graphic design is basically just like making fine art but you have to justify every move you make 600 times to 55 people for like 6 months.

Ready for a long relaxing weekend I thought, which was quickly derailed by the realization that I'm a dad RIP.

Whether you respond to the design or not, who cares. I love the overall concept and seeing a professional sports team take risk and have fun. Both rare these days in sports design.

UPDATE: I emailed Michael Scott yesterday and CC'd Dwight Schrute and Creed Bratton on the chain and someone from the company replied to tell me that those two people dont work here and that I've made a mistake. This company is so tired of me.

You might not know this but I love Fantasy Football. Been playing for 20+ w/ same buds. I won our Dynasty League last year taking home the RING. Instead of 1 of my non-design buds designing it (PUKE), they surprised me having my designer wife Jessica design it. Look at this baby!

You can't make this up. We're working on a book project currently and the printing co's sales rep, no kidding is named MICHAEL SCOTT. Yes, a Paper/Printing Co's salesman is named MICHAEL SCOTT. It's so special. Doing some research on if his wife's name is Holly more when I know.
