Today I just wrapped up the lecture at AIGA/NY along with John Jay at Weiden and Kennedy and Gordon and Daniel from Surface to Air. The whole thing was put together with the help of Jiae Kim from Theme Magazine. So of course this motley crew had to get together for one shot. The speech went well. I think we could have gone for another 2 hours, but…c’est la vie. I call this entry freestyle, because honestly, we didn’t know what was going on…even up to 15 mins before curtain call. Surface to Air and I just sorta looked at the slide show really quick before going on stage and winged it. I think the audience enjoyed it though.
Two of the best in the biz: Andy Spade (from Jack Spade) and John Jay. Andy said Reed Space was one his favorite stores and he no idea I was the owner of it. That was pretty dope because his store is one of my favorites as well. Awww….Man love.
The view from on stage. Not a good time to get stage fright!
Thanks to everyone that came out.
see, all these rules make you think that things are supposed to go a certain way… when you tell me, you’re improvising at AIGA, i’m thinking… ok, i seen b. grosh from gmunk on fitc and his program wasn’t workin, its a technical error i know, but thats like at the hair show and the girls wig falls off, its ok if you play it off right, in fact it almost raises you to another level if that does happen. unless you’re michael jackson and you are just perfect on stage.
totally saw you there. you guys section was one of the highlights for me. super inspirational.
