Old hat, citroen and (a dead) picasso have already done it!!!

A poor attempt at adding a little 'edge' to the bmw brand purely by association.
I would have liked to see him give the car a paint job though - make a real mess off it, kind like a pretentious arty version of 'pimp my ride'

but that would be boring... BMW already did "art cars" in the 80's with Warhol, Calder and 2 others I can't remember.

sorry... way more than 2...

Many of you must settle.
I hear a lot of negativity about the work and your expectations for this work. I sense that this comes from jealoussy of a man get his own on his own skills rather than the majority of us that sit back and scan sites like this "present company included" looking for that next cool site that we can copy or take apart.
I doupt Joshua needs your validation or is even considering it. Like he said - Feed his family and pay his mortgage.
Joshua - Rock on brother!! Keep pumping out the inspiration.
PS: They should have given you a car. - you kidding?

mogo - rock on brother.
a few thoughts...
1. go read Ayn Rand - the fountainhead - there's this great moment when Ellsworth Touhey pulls Howard Roark aside after writting a horrible article about him. and he says... Roark tell me what you think of me and what I've done to you... and roark replies... "but I don't think of you"
honestly comments whether good or bad - don't really matter to me. What I do have is a close net of peers and friends that I bounce ideas off of - but mostly I have an honest love and belief in the things I make - whether for myself or for clients - and when people do hire me this is what they get - passion.
A few months back I sent over some sample artwork to TOOL and I phoned Adam, the guitarist and ask him what he thought -- he replied "what do you mean? why would you send me stuff you don't like ? why would you send me stuff that required my validation ? if you love it then we love it".
and I realized that if I loved... I mean truly loved the work that I was doing... then that was all that mattered and it would show.
after the fountain head... go read Napoleon Hill's "think and grow rich" the only true obstacles are the ones we place in front of ourselves - and if I stay positive and have faith in my work - then good things will happen.
and then people on this board wonder why I get great jobs. and people on this board will sometimes complain and have negative comments about others and the work they create - why would anyone want to hire someone who complains about others ?
in the fountainhead someone looks at Roark's work and says... who's going to let you build these types of buildings ? and Roark replies... "who's going to stop me?"
I love what I do.
I love my clients
my clients love me.
I love my family.
I love my friends and peers.outside of that... this is all just talk.
thanks for the continued comments.

Josh, we need to kick the print end of things up a notch, here in ATL.
When can you start?

(Feb 22 06, 06:22)Sounds like the start of a manifesto there Mr Davis!
That's the first post I have read in ages that has made me want to keep it.
It also sums up what has got so wrong about this forum and to a greater extent the industry.
When did we all become so concerned with shitting on other people more than bettering ourselves?
- punkture0
why does everyone get all worked up everytime someone launches new work. Josh has been pushing our medium forward for aslong as i can remember. that being said

what a great post. And here are the links:

Yo Josh, did you ask if you can design the interior electronic interface of the next model?
I'd like BMW to put their money where thier mouth is and create somthing completely unique in terms of information design in their cars - rock on JD..

Who really cares what others think of your work? If youre doing it cause it makes you happy, thats the best job in the world.
fuck them.

I continue to learn from Josh...
though my work is not like his, his work was the seed for mine. when i think of the five great teachers that have influenced my life, he is one... though i have never met him. back in the day when he passed out source code like a crazy monkey, i learned a lot.
thanks dude

anytime matt - and I appreciate our e-mail volleys.
