Watching it now man! Well said. Plus I found out you were part of Dead poetic...so, thats cool. Did you do your album layouts as well? One of those albums was in my "inspirational stuff" pile, the design/music industry can really be a smal world.
Great. I listened to this and kept it on my other screen while working.
Could def relate to a whole lot, since we're from the same "generation". Grew up as a teenager during the 90s. So I got all the references and all that.
Also, my mind is blown that you did the "Where America Goes to Die" Underoath shirt. I'm almost positive I'm wearing that in my 7th grade school photo.
Really interesting talk - love the stories and your passion – have to agree with your comment about Dribbble - gives us freelancer types a voice around the world.
It was either this or re-watching "The Campaign", because both have the approx same length, but I decided to watch this and now I'm glad that I did! Great stuff Brandon, love the part about "courage"! Keep on illustratoring! ;)
Thank you so much for putting the link to the video here. Your talk was so inspiring! I really needed to hear a lot of what you said. Thank you so much for that. There are days that I wonder if I'm crazy because I think the same way you do and no one else seems to think that way. It's so good to know I'm not crazy.
Great talk Brandon, thank you for sharing your experiences and things you've learned along the way. This talk was very inspiring to where I'm at right now. Oh and thanks to your video I just realized one of my favorite shirts (come and live) is your design.
Love, love this talk, truly. Can I persuade you to come talk to our creative teams at Resource Interactive? We're in downtown C-bus. Would love to have you deliver a similar conversation. Did I say pretty please?

This is great. Love the skate magazine and Dookie reference. Those were big factors in my interest in design as well.

Some wisdom in there too, for sure.
Keep it up, Brandon.
