IMPOSSIBLE to not tap your toes to this soulful jam.

Our little Jared is all grown up
Jared Tomlinson (formerly Jared Tomlinson, Designer) is now known as Jared Tomlinson, Jr. Art Director. It’s a much longer (and thus much fancier) title and he’s earned every character of it. He’s got the new business card and everything. Very official. His hard work and dedication to doing all things great more than earned him the promotion. (Some say his contribution of candy-coated bacon to the Marlin Holiday Potluck didn’t hurt his chances either.) Mmmm, bacon.

He’s back
But not in the scary, going-to-take-over-the-world-in-the-name-of-Skynet kind of way. Former intern Adam Bowlin has returned to us after a year-long stint at VSA in Chicago. And we couldn’t be happier. Okay, maybe we could be a little bit happier. But we’re still pretty stinkin’ excited. Welcome back, Adam.

That beer thing paid off
We’re thrilled to announce the former intern Sarah Baldwin has joined Marlin full-time as a designer. She’s done a fantastic job keeping up with a demanding schedule and some quick deadlines, all while producing some truly great beer…er, work. Yes, delicious, cold, frosty, home-brewed work. We couldn’t be happier to have you as a full-fledged Marlinite, Sarah. Welcome to the team.

The world is their palette
Why keep the little one’s creativity limited to the front of the refrigerator? Incredibly fun to watch the interactive evolution of a stark white room into a work of art as thousands of children plaster it with a near infinite amount of colorful stickers. Check out artist Yayoi Kusama’s work here >

And More Holiday Goodness
A little inter-office rivalry turned into full-on column decorating blowout here at Marlin this holiday season. Teams were created to deck the poles with the best (and worst) seasonal adornments scavenged from attics, closets, flea markets and dumpsters. The results weren’t too shabby, if we say so ourselves. Hopefully we’ll get around to taking stuff down before Memorial Day.
