Baxter, whose award-winning illustrations pepper the site’s clever, animated complaints, has worked with such high profile clients as Microsoft, Penguin-Putnam, Forbes, [...]
When a man in Florida named Dano created Motorcycle Monster several years ago, it was a website that kept growing and growing. Initially the site for insurance company MRA Motorcycle Insurance, it expanded into a collection of essays about relevant laws, safety tips, and cultural icons by company man and biker enthusiast Dano.

It’s amazing to have Darryl Hannah publish an environmentalist vlog, but [...]
