With the economy in shambles and the media preaching fear like it’s their job, shit’s gettin’ crazy. One thing to be on the lookout for this holiday season… clients. They come wearing many disguises, talking big game, and spewing all sorts of… well, often just spewing. So, here’s a little tip to all the idependent professional creatives out there, when they(clients) feel compelled to tell you just how deep their pockets are - odds are they’ve got short arms. That’s it. Deep Pockets - Short Arms. Heard that one from a buddy the other day, and it couldn’t be more dead-on. Take it or leave it. Just be on the lookout for anything remotely resembling a baby seal wearing high-end denim. It’s probably not what it seems.

I love that Jamie Hewlett is getting such amazing work right now. His work on Gorillaz really got everyone’s attention, but comic book nerds have known his awesomeness for some time. These monkey king characters are taken from an opera that Jamie worked on with Damon Albarn. I really wish I could have seen it.
