LLOG BLOG #45: The Shot Heard Nowhere Around the World: Ch-ch-ch-Changes. / by Matt Everett

Changes at LMI: inevitable. Sorry.

Hello and Welcome back to another SHOCKING issue of the WORLD-RENOWNED LLOG BLOG!

As responsible providers of cutting-edge fine art/culture news, we want to start this issue with a letter from the editor, regarding rumors about LMI and their artistic direction for 2020 which have been circulating industry-wide for over 5 days now. Here is said letter:

Short and to the point. That’s why we hired an LMI Editor.

Yes, the rumors are indeed true. LMI will be closing most of their international offices, firing everyone except for their TOP-RATED, GRADE A, SUPER-CHARGED CREATIVE TEAM, moving all production to one location, (probably in Seattle, WA) and ceasing all production of LOG-BASED ARTWORK for at least 365 days (1 year).

However, before we get into the details, let’s revisit the title of this issue of the LLOG BLOG momentarily:

Ch-Ch-Changes. David Bowie.

Anyways, until 1/1/2020, we will be using the LLOG BLOG to highlight some of the best of log-based artwork through the years. Like this exploding log:

An Exploding Log.

Oh, don’t be sad, little buddies,

Sad Little Buddy.

…LMI will be very active with another project, which you… YES YOU… can help out with. (Read more below for the details).

Here’s another great one… a MOON BOOT Log Guy:

Oh, and remember some of the failed marketing/design projects like this one for OLD DOG SK8S?

Graphic for a skateboard.

This one illustrates what it would look like on the actual skate board. All that engineering, designing, artistry for NOTHING.

Thanks again OLD DOG SK8S. We intend to thank more companies in the future. Stay tuned for that.

Here is another blast from the past… a random TOAST DUDE:

Oh, and remember the plans to do a full campaign of LURKING LOGS?

A Lurking Log.

And what about those rainbow bush thingies?

Rainbow Shrub, actually.

So… what will LMI do then in 2020. LMI intends to do a year (or more) of portraiture. We will have our team of artist focus solely on the art of painting portraits… people, dogs, cats, whatever.

Here’s how you can help if you care to…. send a PICTURE OF YOUR SUBJECT (you, your partner, your cat, local postal worker, whatever) to info@logmanindustries.com. We may use your image as we work through thousands of paintings in 2020.

Try to take it like this… Plain background, head and shoulders.

Send a pic like this.

We have already received a few… surprise, surprise… OZZY didn’t follow the rules (look at the backgraound).

Not the way to do it.

And, LLOG BLOG will continue to report weekly on top-rated fine art/culture news… and will be adding in a new TOP 10 THINGS section, where the remaining employees at LMI will list the best things. You as reader will have the opportunity every week to write in and give your opinion on these TOP 10 THINGS.

Next week, we will do the best HOLIDAY ALBUMS! Stay tuned!

Good Holiday Albums.

That’s it. Have fun, be nice to people and have a LOGGY WEEK!
