Every 3 years we get to drive fast, brake hard, and smash some cones. Precision Driving Training day was a blast! @osuit @osuitviscom #weareviscom #passedwithflyingcolors #roadwarrior (at OSU Institute of Technology)

@bioworld Greg Wolverton’s artwork...wow! He drew Einstein in reverse, showing what it looks like inverted on his phone. That’s incredible! David Bowie homage. @osuitviscom @osuit @vcc.osuit #weareviscom #madskills #drawslikeaboss #thewolverine #graphicdesigner #successfulalumni (at Irving, Texas)

@bioworld Greg Wolverton’s handiwork. Logo development from initial creative brief with client to finished artwork. Nice! He gets to draw all day long! Good gig. @osuitviscom @osuit @vcc.osuit #weareviscom #successfulalumni #drawslikeaboss #goodgig (at Irving, Texas)

Steven and Mac took a spin in the hot air balloon too. Vintage basket refurbished, lifted off the ground and swinging, seeing the flames over your head in the headset when lifting off the ground, and a gentle breeze blowing on you to heighten the experience @janimationinc @osuitviscom @osuit @vcc.osuit #fullimmersion #nevergrowup #entrepreneurmindset #thisisgonnabebig #pixarsup #newdisneyattraction (at Dallas, Texas)

Big D day 4 was incredible! Many thanks to @janimationinc CEO Steve Gaconnier and Lindsay and Ricardo for sharing your wisdom with students. Our own Brenden Ragsdale is soaking it up and growing under your mentoring as an intern this summer. The hot air balloon experience was a trip! You can see the canyon imagery on the computer screen that Rachel was seeing in the headset. #wow #vr #upupandaway #weareviscom @osuitviscom @osuit @vcc.osuit (at Dallas, Texas)

Capped the week off @bioworld with a great tour from Chad who showed us the many teams who produce the licensed merch we love to buy. Then our alumni Greg Wolverton blew the students minds by showing them his incredible sketches, roughs, and final art that he draws for @bioworld. What an amazing talent he is! Thank you Chad, Greg, Nate, etc. for a great finale to our week in Big D! @osuitviscom @osuit #weareviscom #bioworld #drawingskills #notstarvingartist #coolstuff (at Irving, Texas)

And then there’s this motley crew. Had a great time laughing and talking with these colleagues. What’s better than working with a great group of people who make you laugh so hard your sides ache? #osuitviscom #wakeupbrian

Enjoying an authentic Italian restaurant with a lot of history displayed on the walls.

[osuitviscom]

Campisi’s was delicious! Yeah, we’ll be back again. Love the local flavor!

[osuitviscom]

Dining at Campisi’s. A very red room...great location for filming a mid-century mob movie.

Can’t study the JFK assassination without studying the history of Jack Ruby’s mafia connections which includes his favorite Dallas restaurant, Campisi’s Egyptian, where he ate 2 days before killing Lee Harvey Oswald. We met Shirley the Hostess who knew Jack Ruby and the Campisi family. She took good care of our large group but also was friendly and kind enough to show us Ruby’s table, mugshot, and tell us her story and personal recollections. Campisi’s original location on Mockingbird Ln is a time capsule of Dallas’ history with hundreds of autographed pictures on their walls from all the famous and infamous people who have dined there. #campisisegyptian #mafiaconnection #walkinginthefootstepsofhistory (at Dallas, Texas)

Took the @osuitviscom students to the 6th Floor Museum for a sobering tour of one of the saddest days in American history. One of the best parts of teaching: watching students learn about something that was just a chapter in a book become real, tangible history. #jfk #6thfloormuseum #historylesson #dontlethistoryrepeatitself #thisiswhyweteach (at Texas School Book Depository Dealy Plaza Dallas Texas)
