Go read the rest.

As long as the pendulum swings, I’ll have work.

It was great working with someone who so thoroughly understands what I need in order to make the post-work perfect. P.S. Props to Pure for getting the advertising mentioned in the news on all three networks, all the local papers as well as the WSJ and NYT. Amazing bit of PR, that.

    More than a little bit cool. I haven’t been able to find out if this is VFX or real. I know it isn’t really Bruce. Anyone know the answer?

Retoucher Pascal Dangin’s comments were placed in the wrong context on the New Yorker website, and a bunch of people are jumping up and down claiming that the photos were retouched. (The New Yorker profile, by the way, is quite amusing. The writer, Lauren Collins, seems inexperienced, in love with Dangin, and gullible. “He has been known to work for days tinting a field of grass what he considers the most expressive shade of green.” Puh-leeze!

    The real story, parts one and two, is available on the AdAge website.

    Why do so many assume that the bad or unpleasant is the truth?
