Mastodon 'Deathbound' Music Video
Ha! Watch the video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U97s7OPnS8A . This video was concepted and executed by Authority Films; an extraordinary production company, in tandem with a group of very talented ATL artists. The Puppet museum in Atlanta was a catalyst for me moving to GA. There's a large community of fellow puppet builders here. Although we constructed our puppets individually, I was thrilled to meet and work as part of this creative collective...like a fury Borg.
Owl Heads
Client: Adult Swim
Project: Owl Head Masks
Dream project! Adult Swim wanted 5 oversized realistic and creepy owl mascot heads for marketing and promotion use. This was a rush job spanning three weeks, but the cleanup at my house is an ongoing project. I will add a link to the video bumps made with them once I have a link and the credit information. In the mean time: watch Adult Swim and keep your eyes peeled.
March to the Sea
Client: Sebastian Stark
Project: Album Cover
A rush album cover for Sebastian
Fish Baby
Client: Adult Swim
Project: Mural
This mural is based on a vintage propaganda image. The orginal artwork did not work for the space. Prior to painting, I composited additional imagery in Photoshop, to better compliment the room.
Comic-Con Peep Boxes
Client: Adult Swim
Project: Peep Boxes
This little glutton is Bernard Monsenouir. When the original peep boxes returned to Atlanta I reconstructed them to fit in smaller spaces for the Adult Swim booth at Comic-Con. However the booth was constructed to display 4 boxes and we only had 3 made. Being very short on time it would have been difficult to find an animal on-line, wait for delivery, and complete construction on time....so I built Bernard!
A Flower
Client: Jan Jennings Crofford
Project: Fine art
I meet Jan Jennings Crofford at a wedding while awkwardly shirking my bridesmaid responsibilities. I don't remember much from that evening except for Jan. She is now a close friend and an infinite source of inspiration and encouragement. Jan commissioned me to create this piece as an above-mantel living-room focal piece.
BELOW Something I painted next to a real Emmy! So close to success ;) i [personally] could care less about celebrity: but my paintings are all about "the looks".
American River
Project: CD Packaging
This is album art for an artist called Tommy & The High Pilots. http://www.myspace.com/thehighpilots. The clients wanted cover artwork which combined the Santa Barbara Pier and the Brooklyn Bridge, at night, with fireworks SO it's a fairly complex composite. We decided to go a very surreal and paint-like with this because the perspective/light of the source files were completely incompatible on a realistic level.

Adult Swim On-Air Bumps
These bumps were made from pictures taken of my peep boxes by photo-poet: Michael Cahill. They aired on Adult Swim and during Bonaroo. The Boxes just made their way home and now I'm resizing/re-building them for Comic Con. If you've read this far into a boring post, here's some good news: There will be a new addition to the family...

I'll be there, hopefully Platypus will come with. "I Keep It Classic" deserves a plethora of hip praises... which I sound stupid saying.

Kid Green
Client: Discovery Channel
Format: On-Air
If you are not familiar with Raygun Productions you should be. Seriously. Check em out at http://raygun.com/ Do it...but on a separate tab, and then come back to my site...otherwise it's kinda like I'm just typing to myself. This is one of numerous illustrations I created for a [Raygun produced] Discovery Channel commercial. The purpose of the children-aimed project was to illuminate eco-friendly lifestyle choices. Hooray!

Handsome Clothing
Client: Dick Handsome

Dick Handsome is a new clothing line which will be available for purchase within the month. The original logo was developed before I began, but I've been the graphic designer from that point on. Dick Handsome has provided numerous key elements essential to defining quality apparel. I'm thrilled! There's nothing more disappointing than having a great design on printed on a Hane's-Beefy-Tee.
Vitesse Exchange
Client: Vitesse Exchange
I wandered into Vitesse Exchange during the Castle Berry Art Stroll. It's lovely boutique which showcases every item with consideration. Several days later I was contacted by one of the co-owners who needed a rush event postcard.
My Daily Thread Website
Client: My Daily Thread
For several months I've been working with VisionKwest Media on a re-design of the My Daily Thread website. The superb quality of work and creative vision of VKM has left me thoroughly impressed. Check em out here: http://www.visionkwestmedia.com/. The My Daily Thread site has recently launched, and I think it looks fantastic! http://www.mydailythread.com/
Peep Show Boxes
Client: Adult Swim
This project was created for the Adult Swim Carnival; a traveling show making it's way across the country. I constructed 3 large scenes over 4 days using taxidermied animals and concepts provided by the Williams Street creative team. When they return to Atlanta I'll freshen them up and they'll head to Comic-Con. Don't Judge me for the lousy iphone photos, after 4 days I was not in photo-mode!
