Part of understanding how to provide solutions that work in the real world – is understanding the real world.
The Keystone Design Union is dedicated to continuous travel, visiting new cultures, countries, cities… all designed to expand our Global Design Society and build a first hand understanding of the world we design for and market to.
Too much emphasis is placed on online media. While blogs and sites are an essential parts of modern marketing – by nature anything virtual plays second fiddle to a real world experience. In the coming years we fear that brands that are entirely based online will lose touch with what really connects people and builds real connections.

Introducing the hilarious Comedy Showwaiters
Café Kølbert’s Comedy Showwaiters was established in Denmark in 1985 and quickly rose to cult status, performing all their way up to the Royal Court.
Now with a brand new identity, the Comedy Showwaiters present their London branch, starting with the re-launch of their UK site.
Almost hand-crafted, the site serves as an introduction to the Showwaiters‘ particular universe and dreams.
With a blend of twisted British butler’s tradition and a serious dose of improvisation, always with elegance, the Comedy Showwaiters have served at countless events, dinners, corporate incentives, special moments, receptions and parties and will continue to do so covering great distances by land, see and air.

For ages, anyone thats come by the Laundry! studios has asked me about making skate decks for the masses, and usual me I lagged for ages until now. After months of haggling with production, I managed to squeeze these two out as the start of many. The idea was to play off a Day and Nite them loosely, hence the names of the deck, but really just another avenue to bring my signature lettering and characters to life. As usual, the kdu gets it first, I showed a sneak peak a few weeks back and now these are live for mass consumption on the pkin site.
I had the privilege of collaborating with Justin Maller and David Gensler on a major project for one of the world’s largest sporting events: The 2010 Asian Games taking place in Guangzhou, China.

Todd dropped me a line that the KDU x RYZ collabo would be featured in selected Journeys shoe stores, and he wasnt kidding. Front and center as you walk in was the kdu collabo standing strong. At least in the santa monica store, me, anthony faucheux and mago were repped hard as you will see in particular. Trust and thx to the kdu.

Back in October, Fox News host and habitual shit-stirrer, Sean Hannity took L.A. graffiti artist Saber to task over artwork created as part of Organizing for America’s “Health Care Reform Video Challenge.” In a video titled “Saber Speaks,” the L.A. graffiti writer used the American flag as a visual focal point — painting over it in brief time-lapse footage set to the beat of a hospital heart-rate monitor. (The monitor eventually flatlines, much like the current health care debate.) This, of course, provided Hannity with some much-needed filler for his program. Hannity and conservative cockblocker Michelle Malkin immediately expressed outrage. While Hannity appears to drift off into space (no doubt searching for patriotic inner strength from the music of Lee Greenwood), Malkin, of course, steals the show…
