I’m currently working on the brand and other promotion material for Tough Guy, USA—the U.S. franchise of the infamous race of death over in the United Kingdom. Check out the video above to have your mind absolutely blown away. … I’m still reeling.
This should be a fun project.

I’m Here is Spike Jones’ most recent venture. It’s a short (?30 minutes) film about Love… and Robots. While there really is nothing shockingly new about the premise (I mean, it’s just a story about love between two robots), but there is something shockingly real and heartfelt in the delivery—it has soul.
This is yet another great film presented by Absolut. It’s kind of interesting their patronage of the art world right now… it’s like they’re the Medicis or something.

A while ago, I posted a couple things about an art project that I did design for, titled I am Chris Purdie. Just tonight I found this video that explains and documents it better than I ever attempted to do on here. It’s pretty interesting, I think. Check it out if you have a few minutes (or 7). I’ve been told that catalogs have been printed, but I’ve yet to receive them. As soon as I do, I’ll post some images on here. Until then…

A while back, I designed a little promo/demo piece for/with my good friend, Micah. It’s super weird and creepy and awkward, but there’s something about it that I really quite like—even if I’m the only one. Micah stained the wood and mounted the prints on there. And there’s a CD clip/nipple (i don’t know what they’re called?!) on the back to put the demo disk on. I think it’s a pretty unique demo.
And, speaking of demo, if you are ever looking for someone to score a movie, commercial, motion piece, or otherwise for you… check him out. Even if he wasn’t a best friend and a band-mate for nigh unto a decade, I would (and do) use this guy for all my musical needs. Check this piece out that he did for Jon’s Film is Not Dead workshop… Super8 footage by Leo; Edited and designed, actually, by Micah, as well. (Also, some closer shots of the demo after the jump.) (Also also, isn’t is strangely convenient that those last three links all happen to be stuff that I designed as well… unintentional, believe it or not) (Also^3, that’s my beautiful, giggling, cake-top bride—suzie—in the adidas slip-on’s.)

There’s a lot of buzz surrounding next-next week’s release of Coraline. And, from what I’ve seen so far, it seems to be totally justified. The website is incredible and there’s a ton really interesting making-of-type videos on there—like this one:
And, another random cool thing about new Coraline Dunks, limited to 1000 pairs that can only be won with a secret message after the premiere showing on Feb 6th. Phil Knight, the co-founder and chairman of Nike, is also the owner of Laika— the production studio behind Coraline—so that’s gotta be where the connection lies… pretty cool, though.
