Odds and ends in print

Skate Daily noticed that although Rick McCrank is active in Peta print ads and product giveaways, he’s still got a suede shoe model, unlike another Peta collaborator, Ed Templeton. Also in this month’s Print Magazine is a half a page on design variations in Nick Hornby’s book Slam, the one that features a protagonist that regularly converses with Tony Hawk in head, the same way Clarence Worley talks to Elvis, I mean “Mentor.”

Peta2 ad featuring Rick McCrank. I don’t know much about Rick. I was at his shop Antisocial in Vancouver BC, a few years back. It had a cool artsy-fartsy vibe, and the staff was friendly. While Antisocial maybe fully conceived, this Peta2 advert is pretty weak. Of course that’s not Rick’s fault. I guess they used up the design budget for Peta 1. Click to enlarge.

    Somebody (let it be me) could tell all the vegans that their gasoline is derived from the rotting remnants of once living beings, and driving on roads inevitably causes the occasional “accidental” death of numerous critters whose migration routes have been callously interrupted by the very existence of said roads, and that the best way,really and truly, that they could make life better for ALL the other animals here on planet earth would be to kill themselves….or at the very least don’t reproduce…personally, I’m enjoying my spot here at or near the top of the food chain.
