GREEN GRAFFITI!!!

These guys are colleagues here in Amsterdam that have a very very cool marketing company watch the link below for a demonstration - don't worry, most of it is in english ;)

Basically, they use templates and a high-powered cleaner (street cleaner, something of the like) and create and image on the street!  it is "reverse graffiti", earth-friendly, and clean!  depending on the area, the image can last from 2 weeks to 7 months depending on the traffic!  In some cases, they will come back in a few weeks time and clean the whole street so that it can be 'fresh' from the marketing.

We are partnering with them for our Reckoning projects, future projects and a clean air campaign coming up here in the Netherlands in october. their work is great, they are really wonderful and exciting guys to work with and we are excited about the possibilities in the future!  check them out, hire them yourself, spread the word!

blogging-a-go-go

hi there all :) 

it has been a nutty summer and i have learned that i have to be keeping this thing up everyday - yes, yes, this is something that most people understand, and i 'got it' before, but now i 'get it'. now that i am a bit more established here in Amsterdam, life is taking off, getting businer, actually feel like i live here and am not getting kicked out of the country anytime soon, i need to be on top of this thing. so, more updates and i hope that there are still those of you that read this :) please check my picasa page at www.picasaweb.google.com - all my pics are updated, and there are little taglines that lead you through the story of things that have been going on, with people and all that good stuff.   that will be the easiest way to get caught up for the moment :) there are some other blogs that will be coming out from me soon, so i will keep you on the horizon for that :)

peace out
