His work acknowledges the absurdity of workaday life, while also encouraging employees to respond with passion, creativity, and non-conformity... MacLeod’s work is undeniably an improvement over the office schlock of yore. At its best, it’s more honest, and more cognizant of the entrepreneurial psyche, while still retaining some idealism.

Last year my State of the College address was 76 slides loaded with data. This year it was 14 cartoons that were substantially more memorable.

Maybe the best thing you’ve ever written. This should be your next print.
That only works if you know what you love.
Love this statement. Any chance this could be your next print? I would definitely buy it.
Fucking brilliant, Hugh!
This is really insightful and motivating, thank you for sharing the thought!
Great saying. Thank you! I’ve got to test it myself.
wish I could say the same thing (as your quote).. alas the latter applies.. for now.
I’ll buy that in print form.
Passion is only way to do your best. Do you think people should work doing what they hate? Did you ever work hard doing what you hate? Is it possible to start with just doing what you love, and never do anything else? How does it work for you?
P.S. Your works are great! Thank you.
I think that is the most inspiring thing I have read all month.
