The Tale of the Tube

Freelance art director and illustrator Matt Vescovo—he did MTV’s “Watch & Learn” campaign from a few years ago—has launched a new Instructoart series on YouTube called the “Man vs. Inanimate Object Championships.” The first match pits Man against the dreaded Nearly Empty Toothpaste Tube. Place your bets.

Housekeeping note: As regulars might notice, I finally got around to tweaking my css so that YouTube embeds don’t look quite as crappy on my blog as they do everywhere else—so now I can link to online videos without fear. Hope I have succeeded, although I’ll try not to overdo it. Despite the online video revolution, I remain firmly committed to words.
