Make Joe Drive

Why is Joe driving?

WallBlank.com decided to give away a free print to help celebrate their 1st birthday. But not in a usual manner. From all the orders received the week of their birthday, one was selected to be hand delivered.

Joe departed Rockford, IL on Saturday, Oct. 31st and is headed toward the lucky winner's town, Charleston, SC. He is driving without any navigational aids, instead relying on you to tell him where to stop along the way. Know of a great town, landmark, person, restaurant or anything remotely close to his route that he should check out? Let him know! He'll pay a visit, and then post photos/videos from along the way.

Tell Joe where to go:

Where is Joe driving?

From Rockford, IL to Charleston, SC and back. You decide the route.

What is Joe driving?

Joe is driving a 1962 Lincoln Continental. It's all original with only 26,000 miles (before the trip).

The Debrief

There’s something to be said for the privilege to represent Rockford, IL, and, in particular, a business like WallBlank.com that seeks to go the extra mile (let alone another 4,190) for the sake of tangible relationships, involved adventures, and word-of-mouth networking. And just to be clear, I’m not employed by them, I’m just a friend and an artist who believes in what they’re doing.

Thanks for this privilege. This very first Make Joe Drive campaign went very well and I feel that this is the start of something good on many fronts. The word of Rockford and WallBlank.com has been integrated in cafes, restaurants, coffee shops, and along the road where everyday life happens for the majority of people.

These discoveries and relationships wouldn’t have even been possible had it not been for your tweets, texts, calls, and help along the way. Thanks again.

Eight days, four thousand one hundred ninety-one miles, fifty hours of driving, twenty-five coffee concoctions, and two hundred twenty-five gallons of gas are the earmarks of the very first Make Joe Drive mission.

What’s next on the horizon?

It’s never too early to start sending in ideas and new places. Emailing Joe@wallblank.com is a good place to start.
