What do you do when your afternoon plans are postponed? You go on a field trip to DDI Media and your own private tour with Jeff Waple! We saw the life-sized billboard that (back in the day) artists would use to create vinyl artwork, Scott had a photo taken with one of their cow models and we saw the inner sanctum where Jeff works his magic. Thanks for the fantastic tour Jeff and for introducing us to all the names we know by email.
