So here’s the scoop on Justin Blyth – he’s been busting out some seriously cool TV commercials lately. You can totally check out his big-time creative chops at www.jblyth.com.

But, let me let you in on something even cooler: his blog. Picture this – a world made up entirely of images that stir up inspiration like you wouldn’t believe. This isn’t just your average blog, it’s like a peek inside Blyth’s brain, giving us a look at what gets his creative juices flowing.

We’re talking sultry sirens, groovy old record covers, vibes from the enigmatic Ellmore West, and rad classic band tees. It’s like a crazy kaleidoscope of cool stuff that gives you a solid idea of who he is and where he’s coming from.

Trust me when I say this, Blyth isn’t just some ad guy. He’s my personal hero, and his blog at www.jblyth.com/blog.html is seriously worth your time. It’s like a visual wonderland just waiting to inspire you.
