Let the Lead Fly CD

2010-05-18T13:34:00.002-04:00

These CDs for the Wrinkle Neck Mules have BB's in the clear part of the spine for their new album Let the Lead Fly. Seems like a waste of space, might as well put something in it.

Ben Folds Poster

2010-03-23T18:13:00.008-04:00

3 color print by Team8 all made out of me lucky charms. Rabbit's foot hair, salt shaker shoulders, and a face made out of horseshoes and 4-leaf clovers. Available soon at T heGigGallery.

New American Plastics Logo

2010-03-23T18:00:00.007-04:00

One word for you, "plastics." American Plastics is a Dallas-based plastics company. I must say making eagle icons new and different is a challenge. They are everywhere in the business world, and it's tough to make them unique and stand out. I'm glad we took the minimalist approach.

The Erector Masthead

2010-03-23T17:56:00.003-04:00

The Erector is a new onion-like news source in Prague. The motto below the logo, will change randomly like the news.

Here are a few close-ups of the poster that was artistically shot with a 12-gauge shotgun. Watch the video to see how it was done. Thanks to the Wrinkle Neck Mules for 'hearing me out' on this idea.

Silver Eagle Distributors Logo

2010-02-06T11:30:00.008-05:00

This is the new logo for the largest Budweiser Distributor in the world. They've had an "eagle" logo for about the past 30 years and needed some help freshening it up. Sounds easy? No. This company has more than 600 bio-diesel trucks running around Texas, dozens of warehouses and buildings with signage, uniforms, patches, hats, business cards, cups, pencils, you name it-- they'll need a new logo on it. The whole job took almost a year.

Dark Star Orchestra Poster

2010-02-06T11:14:00.003-05:00

I've heard if you drink enough, and close your eyes DSO is The Grateful Dead. Some say they sound better. Anyway, thought it would be nice to have a throw-back to the old Jerry Garcia poster of his handprint with his famous missing finger, and fill it in with DSO info. Thanks to Kevin Dunleavy for the idea.

Poster Shoot (literally)

2010-02-05T16:50:00.005-05:00

Seriously, this could be the first screen printed posters that have ever been intentionally shot with a shot gun. Why? Because the name of the album is "LET THE LEAD FLY." And why the hell not? Thanks to John Scott, and Jack Shannon for the land and guns, it was a success and a ton of fun. To order a poster visit wrinkleneckmules.com Each poster is uniquely differrent, and screen printed on 18x24 beautiful blaze orange French Paper by our friends at team8press.

Modern Warfare Short Film (9 min)

2010-02-05T13:56:00.006-05:00

MW2 was the biggest launch in entertainment history. Hans Zimmer scored the soundtrack, for cryin' out loud. This game garnered more revenue than Harry Potter, NSYNC, Dark Knight... Below is a continuation of our Smack Talkin' characters Steve and Nick from the initial Madden 09 game launch from EA Sports.

We shot a series of behind the scenes videos that were leaked one at a time prior to the launch of MW2, available exculsively on walmart.com, along with a smack-talkin' tweet generator to get you and your friends/enemies fired up about the anticipated game launch.

Weird Al Poster

2008-08-18T21:24:00.007-04:00

I didn't get a chance to go to the show, but a friend told me he did a wardrobe change for every song. Big thanks to Trent Patterson for the idea to rip-off the classic Triple Johnny poster by Hatch Show Print. A fitting idea for a guy who rips-off classic songs.

My buddy Dixon.

2008-04-18T16:28:00.006-04:00

Thanks to all his friends, family, roommates, & brothers who gave him the best life a pure-bred Prince Edward Co. Virginia brown-dog could ever have. And special thanks to The Mules for the perfect sound track.

We'll miss him.

Willie Nelson Poster

2008-03-28T10:34:00.012-04:00

The National hosted the sold-out Willie Nelson show. There was a nice mix of young, old and really old. It was great to see everybody having a great time. Ol' Willie made a steady stream of eye contact with every lady in the house. What a great show.

GEICO Mrs. Butterworth

2008-03-28T10:28:00.003-04:00

Straight out of left field comes the newest addition to the celebrity campaign. Big thanks to Pinnacle Foods for lending us their Mrs. B character, and to Buster LA who did all the amazing cgi work.

GEICO Caveman Super Bowl TV

2008-02-15T16:29:00.005-05:00

How does GEICO recover from a sitcom based on their beloved caveman characters? Make a commercial about it. This spot directly addresses the tv show, about them-- with no disrespect to Joe Lawson, the writer at Martin who came up with the whole idea, and the tv show. We all know that he would have done the same thing. Don't kill me Joe. You can make a spot about my sitcom when I make one.

The National Theater Logo

2008-02-15T16:20:00.005-05:00

This is a fun project for a new music venue in downtown Richmond, Virginia. The scope of this project was to create something that is cool, hip and anchored in the unique Vaudeville roots of the building. The doors will be reopening Feb 22 08 for the first time in... a long time, after a small $15MM renovation to the historic landmark. The logo shows the three muses for theatre on top of a heraldic seal for the new rock venue.

Little Richard GEICO TV

2008-02-15T15:52:00.005-05:00

We met up with Little Richard in his hotel suite at the Beverly Wilshire to talk about his wardrobe and go over a few lines. Unreal. His clothes belong in a Hard Rock Cafe somewhere in Orlando, and he let me take them all back to my hotel room.

Burt Bacharach GEICO TV

2008-02-15T15:38:00.006-05:00

Bob Meagher, Holly Flaisher, Steve Bassett and I put our mark on pop culture with this campaign. Chris Smith, the documentary filmmaker, made this simple idea come to life. It was a fantastic and bizzare experience working with all the celebrities one right after another. Burt Bacharach was our first spot of the sieries, and set the tone for the 11 spots to follow.

Sirius Sattelite Radio TV

2008-02-15T14:56:00.002-05:00

Subaru Logo Redesign

2008-02-14T16:39:00.006-05:00

When Subaru decided to enter the premium car category, they felt the logo used in all their advertising could be freshened up. Being a Jr. Art Director, I was supposed to help the CEO of Temerlin McClain make a PowerPoint presentation to the execs at Subaru North America. I scanned in a logo from one of the vehicles and used it in the some of the slides. During the presentation, the Subaru execs noticed the new treatment of their logo, and changed it right there on the spot. Thanks to hours of retouching and photography from Dallas' Scott Harben it still holds up today. Click on the image to see the transformation.

GEICO Buzz

2008-02-14T16:11:00.004-05:00

This campaign took on a life of its own. It was picked up by Good Morning America, The Today Show, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, Fox News, MSNBC, and SNL even did a skit. If you do a youtube search for GEICO celebs, you get tons of home-made commercials from pros, kids, and the occasional freakshow.

2008-02-07T14:10:00.001-05:00
