The Dog Pack Takes San Jacinto Peak by Storm

This past Friday, July 30th, a number of the pack set out at 5AM for the San Jacinto Mountain Peak.  
Max, Rick, Cayley and I took Black Mountain Trail starting at 830AM and headed for the peak. 7.25 miles to the peak, the trek spanned a change of 4,500 feet in elevation. The entire 14.5 mile round trip took me 10 hours. The others made it back at different times.  

Here are just a few of the photos to catalogue our epic foray into the wild.

down and dirty: groundworks photoshoot

It's common knowledge to everyone here at the studio that the floor might as well be my second home. Well, it was common knowledge after that party a few weeks ago, and especially after those photos from last year's Halloween party began circulating... Anyway, this week I had the opportunity to put in some QT with the underbelly of the photo cove when the crew of Groundworks piled in, ready for a shoot.

Hot to Trot 2010: Pin-Up's, Planes, and a Party, Oh My!

Anyone who knows this pack of crazy dogs knows we like to party. When we aren’t basking in the glow of our monitors, frantically typing out copy, or slinging paint on canvas, we like to have a little fun. What some of you may not know is that a few of us have a fancy for that certain retro flair. You know, the elegant curves of a ‘40’s Packard, the polished steel of a P-38 Lightning, and slight tease of a pin-up girl. 

Collaborate This: Ninja Photoshoot

You might think after spending hours at the studio working on designs, marketing plans, ad layouts and a whole host of creatively frustrating or taxing projects that we all go home and curl up into the fetal position, avoiding any type of visual stimulation or muse-like urges. You know, like accountants.

Here’s to another unforgettable holiday bash
at Dogs of Design this year.

Well, it was unforgettable unless you visited that Tequila Bar one too many times… in which case, let us refresh your memory:
