So my friend Andrio whom i had met at Seeking was in Portland for a month to do freelance work for Wieden+Kennedy and it was just a coincidence that he was having a group show here too. He invited me to go yesterday and i invited 2 of my other friends from Wieden along.  It was cool seeing all the silkscreen posters….i miss the personal quality of silkscreened work, and for some insane reason, i sort of missed Pratt. Being in an ad agency, alot of the work becomes so impersonal, because it passes through so many hands, and more often than not, the final product isn’t even produced by the same person.
