  • Riff Raff Explains His Tweets - Illustrations by David Vordtriede @stinkyham

    April 11th, 2013 / Comments (0)

    Very fun work by local illustrator David Vordtriede who you might remember from The Muppabet. Riff Raff is off the charts when it comes to creative speech; you fall into a hypnotic lull/stupor as he explains the meaning behind some of his most unintentionally (?) avant-garde tweets. David did a great job of visually representing this admirable insanity with some nice animation work by David Barton.

    David let the Egotist have a sneak peek into his process with a few shots from his sketchbook and storyboards:

  • Site Launch: @CigarWorld by @Moosylvania

    April 8th, 2013 / Comments (0)

    Here's a site that we felt ably handles the current state of affairs with cigar aficionados. The cigar (re)boom that happened about 15 years back is now trying to get on even keel with social media and user-generated content. Cigar World does a good job of trying to capture the interest that still abounds in cigar smoking while keeping it relevant for new generations of stogie lovers.

    Cigar World is designed to be a place where veterans and newcomers can indulge in their passion for premium, handmade cigars. The format of the site gives consumers a space to learn and be social, as well as a place to catch up on, interesting cigar lifestyle content.

    Cigar World also features industry firsts like the Virtual Humidor that allows consumers to digitally track the contents of their humidor, as well as cigars they don't have but would like to try. The entire site was built to encourage the nature sociability of the cigar smoker. From photo sharing to cigar bombing, to the "My Cigarworld" slider which tracks activity since your last vist, every single aspect of the site is designed with social content in mind.

  • STL Writer's Room Opens It's Doors

    April 5th, 2013 / Comments (4)

    If you ask us, there aren't enough writer-specific resources these days. That's why we're completely digging the concept (and photos) of this new "co-writing" building down on Locust by Tap Room.

    STL Writers’ Room is a membership organization that offers area writers and creative types a place to work and collaborate among a community of peers.

    This work space was designed for writers, but works equally well for graphic designers, web designers, etc. It's the perfect alternative for those in need of a quiet space to work. Membership options are very affordable and include 24/7 access to the space, high-speed internet, free street parking, coffee bar/kitchenette, and many other amenities (including invitations to members-only events). Private offices are available upon request.




    At $5 a day for pop-ins and cheaper monthly payments for members, this seems to be a nice, cozy alternative to the other co-working areas around town. The only things that bother us about this are the lack of creativity placed on the branding, logo and website (especially copy). And why must we place an 'STL' anywhere in the name of new/revitalized concepts these days?

    Okay, our rant is done. Get out there and support this place:

  • Help Has a Name: @MayorSlay - @AnastasisFilms

    April 4th, 2013 / Comments (0)

    Here's a video victory lap for Mayor Slay with some nice shots of young creatives in creative places that should be somewhat noticeable to the average urban citizens. The voiceover work is really muddy and intermittent, enough to make us lose attention quickly - but the visuals should speak loud enough for what they're trying to communicate.

    Our only question is - how the hell do you swing work from both mayoral candidates? Surely the Slay team knew this was the same group behind Lewis Reed's initial running video?

  • Schlafly Unleashes New Macro Brewery: 21st & Locust #LetsDoThisThing

    April 1st, 2013 / Comments (0)

    So we arrive at April 1st with the beer world witnessing great change. In the past few years the multi-national light lager brewers, led by Anheuser Busch InBev, SAB Miller and Molson Coors have recognized the need to go beyond light lager and have created craft beers of their own like Shock Top and Blue Moon. They have avoided linking these beers to their heritage brands by creating breweries that don’t exist. Their “Argo like” creations have been very successful. To that we say, “Bravo, gentlemen.” Thus, Schlafly Beer has taken the unprecedented, yet self-evident, step of founding 21st And Locust Brewing Company® , the largest capacity light lager brewery in the world… 150 years in the past.

    Loving the jabs at one of our most despised "local" beers that is all about applepiesuperbowlcountry­music freedom. Production level could step it up from the iPhone camera they are apparently usi... OH WAIT YOU GUYZ - THIS IS FAKE! LOLZ.

    *Handclaps & Laughtracks*

    Yoooouuu guuuuyyyysssss…
