    “Daddy, where does the internet come from?”

    So, a while ago, I worked with a company that will remain nameless, to produce boards for a competitive pitch for a commercial for a cable company that shall remain nameless.  Why all the namelessness?  Well, in the end, we lost the pitch to a company that shall remain nameless.  So all the hard work…

  • DSW & The Fox House

    Last year, on Halloween, I boarded the DSW commercial that is airing right now (early March, 2013): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rwY5c7qOnKE&list=UUy9YrUdKJxzx6FPQrD_PytA&index=3 This commercial was a lot of fun to work on, and also very different, because I was up close and personal with the production, and in this case, it was a real treat.  I received the scripts…

    Old Navy Funnovations Inc!

    [singlepic id=594 w=320 h=240 float=]   Well well well, Its been almost a year since I worked on these Old Navy spots and so it’s probably ok to talk about them now.  For those of you who don’t watch TV (the only excuse you might have for not seeing these ubiquitous commercials), these Old Navy…

  • Caveman!

    Caveman!

    So here’s a commercial I worked on back in April.  I usually like to wait a while before I consider it “safe” to discuss a project on this blog, because, well, it’s not a good thing to release production artwork before the commercial airs!  And even though I didn’t see this one air, I know…

  • Hockey meets Honda

    Hockey meets Honda

    Earlier this year I worked on a Honda commercial that featured hockey stars Nicklas Lidstrom and Corey Perry.  In the spot, the athletes leave the sports arena and head to their Honda Pilot.  Once inside, they are shocked to find hundreds of hats falling (as happens when an athlete scores a hat trick; 3 goals)…

  • Not Just Commercials…. “Race at Target Field”

                Many of my motion-graphics clients produce shorts and promotional materials as well as broadcast commercials.  A few months ago I storyboarded a sequence to pitch a kind of animated short that screens at Target Field, home of the Minnesota Twins.  Part of a larger campaign featuring a handful of…

  • Zombies!

    I was trying to think of something interesting to post, and came across some boards I did for this Walking Dead Sweepstakes/Bing commercial.  This was kinda fun for me, since I never get to draw zombies; usually my assignments involve drawing healthy, happy people, nothing scary.  I’m a fan of the Walking Dead comic book,…

  • “Monopoly” Lottery

    “Monopoly” Lottery

    Here’s a fun series of boards. Kinda wacky.  A “Monopoly”-obsessed man comes home and plays the lottery.  His whole life revolves around monopoly…  Some pretty funny visuals in here.  I think I did a pretty good job of drawing the oversize monopoly pieces. [slideshow id=8]
