This sign, in a local merchant’s booth, says “Love all, serve all. Help ever, hurt never.”
Good advice, not just for business, but for life.

Chick-fil-A is Insane
I create brands, logos, slogans. And as a professional, I think this lawsuit that Chick-fil-A has brought against a small t-shirt silkscreener is insanity. Do you think a t-shirt that says “Eat More Kale” could possibly be confused with their “Eat Mor Chikin” campaign? Last time I checked, chicken was not a vegetable. Does Chick-fil-A even sell vegetables? Maybe their lawyers don’t know what kale is. Maybe their lawyers just needed to increase their billable hours…

Obey and Obama – the artist behind both
I always wondered about the origin of the “Obey” stencils around Boston. Now I know — the graffiti artist, who also did the Obama “hope” poster, has a show at the ICA now. He’s also being sued by the AP for basing his Obama poster on a photo they own the rights to, and the Boston police have arrested him for illegal street graffiti. Hmm, artist or criminal? Theft or fair use?
