Lou recently collaborated with Grant Scott & Hurley, an advertising agency that was formed in San Francisco in 1998 to basically make advertising fun again. The result was Lou's illustration for this ad for Menlo Worldwide under the guiding hand of AD Will Roth.

The agency's edgy spirit is reflected in the restored firehouse the firm occupies, complete with working firepole that is a fast two-story drop for anyone brave enough. Lou admits that during a recent visit there, he chickened out of trying the pole. But thrill-seeking Art Buyer Philip McCanless was happy to demonstrate the time it saves getting to the ground floor. It's carrying layouts up the pole that takes time.
