This is both awesomely inspiring and deeply depressing. All at once.

Love this new spot for the Toyota Camry. I think it’s gonna air during the Super Bowl (i.e. the most wonderful time of the year for TV commercial geeks like moi).

The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore by Moonbot Studios is flipping rad. At 15 minutes, it’s a long video but short film that’s beautifully animated. <3

I am drawn to people with big smiles, brave stories, open hearts and minds, excellent taste, wide eyes, honest laughs…people with courage and character. Original. Glowing. Full flavored, full fat, full of life.

— Me (Read through an old journal and found this little nugget. Still pretty applicable.)

Don’t Yell At Me.

I know, I know. I didn’t update today. But take it easy on me. We’re in pitch mode at work for a HUGE new business opportunity, and I am literally still at work right now (and have worked the last 3 weekends straight). The good news is that I’ve been writing a TON of cool TV and radio scripts, which has been a blast. But, ya know, all this work leaves little time for blogging and Internet browsing. Thanks for your patience! <3 Elyse

Wes Kull loves football. But he doesn’t love their dated, clunky logos (join the club, Wes). So Wes took the initiative and started rebranding all the NFL teams. His site is called the Gridiron League—and boy, oh boy are they GORGEOUS. I would wear ANY of these team’s shirts. Seriously.
