The Clients Align

I've said it before, and I'll say it again - I'm very lucky to be one of the few who actually get paid to do what they enjoy. Sometimes I still shake my head while thinking I make a living being creative, which is likely something I'd otherwise do in my leisure time.  With that said, there are moments where any creative realizes the footprint they've left behind. One such moment came on a recent visit to the Hard Rock Hotel, in Las Vegas.

While standing in the gift shop, I happened to notice a strange anomaly. I was looking at three, completely unrelated things - and all three things, Eyenovation happened to develop a web site for. Very strange, indeed. The jackets for sale are made by BC Ethic - an upscale men's fashion label based in Vernon, CA. Not too far from them in Orange County is the shop for legendary bike builder - Jesse Rooke. And way in the background is a guitar played by none other than the Goo Goo Dolls. It's a small world, but even smaller when you see something like this.
