Larry Blamire's Steam Wars: Head of Steam
Bringing Larry Blamire's tale to life through the amazing medium of comic books was an important experience for me. I had a chance to work with Larry directly and get to know a universe only creatives like Larry can imagine in their minds. Involving Tyler Kirkham in the mix gave me an opportunity to work with someone whose skills have been honed at one of the great iconic comic book empires, DC Comics.

Collins III, a business consultant and lecturer on company sustainability and growth, the book describes how companies can easily make the transition to become better companies. It was written in 2001 and is a compilation of 6,000 articles with more than 2,000 pages of interview scripts collected over a five-year project period.

Donald Trump’s Favorite Celebrity Sex Tapes
Recently presidential candidate Donald Trump went on a 3AM twitter rant which included urging his followers to check out a supposed sex tape featuring former Miss Universe Alicia Machado. In addition to once again demonstrating his low opinion of women, it also got us thinking; was Trump up late at night looking for something to say about Miss Machado, or was he perusing sites looking for celebrity sex tapes to add to his collection? Needless to say this led to a very dark mental space. After a long shower and stiff drink to get the images out of our heads we put together this list of Donald Trump’s favorite celebrity sex tapes.

And a young man is to be castrated for cancer of the testes. His surgeon advises him to store his sperm.

Why Were Cigars a Symbol of Corporate Success?
Winston Churchill, John F Kennedy, Bill Clinton, Stalin and Che Guevara – political icons on both sides of the divide – are all well known for their companion piece, the cigar. Men of wealth, and power, have historically indulged in the consumption of fine handcrafted cigars imported from Cuba and Central America. Membership to this club however, has not been the sole domain of politicians, gangsters and movie stars. Cigars have also become an indulgence for the super wealthy, powerful ad men, corporate lawyers and business magnates. In a dog-eat-dog world, where very few rise to the top of the corporate ladder, cigars have become synonymous with the penultimate success.
