    There are those who are in this industry for the paycheck (although, we question their math skills), and those who are in it for the passion. Make is an evening celebrating the latter. Come make a little street art, make a new connection and help us make a dent in our liquor supply.

    / Comments (1)

    As you may or may not have heard, AIGA Colorado has brought Colorado's favorite skateboard auction to AIGA's National Design Center in New York City. The opening reception is tonight, Wednesday, May 8th. They'll be hosting a silent auction for attendees and an eBay auction for those who couldn't make it to NYC.

    Part of the beauty of Bordo Bello is that it has connected art lovers from around the nation to celebrate design. Colorado's incredible supporters have been the foundation of the local success — and that support is now extending across the nation.

    If you're in NYC, come enjoy the beautiful artwork and place a bid if you're feeling lucky. If not, join AIGA Colorado on Twitter and Facebook, as they'll be live tweeting and posting pictures of the celebrations.

    Be sure to check out all the decks available for purchase or see all the decks in the exhibit.

  • "My First Rifle" Ad is freaking everyone out.

    / Comments (17)

    After all the gun violence in the news lately, including a 5-year-old killing his 2-year-old sibling with his own single-shot 22-caliber rifle, people are admittedly a little freaked out when someone pulls this Cricket Rifle spot out of the archives.

    If some parents want to increase the likelihood that someone in the family will be injured or die from a gun accident in order to give their young kid a John Wayne complex, who are we to say no? We'll think they're crazy, but hey, that's America. What we're nearly as outraged over is that the girl's rifle is pink. That just puts everything over the top.
