The oil painting potrait.

So this last July we helped out our sister TBWA office, agency.com in Shanghai, with a project. We gave them the source code of a very nice inter office web app. We helped them install it and they told us they were sending a thank you gift. They asked us to send over a picture of the LA team for an oil painting. We emailed them the photo and forgot all about it. Last Monday I get a message from the mail room that there is a big freight package for me. I pick it up, lug it over to the back, and open it up.

It is a fucking masterpiece! This made my week! I didn’t know that oil adds 20 pounds to the face.

I’m the one at the far left btw, if you didn’t know!

Happy Holidays

So I haven’t posted in awhile, sorry. There has been a ton to write about, but have just been lazy I guess. And even when I do go out and take the camera I would forget to take pictures. Well lets begin the recap.

My brothers birthday was earlier this month. Did the annual dinner at Matsuhisa, hmmmm good, and the next night we met up at the bar at the Figueroa Hotel. Really cool place you guys should check out if you are ever at the Staple Center. Got my drink on and did not take too many photos. I took this one stumbling on the way out.

The next day we headed over to the Norton Simon Museum in Pasadena to check out some art.

Later on in the evening I put up the Christmas lights to my house for the first time ever. Liked how it came out but I also learned a couple things from mistakes. Next year will be dope.

The next weekend I had my company’s Christmas Party. The party this year was at Union Station in downtown Los Angeles. Had this Speakeasy theme and was actually surprised with the number of people that came out dressed up. This was my first Chiat Christmas party and it was good times. My stupid ass forgot to take any pics during the actual party. Sorry!
