OK, who wants the naked, hairy copywriter?
As the agency Web site is busy getting reimagined, Lawson Clarke, a newly unemployed copywriter, is busy reinventing the portfolio site. Clarke, as you can see above, decided to go with a natural look in his hunt for a new job. He's paying homage to Burt Reynolds, hero to all mustachioed and hirsute men—specifically, the April 1972 centerfold of Cosmopolitan magazine, which we wrote about previously when DirecTV used it for a print ad. Lawson worked at Arnold in Boston until recently. "With so many incredibly talented advertising creatives on the street right now, and so few jobs available, I figured I had to do something to get noticed," he wrote in an e-mail. Lawson also holds the claim to fame as being the first makeover contestant, back in 2004, on Bravo's Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. "Somehow I think Carson would approve of the site," he wrote. |

I'd wear him like a scuba mask.

Interesting approach, but it may be a little weird once you start working with the guy. When you bump into him in the hallway and this image comes to mind ... weird. Hopefully he gets a new gig!

I checked out the link and I'm impressed. He has killer work to back up the bold website. In a sea of bland self-promotion websites, why not have fun with it? As long as the work doesn't get outshined by the landing page. And in this case, the work is great. Nice job.

i used to work for this guy. He had a folder on the server called "Lawson's Eyes" that was just full of porn.
