Jaguar starts new in house agency in Los Angeles.

Hmmm. This in house automotive ad agency thing is happening again. Hyundai started Innocean a few years ago. And now, according to Adage.com, Jaguar Cars is taking its estimated $100 million global advertising account away from Euro RSCG Worldwide and moving it to a newly created agency called Spark44. Rumour has it Spark44's offices will be in Los Angeles.

@Olukai rocks my world.

Apparently this righteous booty was inspired by the ranchlands of the Big Island. It's tough, it's cool. It's good looking. The Kamuela booty is sure to be a hit on the mainland. Shaka bra!

You thought Olukai was just an expensive flip flop company?

Heck no. They make super premium sandals made from the finest materials. And they are not only stylish but extremely comfortable. So now they are rocking a line up of uber hip shoes, slip ons and boots. These are so fine, I am going to have to buck up and get myself a few pairs. Nice job Bill, nice job.

Dubstep video that really blew some minds.

Designing logos can be a tricky job.

Nate Williams creates mural for Coffee Bean store in Hollywood

Super cool illustrator Nate Williams created this fifty foot mural for The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf's Hollywood store. Located on the corner of Argyll and Sunset, right in the heart of Hollywood, this mural adds color, vitality and some brilliant images to the soffit of this store. At night it illuminates the patio and projects out to the street, creating an funky glow that draws people in to the store. The concept of the mural is the story of Hollywood, from aspiring actresses to King Kong and the Sunset strip. Nate's primitive style uses clever "cut-out" imagery and twisting and turning patterns. His use of color and shapes reminds me of Picasso's wood block prints. To book Nate contact art@magnetreps.com (866) 390-5656
