Evan Roth

A few weeks ago, Evan Roth came to our class to speak about his experiences. Here's some of what we learned from him:

• Weekend projects are a good thing. Quick projects that enable you to work smarter help and keep you creative.
  
• Publish early and often online. He doesn't believe in keeping everything under wraps until it's complete -- he likes to share his ideas and allow others to work off them.
  
• Use social media. It helps get your name out there and allows other people to be aware of what you are doing.
• People can see through bullshit. Large companies are not able to show sincerity and it's what is lacking in today's over-advertised world.
• Try to get grants to do your work. He originally went to school to be an architect and then went back for design. Then he received a grant that allowed him to work on his graffiti project, which led to other great things. Kudos to him.
  

He's a really cool guy, and someone who has worked hard to get to where he is. Some of his projects:

1. Graffiti Research Lab
2. FAT (Free Art and Technology)
3. Bad Ass Mother Fucker
4. USA USB
