Art Directors Gone Wild

Sometimes we feel bad for art directors. You know when you walk by the AD’s highly decorated desk and she/he has that crazy look in their eye? Kind of like that tiger at the zoo right before he attacked? You know the one. It’s hard being an AD. So much creativity and so few outlets.

Maybe that’s why they always have side projects from hosting shows in galleries to running small stores or just making weird videos for the hell of it. Sometimes, advertising just isn’t enough. We understand.

Sean Ohlenkamp probably knows all about that caged in feeling. Consider that this art director from TBWA Chiat Day/Tequila has taken a photo of his desktop everyday for the past year. You can watch it shift and shake to a cute little soundtrack here. One note to Sean – consider uploading the vid to YouTube.

Anyway, we’d like to find other art directors who have gone wild. If you’ve got a good side project (videos, movies, art, writing, etc.), send it our way – agencyspy at mediabistro dot com or IM: agencyspy
