CELLULAR SOUTH TV

A campaign I art directed for Cellular South, which is supposedly the largest privately-owned telecom company in the U.S. Superb animation by Nathan Love out of NYC, who patiently worked with me on numerous character revisions and edits during the course of the project.








GET TO KNOW 'EM TV CAMPAIGN

Here are spots that I did with writer Rob Franks while we were at Hunt Adkins. The players were virtual unknowns, so we gave them exaggerated traits to turn them into modern tall-tales and thusly gave people a reason to care about the unproven squad.

TIMBERWOLVES BRAND BOOK









This was the first project I worked on for the Timberwolves, and was intended to define the look and feel for all of the new brand work to follow. The brand book came with a CD and PDF that defined type treatments, textures backgrounds, photo treatments and anything else you would need to create visuals in the new style.

TIMBERWOLVES SKYWAY OOH




Some examples of large backlit posters featuring the Timberwolves players done in the new style.

VOLT STUDIOS





VOLT is a local video post-production house that we worked with frequently at Martin Williams. I made this new logo for them, as well as some examples of video treatments for their countdown screens and other in-house visual needs. They had specifically cited the movie "Metropolis" as a source of visual inspiration for this project.

RESISTANCE FIGHTER





Agriculture isn't the most exciting subject matter, but I like how this campaign turned out from a visual standpoint. Resistance Fighter is a campaign to raise awareness about new weeds that are becoming chemically resistant to Glyphosate (Roundup). This campaign was intended to look like resistance propaganda fused with farmer stuff.

SUBARU RALLY LOGO EXPLORATION


Some rough comps I did for an agency in Japan. Subaru was looking for a logo to mark a milestone in rally victories. The eventual logo was supposed to include the phrase, "Merging Driver & Technology For 50 Victories", which always sounded like borderline Engrish to me.
