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…

Business is Personal
It’s been nearly two years since I’ve updated this blog, and it’s been a hell of a ride; and continues to be so, as there’s currently the COVID-19 pandemic getting some serious traction in LA (and thus the entertainment industry), forcing some major (hopefully temporary) shifts in what constitutes business as usual for myself and…

Talk, Read, Sing! First Five California – Storyboards
Here’s a very fun project I did a while back, that I’m excited to share- storyboards for the First 5 California “Brainy Birds” commercial, which was part of their Talk, Read, Sing! campaign. Basically: talk, read, and sing to your kids, and watch their little brains grow! What a fun message. And I can attest…

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…

Love, Depicted
I’ll leave out the specifics on what product/company these frames were advertising for; suffice to say, it was a collection of short spots of families and loved ones reflecting on the nature of their relationships (with some product placement tastefully featured in the periphery). Rather, Let’s consider these boards an example of how I really…

Nutella “Spread the Happiness” Storyboards
Woohoo! In addition to the previous Nutella spot, I happened to do the boards for the most recent follow up- “Spread the Happiness!” Once again produced by my great clients at Brand New School. They are playing this spot a LOT on TV right now- which is great, since it rocks! It’s fun, it’s pop, it’s…

Nissan Rogue “Launch” Storyboards
How many storyboard frames do you need for a 30 second commercial? It’s an interesting question. Sometimes you just need a handful of “pitch boards”, to sell the idea along, so maybe 5-8 frames in that case. Sometimes you are drawing “shoot boards” which are critically important to be as clear and explanatory as possible,…

Nutella – Spread the Happy
Here’s a fun quick one! I boarded out this spot for my great clients at Brand New School– they do great work and are always involved in fun, whimsical, creative projects. Nutella was no exception. The concept was clear and well developed- and they had great designers on the project, so I was able to…

Clorox to the Rescue
Earlier this year I had the pleasure of doing a BUNCH of shoot boards for my clients at 29 Black on their Clorox spots, among other things. Four spots in total, and they are pretty simple, so not much explanation needed, but they all go along with the theme of “Your house gets messy and…

Disney Princess Fash’ems Storyboards
Every little girl is destined to grow up to be a beautiful princess and play with their princess friends. Better get ’em training early! Best way I know how is to give ’em the latest princess toy craze: Disney Princess Fash’ems! Fash’ems are unlike any other doll toy out there- as they have the amazing…

Airborne “Everyday”
Everybody needs to take Airborne Everyday vitamins everyday, everybody knows that. Why, no, I’m not a doctor. I just draw them in commercials. Medical advice aside, this was a pretty simple and fun spot to work on. Brought a little bit of color to the project with the vitamin “snow” effect, which seemed to work…

Reeses Puffs Breakfast Cereal Storyboards
We see our young hero approach his ultramodern kitchen and select his breakfast of choice- Reeses, of course. It’s the only cereal replete with musical talent. Each little particle of puffed wheat is a symphony in the crunching. That’s clear. But what you may not realize is no force on earth can contain said symphony…
