Thanks Ris
Over the past two weeks, I have read almost all of the posts about the late Jim Riswold and everything that has been said is 100% true. He wrote like a God. His creative portfolio is unmatched. And there has never been, nor will ever be, another like him.
So why write another post? Well, mainly to say thank you, albeit too late, to the man who shared so much more with people than his advertising genius.
A few of the things Ris taught me.
I'm sure there were times when I didn't like Ris, but I did always love the man and, unfortunately, never told him so. Maybe it's because I never really understood the impact he was having on my life until he wasn't around to respond to a random text anymore.
Speaking of random texts, the last text conversation I had with Ris went as follows (the image I'm referring is Bar in Hotel Scribe by Floyd Davis).

me: "For some reason I feel this is very Riswoldian."
Ris: "I love it! How can I get one?"
me: "National Museum of Art in DC."
Ris: "Steal it for me."
me: "I'll try."
Thank you Jim Riswold!

6 个月Proud to say I beared witness to said bathrobe incident. I probably would’ve have found it more funny if I hadn’t been so terrified of what he was (or wasn’t) wearing underneath. He definitely made it interesting for us account folks!
