Careerbuilder Ad Mentioned in Ad Week:
Mark Dolliver's Takes: Going Out to Movies, Praising Children, Etc.
By Mark Dolliver
When a worker leaves one job to take another, money is often the motivation. But some people make such a move in order to escape from their dreary co-workers—even if they'll end up amid a new batch of dreary co-workers. An eye-catching campaign for CareerBuilder.com plays on the downside of office society as it offers a sort of field guide to one's more useless colleagues. The "office chameleon" featured in the ad at upper right is one of "the most elusive of the office creatures," disappearing "whenever work arises" and deftly "deflecting blame for any mistakes onto unsuspecting interns." (The interns have doubtless been making their own disastrous mistakes.) The ad offers advice on how to get this person out of the way for a little while so you can quietly log onto CareerBuilder.com and "find a better job." Chicago-based agency Cramer-Krasselt created the campaign.
Here is a link to the actual article: Mark Dolliver's Takes
New Artwork-New Portfolio!
I just finished a new artwork. It's called "They Lived on Forest". You can see a crappy, pixelated version on the home page, or you can see a larger, clearer version in the "New Works" portfolio. As always, let me know what you think.

Bad At Sports Review
My show at the Schopf Gallery on Lake was reviewed by the bad-assed Podcasters at Bad at Sports (www.badatsports.com ). Go take a listen, the episode is called Bad at Sports Episode 41: Blathering.
It was a generally positive review, even called "adorable" by the usually grumpy Richard Holland. I'd like to thank those guys for coming out to the show.
