David Willson Design and Illustration While the advertising community debates over the job title and description of brand manager vs brand editor, I've come to the conclusion that brand marketing itself is becoming less and less pertinent.

I had lunch today with Richard Earl, the grandson of automotive genius Harley Earl. We talked about the sad state of GM. Richard believes that the company started going down hill the day it began scuttling Earl's customer-oriented design and manufacturing philosophy shortly after his retirement. I tend to agree with hi...m.

David Willson Design and Illustration It's hard to believe we've been living with the Wall Street meltdown for two years, but this cartoon proves it. I illustrated it in September 2007 for ValueRich magazine a small-cap publication I was editor in chief of at the time.

David Willson Design and Illustration Kayla and I went to see 9 yesterday. She loved it and I liked it well enough, but could not help feeling a little bit underwhelmed by it all. It had great animation and lots of action, but what movie doesn't these days.

I'm a boomer. I got my first record album as a dance contest prize at Cotillion. If you're not a boomer you probably don't know what Cotillion was, it was several weeks of dance lessons culminating with a fancy dress ball ... for 12-year-olds. Actually, it was a pretty good night...
