What I do.

I am a copywriter for an advertising agency. That is widely known, at least among my peeps, but not everyone knows what that means. So, you ask, what is a copywriter? I guess it's a just a fancy word for someone who writes copy, and for the record, it has nothing to do with trademarks, copyrights or anything like that.

I create ads, brochures, radio spots, TV ads, videos, eblasts, websites, billboards and anything else for our clients, for our company or just for fun. I basically help come up with the idea for an ad, what it should look like and what it should say. And along the way I work with an art director who creates the layout or design of the ad, brochure, etc. It is a fun job (most of the time) and I wouldn't trade it for anything, except to be a pro golfer, basketball player, skateboarder or maybe photographer, or maybe rock star. But other than that, I love it!

And now I finally have my portfolio site finished, after working on it for quite some time. Here it is, robotkinson.com.

It allows me to showcase my talents to anyone who is interested in what I can do. Feel free to click around and explore the things I've done in the past. I will update it when I have new stuff that I am proud of.

Thanks kids.

Awesome movie

Here is the trailer for a unique documentary that came out last year, but I just finally got around to seeing it. It is called The King of Kong.

If you like good documentaries, or if you are just a fan of old video games, this movie is highly recommended. I hoped it would be good, but little did I know that there was such a compelling story to tell in the world of competitive Donkey Kong. It's a tale of good vs. evil, David vs. Goliath, Luke vs. Darth. But who will win? I guess you'll have to watch it to find out.

I hope you enjoy it. I sure did.

My boys can swim!

It appears that my guys aren't as lazy as I am and managed to beat the odds, as well as Melissa's defense mechanisms, to successfully knock her up. The good news is that we didn't have to use alcohol or a drive in movie to make it happen. Yeah! Here is a picture of the little guy or gal. If you look close enough, you can see that it has my eyes and Melissa's bum.
