Hot Wax

Want to get the coloring urge out of your system? Pokemon not going to satisfy you, then you need to get your hands on this more adult themed coloring book by Tyson Mcadoo. Not exactly sure who needs this but the art is stellar, worth picking up.

Dynamic

Love this art. Highly technical, timely, and has a sense of humor, not to mention scale. The new work of artist Chen Wenling.

Get the Work You Want

On my drive home tonight, I saw a handwritten message taped to a stop sign. It read: Garage Sale. Buy our stuff so we can eat.

Damn.

The world seems out of whack these days, and many creatives feel stuck in neutral.

ADCD takes this to heart as we believe all creatives deserve a creative life. With that, a good number of our board members and close friends to our club congregated to pump out this whimsical little read.

Get the Work You Want is a friendly reminder of the little touches we need to progress. Network. Stay organized. Propsect. Fine advice from some of Denver’s finest talent: copywriter Jordan Sher, illustrators Shaw Nielsen, Jarrod Wheaton, Ali Colby, Steve Schader, Sarah Bergman, Liz Richard, and Paul Vismara.

Download it here, please.

Well It's About Damn Time!

The Best Local Work will be showcased on September 26th @ the Brown Palace starting @ 6:30 pm. 

RSVP now to secure your spot for the Show. Don't forget to bring a wheelbarrow to haul all your new hardware home!

Along Came a Spider

Oh, you tease us with cool spiders on famous English buildings and tell us to wait, "It'll be spectacular" you say. I for one will wait, and expect spectacular. Because you apparently know how to build wonderful automated creatures, surely you won't underwhelm me with less than specatcular. BBC

Introduction: Lee Reedy Fine Art

Hey, you already knew Lee Reedy is a staple in the Design/Advertising Community. What you may not know is he has a much more traditional art side. Don't believe us, thats your choice, but I'd still head on over to www.leereedyfineart.com and see what some of us do in our spare time. You may even discover some of us have spare time.
