cube grenade case study: rockstar group
Send to Kindle
Mike Walsh commissioned me to draw a “Cube Grenade” for his consultancy, Rockstar Group.
Mike’s company is basically in the business of helping small startups either make or find more money, by whatever means necessary. His website explains all…
Why do people do startups? Because they want to be “rock stars”, or something like that. They have that certain drive– or if they don’t have it, they’re in big trouble. So I tried to create something that empathized with that.
Because the world is theirs’. At least, it’s certainly more “theirs’” than for the people who just turn up every day at the office, with no other reason than the steady paycheck.
Mike was a great client, and fun to work for. He tells me his cube grenade (which he put on the back of his business cards) was a big hit at the recent TED conference. That made my day.
No, it really did…

love the colors, loves the words, love the image.
Wow. I really like this one.
When you do these commissioned works, who writes the taglines? Did you come up with “The world belongs to us …,” or Rockstar Group?
Susan, yep, I write the taglines.
“The world belongs to us …” Yep, that was my idea.
Just trying to get my head around the client’s problem etc… for better or worse.
Thanks!
