  • New Media

    New Media

    So, it’s no secret that all of entertainment and more broadly tech in general has undergone a major series of contractions- layoffs have affected every Studio and WFH job. There’s been major reversals in the unprecedented demand of post-covid “peak media”; Labor strikes in Hollywood; AI technologies rendering whole professions redundant; and interest rates AKA…

  • Obligatory Post about AI

    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…

  • Dove and Twitter #SpeakBeautiful

    Dove and Twitter #SpeakBeautiful

    It’s a brave new world out there folks… a brave new social media world, full of funny cat videos and epic fails.  It’s a force for good AND evil, as we’ve all experienced, no doubt.  A double-edged sword, if you will.  You can say anything to anyone and everyone, practically anonymously, and lets just say,…

  • New Website Layout!

    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…

  • AT&T Family Plan Storyboards

    Here’s a quick one- a storyboard for a competitive pitch for an AT&T spot.  The idea is, everyone in the family has their own phone, and we see them coming together into a kind of “collage” that shows their connectedness- with a silly theme.  We didn’t get the job, but the boards are cool.  Enjoy!…

  • Pitch Boards – Living Social

    Pitch Boards – Living Social

    Here’s some boards I did last year for one of my agency clients, presenting campaign ideas for Living Social, that cool company that sells discounted experiences to adventurous adults.  That’s the basic theme of these boards, to show people having fun doing things they wouldn’t normally do, like skeet shooting (for girls), painting nude models,…

  • 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…

  • One of my commercials airing now… NASDAQ OMX CENTURY

    So, I’m sitting at home watching Mad Men, one of my favorite shows, and during the commercial break I see one of the commercials I worked on recently!  For those of you who don’t work in commercial production, it’s really a treat to see a commercial that you worked on, aired randomly, when you are…

  • Saw one of my commercials on TV… DSW “Where’d you get those shoes?”

    Saw one of my commercials on TV… DSW “Where’d you get those shoes?”

    [slideshow id=13] A couple of months ago I met with a new client and worked on their DSW commercial for a couple of days.  It was rainy then, as it is now… good day to write about it.   So anyway I worked on this shoe commercial and it was actually pretty hard!  I did…
