Local Music

Scott Anderson, owner of Room 34 and interactive developer for our website has a new project up: Scenes from the Busy Northern Metropolis. It explores our great city of Minneapolis. As you can see, he shows his Spunk/MPLS pride by wearing his “I Cherry Mpls” shirt on the inside cover of his CD. And, bonus! He sings “Spooncherry” on the first track.

Premium Package

Our “I Cherry MPLS” shirt will soon pop up in the Walker Art Center shop. This sweet screen printed packaging we cooked up, along with a mini-poster, will only be available if you purchase the shirt at the Walker. That’s why we call it premium, folks.

Eco-fountain Keeps Track

Spunk client and friend Nathan Dungan sent this over to us – he spotted this eco-conscious water fountain while he speaking at a Brentwood school in L.A. It gives you a little positive reinforcement for bringing and refilling your own reusable water bottle instead of buying water in plastic bottles. As Nathan says, ” The choices we make with our money can change the world!”

African Star Wars Masks

Friend of Spunk, Alex Griendling has been doing some dork-a-liscous Star Wars fan illustrations in the style of African masks, like this version of a Stormtrooper helmet. I love these masks. Head over and check out the rest here.  -Jj

Money Sanity Solutions Book Launch

Nathan Dungan’s new book Money Sanity Solutions launched last week at a party held at Casa Verde in south Minneapolis. Nathan (the nicest guy you’ll ever meet) gave a quick presentation on the book and exploring your family’s money narrative. Spunk designed the book, so we were invited (and won the worst dressed award). Please check out Share Save Spend and get a copy of Money Sanity Solutions (includes a dvd!) for yourself.
