The world’s finest, Mark Menjivar, has an opening reception at TWO galleries in San Antonio this Thursday, December, 9. The galleries are across the street from each other and people can walk back and forth too see both exhibits. There will even be a mobile health clinic in between the two so that you can get a check up! Needless to say, go to the opening, meet Mark, and you will find that you are a better person for it.
I have never had the urge to knit anything, but I have had the urge to buy one of these knit meat pieces from S.Casper. Sadly that won’t be happening since they are all sold out on the Etsy link provided. Until then I can only wish. Check out the fish head and sausage links after the jump.
Tribeza Magazine just published a set of images shot by Jay B highlighting three popular east side eateries. See the other two images after the jump and read the digital version of the magazine.
McDonald’s normally gets the brunt of the trash-talk when people are discussing fast food, but imagine the United States as one large fast food playing field. Now imagine it’s McDonald’s versus all the other major fast food players in a battle to saturate said playing field. According to this map, McDonald’s isn’t the only one to blame for the increase in fast food intake. The above map details the dominance of all of these restaurants across our country relative to McDonald’s.

It’s time for another episode of A Face With The Name and this week we’ve got the lovable creative duo known as the Butler Bros. Adam and Marty Butler are some of my favorite creatives in town. I interned with them while I was in college and they have stayed great mentors of mine ever since. I’m particularly fond of their mantra “We tell the stories of those that inspire us” which I feel is very fitting of their mission.
They have had a slew of clients both nationally and locally, but their most recent clients and mission have been geared towards helping people choose healthier lifestyles. From helping Jason’s Deli rid the world of MSG and High Fructose Corn Syrup to teaching people that a plant based diet is a great diet and assisting LIVESTRONG Foundation get cancer on the national agenda, they’re funny guys with big ideas. They want to help reverse the KFC and McDonald’s laden course food consumption is on. In a post-Super Size Me world its a good thing that companies are realizing that people will eat healthy food if its offered. Thankfully the Butler Bros are there to help said companies achieve that goal.
All in all they’re a positive change kind of agency. They taught me that its important to do good work for good companies. That if you’re going to spend most of your life working on something it might as well be for the better good. They’ve helped launch the careers of many of the creatives who have worked for them or with them including mine. Big ups to this creative duo from all of us at PUBLIC SCHOOL.
