Back to work

So I started work this past Thursday at The Collaboratory, an Omnicom division that started up from their agency, RAPP. The purpose of The Collaboratory is to provide the client (in this case, HP’s Technology Services Group) with a single, world-wide agency for World, Regional and Local marketing, in order to bring economies of scale to their advertising budget, as well as culturally relevant marketing to individual markets. Right now, it’s an extremely new organization, their are parts of it that are already in place, essentially all of Omnicom’s various world-wide agencies are theoretically at our disposable during this transition period while HP and Omnicom gear up to implement this new process. I shan’t say too much, I’m sure a lot of the ideas behind either the campaigns or relationships with partner agencies are not publicly known yet, so this is another short post…

Work…

Thanks to Luis Perez of Winter Wyman, referred to me by Bruce Epstein, I will be starting a contract-to-hire position soon. I’ve signed the documentation, and am gearing up for the first day of work since December 31st,  this Thursday.

Obama version 0.2

Still trying to figure out how to draw Obama. With so many caricatures of him all over the place now, it’s hard to not be influcnced. I stayed away from political cartoons for a couple of weeks and only used picture reference for this sketch.

ObamaI’m struggling with his hairline and his eyes, I need to find a bigger picture of his eyes, and I just have to figure out how to physically represent his hair/hair-line in a drawing. Surprisingly, I’m having a hard time with his hair-line, invariably, with his high forehead, I either make him look like he has a receding hairline, or else he’s not as closely cropped as the real person. Well, I think at least this is better than my first attempt. I should get better as long as I don’t procrastinate too much.
