cube grenade: the escape pod

4 Comments

My old adver­ti­sing buddy, Vinny Warren, com­mis­sio­ned me to draw him a ‘Cube Gre­nade’ for his Chicago-based ad agency, The Escape Pod.

“We are not in the adver­ti­sing busi­ness, we are in the decom­mo­di­fi­ca­tion busi­ness” is a line of mine that Vinny has been borro­wing for a while now. So it see­med appro­priate to design something around that.

     decom­mo­di­fi­ca­tion. it’s like what nike did for shoes. it’s like Frank Per­due did for chic­ken. snea­kers became “nikes”. chic­ken sud­denly had a pre­mium brand where none exis­ted before. that sort of thing.
