"Do I want to be in STL forever? Of course. People from other teams want to play in STL and they are jealous that we're in STL because the fans are unbelievable. So why would you want to leave a place like STL to go somewhere else and make 3 OR 4 MORE MILLION A YEAR? IT'S NOT ABOUT MONEY. I ALREADY GOT MY MONEY. IT'S ABOUT WINNING, THAT'S IT."

- Albert Pujols Feb 15th, 2009

Cardinals offer - 10 years $220 million
Angels offer -10 years $250 million

Difference per year = 3 MILLION

To those that say "this is just a business decision" let me remind you that this man is already sitting on $100+ million dollars that he's been paid over the last decade for playing a child's game. That money came from me and the other 3 million fans that bought $10 beers, $40 hats, and $8 hotdogs in our $50 bleacher seats while sitting in a stadium partially funded by municipal TAX DOLLARS... and thats after paying $20 for parking.

Does he owe us anything as fans? maybe not.

But he's no longer the hero of good will and loyalty. He did not rise above greed and ego.

He took the money and moved to hollywood.

That's the way the world is.

Doesn't mean I have to like it.

Doesn't mean I can't be angry about it.

Have fun counting your money Albert, I hope your elbow falls off.

If you're in the Lou (St.Louis) this Friday stop by the Mad Art Gallery and check out the Sidekicks and Soulmates Opening Reception. I have a new piece in this group show entitled "Alternative Girlfriend Suicide". If you've never been to this gallery you need to check it out, it's an old police station/ jail that has been converted into a mega badass gallery.

Ale Yeah! Finished product

noreply@blogger.com (Jeremy Townsend (JERT)) — Thu, 22 Sep 2011 15:30:00 +0000

This is a vehicle wrap I helped put together for the Ale Yeah! Craft Beer Boutique.
I chose the color scheme and illustrated the characters. A graphic designer at the vehicle wrap store designed the clouds, layed out the text and built the magnetic 3-D barrel.
Overall I think this is a very bright, attention grabbing mobile advertisement for a great local Atlanta business. I was happy to be a part of the project. Big thanks to Eddie, Cisco, Jay, and Jenny.
Stay tuned for an Ale yeah! Jert shirt thats in the works.
