A series of print posters created to promote IsoSketch, my new iPad app. Unique in that the artwork featured was actually created using the app itself on the iPad, exported as vector and finished / printed on the desktop.

I recently finished a long-term, on-site project at Apple. I can’t show any work here, but can say that it was a great experience.

A photo of mine from a shoot with Thao Nguyen is in the December 2009 issue of SPIN Magazine, accompanying a full-page article. The article is also online. Thao was great to work with, and her music is fantastic.

Barclays Bank iShares Pitch

Ogilvy West had a large share of Barclay’s Bank iShares digital work when we pitched a full 360º brand campaign. The idea was simple: in the current (terrible) economic landscape of 2009, there are still things that are not impossible. In fact, when diversifying your investments using iShares exchange traded funds, there is a lot that is possible. And that’s how the ispossible campaign was born.

This demo reel highlights some of the digital work I art directed and concepted for the pitch. We had lots going on here… a veritable cornucopia of buzzword technology (most of which we were able to prototype in-house.) All supporting the idea of ispossible.

Integrated Campaign: San Francisco Environment

Recycling moments happen all the time, every day. Most of the time it’s as easy as a simple choice: where do I throw it away? It’s just a matter of changing a mindset. These moments are what we tapped into with the Recycling Moments campaign for San Francisco Environment, the San Francisco organization in charge of educating the public about recycling. This city is one of the most progressive cities in the country when it comes to recycling–and now, composting–but there is always room for improvement until we reach zero waste.

Art direction for integrated campaign to promote recycling in San Francisco. Ogilvy West, San Francisco. See my portfolio for more of the work.

We also created an 8 bit-style game, “Recycle Slam.” I composed the soundtrack using Reason.

Poster: Great Lake Swimmers

Poster for the Great Lake Swimmers when they played at the Bottom of the Hill, in April, 2009. Bandleader Anthony Dekker is a class act, and even signed one of the copies for me. Same process as the White Denim poster; multiple pass inkjet on handmade paper in lieu of actual screenprinting.

Check out the Great Lake Swimmers. If you don’t like them, you are likely dead inside.
Poster is 13″ x 21″
