• “Gregory explained that he'd
  found her memory card on the
  ground while taking pictures of
  trash on his walk to the office...”

• “...and that he'd pieced clues in
  the photos together and used
  Google to identify the owner
  of the unusual collection
  of images...”

• “...then Amy Goodman said
  ‘You really had no idea who
  I was?’ and Gregory replied ‘No.
  But I recognized Bill Clinton
  and Grandpa Munster.’”

• “He knows creative technology
  like the back of his hand. It's like
  watching a kitten with
  a ball of yarn.”

• “What Gregory has cannot
  be taught. You'll see it in
  the first five minutes.”

• “He started as a junior graphic
  designer in our D.C. office and
  in five years, he was promoted to
  Corporate Director of Graphics
  and led the redesign of the
  entire brand.”

• “Frank Stella said Harkins' work
  has ‘a funky straightforwardness’

  remarkable.’”

• “We regularly get feedback from

  and creative quality of the work
  he's taken the lead in creating.”

  a fast-paced, dynamic studio,

  as part of a very creative team.
  Emphasis on creative team.”

  is consistent, focused, and
  applicable to an array of
  challenges that demand
  creative resolution.”

• “When Gregory left
  D.C. for New York it was
  like a light going out.”

• “Gregory's our ‘man behind
  the curtain’ without whom
  there would be no brand.”

• “He's easily the most creative
  designer I have ever worked with.
  And one of the most articulate
  people I know.”

• “His teams love him. He brings
  the best ideas out of all of us by
  being open, respectful, inspiring,
  and very funny.”

• “He once asked me to go to the
  police station with him to turn in
  $360 he'd found on the ground
  while photographing trash...”

• “...I said ‘WTF? It's probably
  drug money. A wad of twenties?
  They'll just keep it. Let's go play.’
  I thought he was crazy...”

• “...without a pause he said
  ‘the story's worth a lot more
  than $360.’ The funny thing is,
  it was never claimed.
  He got both.”

• “By the time he left the room
  he'd won the confidence
  of the entire board.”

  was serious.”

• “Rufus took a drag and handed
  the cigarette back to Gregory,
  turned around to his piano,
  and said with a grin...”

• “...‘you're gonna laugh’ and then
  proceeded to play Cigarettes and
  Chocolate Milk. It was a classic
  McLellan moment.”

  idea and its value to the firm that
  he donated the use of his camera
  equipment and staged the
  photos himself.”

• “www.love won the people's
  choice award for best original
  musical. Although, technically,
  it's an opera. Gregory's set
  blew them away.”

• “Gregory was asked to submit
  movie poster designs for The Yes
  Men Fix The World. He sent six
  in three hours. And he was
  on vacation.”

• “Gregory's paintings were the
  only work that could do battle
  with the giant Tiffany windows in
  the space. The consensus is
  that he won.”
