Pickin’ & Trimmin’

2011-12-14T23:14:22Z

At The Barbershop in Drexel, NC, the atmosphere is laid back, the conversation free, and the music a cut above the rest. Emmy® nominee, Official Selection of over 60 film festivals, and Best Documentary Short Film winner at the Florida Film Festival and Woodstock Film Festival. Matt Morris recently posted it to his Vimeo account.

It reminds me of a Big Smith, a local band in Springfield, MO. I would definitely get my hair cut in Drexel, NC if I lived there.

Jeep Illustration

Thought I’d draw my new Jeep tonight. Vector illustration is my favorite style. Here’s the final illustration and keyline view of just the Jeep. This time of year is so chaotic and this image looks so peaceful. What do you think?

Beautiful day for a bike ride

2011-08-30T20:09:27Z

My wife and I took our bikes for a spin this evening. The weather was a warm 70 degrees and Springfieldian’s were out taking full advantage of it. I’m looking forward to riding more this summer. I completed it in 10.86 miles in 1:05:59 according to Kinetic GPS for my iPhone. Kinetic is my preferred GPS app on my phone these days. Check out my route and kmz file.

Breakfast, Interrupted

2011-08-30T19:53:52Z

Every year the Marlin Network host a breakfast during the National Restaurant Association Show. Breakfast, Interrupted is a video invitation for an artful interpretation of the meal we know as breakfast. The event will take place May 21st at 8:00 in the Chicago Art Institute. The creative folks at deep dreamed up the idea behind the video. Burton Strobe executed the video to perfection! Congratulations to everyone involved, its great work.

The original video:

Here’s a look behind the scenes to show how we pulled it off:

The site has an online auction that benefits Share our Strength^®. Many professional photographers and illustrators have donated work inspired by the theme, Breakfast, Interrupted.

I had the privilege to design the website for the event, view the project in my portfolio, or visit the site.

Coca-Cola’s 125th Anniversary Design

2011-08-30T19:42:52Z

Coca-Cola is 125 years old. They are celebrating by giving their packaging a makeover, the result is a beautifully nostalgic design. The new can features the glamorous Varga girls of the 1940s.

Kudos to Bulletproof for the great work.

Our First Dance

They make it look easy on TV.

My beautiful wife and I invested in many hours of private ballroom dancing lessons. We even choreographed our dance to a particular song, Crazy Love by Michael Bublé. This video is the result, it was totally worth it. If you’re in Springfield, MO and are looking for Ballroom (or any kind of dance) lessons check out Sonshine’s Royal Ballroom. Don McCarty is a wonderful teacher and a terrific dancer. My favorite part of our routine was the lift and the open box sequence right after the lift.

Short Film with New Camera Gear

My office recently purchased a Canon 7D and this is my first opportunity to shoot some footage. I used a 35mm prime lens from my older Canon DSLR XTi. My father-in-law was kind enough to service and mow my yard while I sat around and filmed him while he did it. I’m pretty happy with the results especially since I didn’t have any kind of story in mind. Just capturing random shots in hopes to create an interesting short. Let me know what you think.
