My workspace

Plenty of people here at work have commented on my "cubicle art" so I thought I'd share (I love seeing other peoples' workspace, it's kind of satisfying from a voyeuristic standpoint, isn't it?) For me, it's a source of daily inspiration, if not something colorful and busy to look at while I crank out the next creative piece on my plate. It's especially fun being an in-house writer (for the time being anyway) because people from random departments that visit us are not sure what to think of the "weird guy with the wallpaper."

It's a reflection of my boyish and somewhat proudly naive passion for advertising. Is it lame? Maybe. Photocopied from annuals, websites/blogs, Comm Arts, books and magazines, it's a way to absorb great advertising (osmosis, naturally) while hoping some of the brilliance rubs off on me. It also gave me something to do while my computer started up in the morning (usually about 10 minutes, it's old) - it's taken me almost two years to finish it at that rate.

These were all taken today - I didn't get a chance to clean/edit/organize what you see here, so it's truly "natural habitat."



The left side - it's covered with ads, except I've left little squares of fabric to hang clips on. I put my schedules and briefs on that wall. This is my highly functional side.



The middle - plug for my phone, plug for my iPod, headphones. Nerf weapons... eh, don't ask. Pictures of the wife and family, also very inspirational.



The right side - Mountain Dew mini fridge (won it in a sweepstakes last year, wewt), a bunch of plastic bags I need to reuse/recycle, paper for recyling, and my VIP backstage pass/tickets to a recent They Might Be Giants concert.

Want some neat advertising wallpaper for your office or cubicle? Let me know, I'd be happy to make you some if the price is right.

Or better yet, just hire me. :)
