bar mitzvah?
But Milton’s mom heard about the two trees from her hair dresser Raoul who used to bleach Mabel whose son Ralph was a corker at Big Wine Bottlers where Eric bottles his wine.
Milton’s bash was the hit of the season, and he even got to dance with Betty Bright – the prettiest girl in all of Asheville, with skin like butter. It was an occasion to dine for.

I’ve been designing a lot of blogs lately, and I’m not surprised, since having a blog is the new black in 2010. Having a custom-design blog that matches your brand is just icing on top of the cake. This is a mockup design I did for the Hilton Hotel in Asheville, NC, focusing on green-lodging.

I am a BIG fan of Thierry Mugler. I dig his clothes. I had to be dragged out of his Paris shop, wanted to move in, live there. Here’s connection to what I do every day (besides look great). Mugler is braving a new crowdsourcing campaign positioning ‘The brand is ready to become whatever the users want.’ via Womanity.com launching Monday.
Womanity’s homepage will host community content, (videos, photos, poems) via titling design expressing opinions, creativity of women around the world. Each tile can be assigned a color by visitors and website’s “mood bar” and Womanity logo change color to reflect prevailing mood of the community.
Other content includes short film, shot by Mugler, forums where the community can suggest products, projects that Mugler should pursue. Goal is to ramp up 2 million members in nine months.

Compete’s new January 2010 data shows that Facebook passed Yahoo as the second most popular site in America with almost 134 Million Unique Viewers in January. While those numbers are impressive, the real story is engagement. Time spent on Facebook as a percentage of all time spent online each month increased over the past year, while both Yahoo and Google show a decrease. In January, 11.6% of all time spent online was spent on Facebook compared to 4.25% for Yahoo and 4.1% for Google. Time spent on a site is a pretty good metric because it’s an indicator of viewers interest over time. Doubling that measure is quite respectable!

The themes in Audrey Kawasaki’s work are contradictions within themselves. Her work is both innocent and erotic. Each subject is attractive yet disturbing. Audrey’s precise technical style is at once influenced by both manga comics and Art Nouveau. Her sharp graphic imagery is combined with the natural grain of the wood panels she paints on, bringing an unexpected warmth to enigmatic subject matter.
The figures she paints are seductive and contain an air of melancholy. They exist in their own sensually esoteric realm, yet at the same time present a sense of accessibility that draws the observer to them. These mysterious young women captivate with the direct stare of their bedroom eyes.
– Excerpts from Audrey’s bio.
