look at canada's bruce mao. his "massive change" (sponsored by altria) could be picked apart and criticized for a lifetime...
blake is right, the time of celebrity designers is long gone.

i admit it would be interesting to hear one of his lectures... how he would try to convince people to change the way they think and all the presentations of how things could be. i definitely think this sort of thing is good for mass culture to have more exposure to. in the end it is the blue sky concepts that drive innovative solutions.
