So the superbowl this year was pretty… boring… I was rooting for the Colts but it wasn’t a huge disaster when they lost. What was a huge disaster were the superbowl commercials. Is there any company out there willing to make a commercial that will actually make an impact or cause a stir or be funny? The closest thing I got to being impressed was the Doritos commercial with the kid slapping the man telling him not to touch his mama or his Doritos. Other than that… boring, same commercials that have been on the last two years. Everything about the superbowl this year felt “safe”. I’m not saying I can come up with better ads I’m just saying I wish companies would take more risks and put out memorable, clever, boundary pushing material. Google had pretty nice commercial too.
I uploaded some old monotype sketches onto the Downpour site. You can check more out here.
A lot of people can’t stand him. I can. Don’t care about his wishy washy decision making. Don’t care about the packers or the jets. I just thought he was a beast this year. I found some photos online of Brett Favre after the Saints game. He’s a tough dude. Check it out here.

DISCLAIMER
I have been receiving calls and e-mails about this promo commercial. I want everyone to know that the kid in the video was not injured at any time or forced to puke. He was/is fine and happy to help.
Matt Stansberry and I are embarking on a long journey through the amazon. Figuratively speaking. I will be doing illustrations for a children’s book(s) he is working on. Here is the first illustration layer in pencil. Head hunters.

Who to root for? I love Peyton Manning and think he is a funny, classy guy. On the other hand Drew Brees is a beast and I think the town of New Orleans could use something like a Superbowl Championship to really help their city. Any thoughts?
