Obligatory Post about AI
Well, AI is here, so what do we think? So much has been said already by so many others, and to be honest, I’m still wrapping my head around the implications already. To be specific, when I say AI, I’m referring to the broad concepts of text-to-image Generative AI stuff like Midjourney and Dall-E and…

Rough Sketch vs. Final
A quick one today! I just noticed that this updated version of wordpress has this fun option of interactive image sliders- so that you can compare A/B images and appreciate the differences and similarities! I have below an excerpt from a project a few years back- again, depicting a family enjoying nearly being “there” with…

Sophos – Cyber Security
Boy, those viruses, huh? They’re everywhere, trying to wreck our lives. Luckily Sophos is there to scan and sweep them away. From our computers, at least. This was a fun, quick job that needed a very specific tone in order to convey the sense of dystopian angst- the directors sent references that were very film…

AT&T “Market Mishap” Storyboards!
A while back, I got called in to my good clients at DirecTV (now AT&T) to work on a spot for their Adworks campaign- a commercial about commercials! How funny! But really, it makes sense to make sure your advertising dollars aren’t going to waste, right? That’s why you hire ‘Ol Maxy, right? and then…

“War Planet” Storyboards
Hi! So here’s a fun one, if, I guess, you think war and conquest is fun… just kidding, of course you do! What could be more fun then kicking your friends’ butts in online multiplayer combat via iOS or Android device? NOTHING #LOL But seriously, I LOVE DRAWING WAR, something about it just flows out…

Intel Series pt 5: “Replay”
Here’s another in the Intel series- quickly executed shoot boards for an Intel campaign highlighting tech innovations in daily life. This one’s silly- a dude gets hit in the face with a water balloon- a slow motion video captures the impact and aftermath- EPIC PRANK. All that’s left is to edit and post it…

Intel Series pt 4: “Hello”
Another quick one for the “Intel” series- a series of closeup portraits of tech users from all walks of life and points on the globe. No matter who you are, your tech is as personal as your… uh, personality. You unique thing, you. The client had cast all the actors for the spot already, so…

Birchbox: Better Way
We live in a pretty fascinating time- one needn’t even leave their home to shop for the rarified necessities! The selection available to us online is infinite, and it’s up to operators like Birchbox to curate the best of the best and bring it to our doorsteps. Meanwhile, the “old guard,” if you will, are…

Taco Bell commercial pitch- Rubik’s Cube
Here’s some storyboards I did for a pitch for a recent Taco Bell spot. The premise is, you can use an app to order whatever kind of taco bell food item you want, encouraging you to try new items and new combinations. It’s like having a Taco Bell Rubik’s cube! And here’s the final commercial.…

T-Mobile/iPad Air Storyboards
This commercial apparently aired during Superbowl 2014, but I must have missed it. The concept was, initially, to show closeups of iPad users of all walks of life interacting with their iPad Airs and eventually packing them up into various conveyances and resolve on a single user leaving his home and walking out into the…

Years in the making… Lost Treasure Hunt
In the early stages of my career (my “faking it” phase), I advertised my services on Craigslist and got involved with all kinds of fun projects that never amounted to anything. I’m proud now to say that Lost Treasure Hunt, a project from those Craigslist days, has developed to a point that it has top-grade…

New Website Layout!
Time for a new look! I’ve updated the site a bit and included a new theme, “Virality,” which kind of suits this format better, in some ways. I miss some things but overall I think it will be easier for visitors to navigate and see more of my work at-a-glance. The old posts are still…
