Wandering around

YO!
I've been here for 2 weeks now, and I gotta say it's pretty awesome. Works going good, but that isn't what this post is about. It's about rad stuff that I find while I wander around this crazy city.

We got a cat. He's part tiger. He likes to have his belly rubbed, so I believe he may also be part dog.
I like taking pictures of crazy machinery.
Case in point.
The San Francisco Chocolate Factory. Pretty sweet mural. I wonder if the food is good?


This graf was a part of an alleyway full of awesomeness. I will have to go back and document it all for another post.

This record store had a Tron videogame. And...

A Master P doll. UUUUUUUUUUUHHHH!

See ya!

WELCOME BAAAAAACK!

Hey!

So, if you couldn't tell, you were supposed to sing the title of this post (so if you didn't... give it a try... no worries, I'll wait).

Awww yeah!

Anyway, no more silliness! I wanted to drop a few photos down here to let you guys in on what I'm up to.

As you know, I just started work at AKQA in SF. Today was my first day— actually, today is my first day (I may still be here). Here are some shots:

Nice view from the train on the ride in.

No turning back now.

They got me. View from my desk.

'AWWW, flowers?! For me?'

This piƱata is my new buddy. I am gonna work on making human friends at some point, as well.

Team Xbox plays madd Halo at the end of the day. I may go down there and get stomped for a while. Eventually, I will get better and begin to crush them. This is my destiny.

*Note that the dust that has accrued in the lens of my camera gives these shots a nice 'vintage' effect. Or maybe it's just a crap camera. IDK

Onward...

HIYO!

Sorry for the no post, but I have been getting things in order with school, etc.

Quick Announcement:

My school career is officially over. I was slated for one more quarter, but instead I will be moving to San Francisco and starting the next leg of my life as a junior designer at AKQA. I am extremely excited. The Daily Hat is coming with me to the left coast, so continue to check it out every week or so. Gonna grab a nice camera and try my hand at taking some shots. Also, I am about to start illustrating a graphic novel with a copywriter from school, so look out for that, too.

I'll leave you with this video done by none other than AKQA for Nike.

Funny-ass Anti-World Cup Ad

This is one of the spots MTV made against the World Cup. I love this kind of humor, so I share it with you!

Life without Craftsmanship

From Scholz & Friends for the German Federation of Craftsmen. Craft is something I am constantly trying to improve, so this was doubly awesome. Plus you gotta love videos that reward you for watching the credits (SPOILER ALERT!).

Enjoy

I'm still alive!

Hey guys sorry for the no-post over the past 2 weeks or so, my life has suddenly gotten very crazy. Just spent the last week in NYC going to all sorts of amazing agencies and showing my work. If you are interested in what my portfolio looks like, jet on over to www.seanpmatthews.com Changes are sure to be made over the next few months as I finish school up.

YOU ROCK!

Polls are Now Closed!

And it's hipster in a landslide! So expect to see the glorious dude soon. Unfortunately, Hipster was the one choice that I offered, so no one wins any cool prize...

Next time more people should offer ideas so I don't have to fill the remaining spots!
