As Mad Men wrapped up their historic run, I found a series of quotes that can be applied to not only creative industries, but almost any business, and life. I also created the illustrations.

5. My mother always said be
careful what you wish for,
because you’ll get it. And
then people will get
jealous and try to take
it away from you.

your problems.
I'm another problem.

of things before people
know they need them.
