Ron Lim

I was born, raised and still live in San Francisco. I make my home in the Sunset with my wife, Sharon.

I'm an advertising art director, writer and sometime illustrator. Some of my past clients include Microsoft, Taco Bell, Amazon.com, Levi Strauss, Sega, LucasArts, Bank of America, Cartoon Network, sfgate.com, Safeway, Cost Plus and Coors. I started my career at Ketchum Advertising. I've worked for Foote, Cone & Belding, Chiat/Day, McCann-Erickson and Anderson & Lembke.

My work has been recognised by the One Show, British D&AD, The Addys, The Effies, The Tellys, The Clios, Adweek, Advertising Age and others.

I've had my own site since 1996, when I started the webzine, The Laughing Drunk, which ended in 2002. I originally used Adobe PageMill(!), but soon switched over to Dreamweaver. Most of the graphics were created in Illustrator and imported into Photoshop. The entire site was created on a PowerBookG4.

The World According To began in July 2002. It's been redesigned and tweaked several times since then. The current look was put into rotation in September 2005 and tweaked in January 2006. You may notice that some of the older posts still feature previous designs. It's intentional. Seeing the old pages will be like peeling off old wallpaper, counting tree rings; determining what the designer was into at that point in history. That, and I'm lazy.

I've started the photography section in 2003 in hopes of posting more pictures, but I've been hit and missin that area. I will still post pictures in the main blog and add them to the photo section as I go. The illustration section has recently been overhauled, so it's pretty up-to-date.

Some of my preoccupations are collecting Spider-man stuff, comic art, movies and politics.
