Bear With Me (Don’t Worry, He’s Tame.)

obfacebookbanner_2cropped

It has been a CRAZY few weeks for me… Paul came into town, we have like 15 projects on the board, we’ve launched 4 sites and 2 more should launch in the next week or so, plus I haven’t shaved in a REALLY long time.

So good. So tired.

So how bout this – for now go to our Facebook page, catch up, and I will be back with you shortly with more dumb articles, stupid pictures and generally moronic posts.

Cool?

An Otter And A Mannequin Walk Into A Bar…

Just wanted to share with you real quick the most recent site to the OB portfolio.

We recently completed the website design for Sire Records’ piano rock band, Jack’s Mannequin. This is the 2nd project we have had the privilege of working on with our friends over at Warner Bros. Records.

Not to toot our own horn, but we like the marquee audio player the best-est.

Visit the site by going to http://www.jacksmannequin.com

Stay tuned for more projects coming from the WB (minus the whole Michigan J. Frog mascot thing)

The Office Is Done (or, almost…)

Here are the pics of the OB office.

The only thing that is missing is there will be a partition between my office and the Dryve merch stuff… but it’s close.

Enjoy!

NEW Otterball V.6

At long last, I would love to introduce the NEW Otterball.com!

Freakin-A, I Love Art!

You are familiar with drawing and crayons, but Christian Faur is taking a different approach to the medium. He uses hundreds of thousands of individual crayons to produce a single, pixelated image.

Thank you Gizmodo!

Blast From The Past

theboys

I was just in Houston last week hanging with the fam and I came across this.

This is my brother, my pops, and the hot frat guy on the right is yours truly. I’m not sure what is better, the home-brew bleached hair or the scraggly gotee. What do you think?

Oh, how much I would love to tell that kid!

17in 2.33GHz MacBook Pro FOR SALE

MBP

*** SOLD – Wow. ***

Here’s the deelio…

I am getting a great deal on a new computer from my Apple Store workin’ brother and want to hook up one of my friends with a GREAT deal on my current one. It is a 17in / 2.33GHz / 3GB RAM / 160GB HD with CS4, Logic Studio, Final Cut Studio 2 and Aperture 2 installed (full versions / no software). It also has a little over a year left of AppleCare… plus it looks darn cool and has been babied since I got it. If your nice I will throw in a bag and anything else I can find.

If I can sell it to a friend I am willing to let it go for $1500 (I know, crazy)… If I can’t find someone personally I will put it up on CraigsList for more.

The only catch is that it won’t be ready for about a week… I am waiting on my new one and still need to get everything migrated over.

Let me know if you are interested. It is a great computer for a designer / musician / video person… get it while it’s HOT!

Ah, Designers…

Thanks to Joshua Blankenship for posting this gem!
