Blog Is Mark Brinker?: An Adventure of Cosmic Proportions
http://blogismarkbrinker.blogspot.com/2008/02/adventure-of-cosmic-proportions.html
Monday, February 25, 2008. An Adventure of Cosmic Proportions. My name is Mark Brinker and I live in Los Angeles. Now we're all on the same page. I'm starting this blog mostly to post the ridiculous artwork I end up making for my job as a graphic designer on commercials. So I was working on this Ikea commercial, and after a 12 hour day my boss told me he needed more set dressings for the next day's shoot, specifically rock band posters and "Star Wars-type posters.". I showed this to my boss. He said.

Blog Is Mark Brinker?: Los Angeles is a Fantastic Land Filled with Mythical Beasts
http://blogismarkbrinker.blogspot.com/2008/03/los-angeles-is-fantastic-land-filled.html
Monday, March 10, 2008. Los Angeles is a Fantastic Land Filled with Mythical Beasts. I found my second cockroach last night. My old roommate and reader of the blog, Florian (Hello, Florian) found the first one in our kitchen, and trapped it in a Pringles can (by the way, after you put the can on the cockroach, how’d you flip it over and get the top on it? Impressive). We studied the cockroach through the clear plastic lid, and then threw the sealed Pringles can into the dumpster outside. So I killed the ...

Blog Is Mark Brinker?: Seagulls
http://blogismarkbrinker.blogspot.com/2008/04/seagulls.html
Thursday, April 10, 2008. I just got done working on a Honda commercial. The commercial was Japanese, for a car that’s only available in Japan. Most of the crew was Japanese as well, including the director and producers, and a translator accompanied them for when they had to talk to the crewmembers who didn’t speak Japanese. My boss handed me a spray and told me to use it on the wheels. When I was on number three out of six, he walked by me and said “Not the tires! Apparently when the crew scouted the lo...

Blog Is Mark Brinker?: Tuesdays with Henry
http://blogismarkbrinker.blogspot.com/2008/03/tuesdays-with-henry.html
Wednesday, March 26, 2008. I decided to post some of the deep intellectual discussions I've had with my longtime collaborator Henry Ferreira, with the hopes that young prospective minds might glean some knowledge. Posted by Life is Bullshit. It is really convincing that you post the images of your convos, lest we think that Henry is just a creation of your fruitful psyche. Anyways, i am just really glad that you are not all alone in your world, mark. April 1, 2008 at 10:32 PM. April 14, 2008 at 12:55 AM.

Blog Is Mark Brinker?: The Wetsuit Story
http://blogismarkbrinker.blogspot.com/2008/02/wetsuit-story.html
Tuesday, February 26, 2008. I was working on a Domino's commercial, and the night before they e-mailed me the call sheet with the names and phone numbers of the crew. There was a note at the bottom. It said "Note: There will be a 7 foot alligator on set tomorrow. All untrained crew are to remain at least 15 feet away from the alligator at all times.". Until about an hour later, when my boss looked at his watch and then said, "Okay, put on the wetsuit.". Yeah," he said. I'd imagined something along the li...

Blog Is Mark Brinker?: June 2009
http://blogismarkbrinker.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 10, 2009. I got a new story published! It's called "The Works", and it's in Black Boot Magazine. Here's the link: http:/ www.theblackboot.com/Web Selects/Mark Brinker.html. It was one of the first things I wrote after moving to LA, so I guess it's fitting that it would be published now as I'm moving away, sort of bookending things. PS I'm moving out of LA for anyone who didn't know that already. That link again: http:/ www.theblackboot.com/Web Selects/Mark Brinker.html.
