Newpiece submission (before it went to my partner). www.newpiece.com

I wasn't happy with the final piece. My partner decided to go against the rules established by Newpiece. So, I decided to go
against that piece in my portfolio. Here's what I sent to my partner.

Peace Poster

20"x30" double sided poster designed exclusively, but not explicitly, for the One Club of NY. The piece went in a political prop-
aganda show in October 2004, and was used for all the promotional materials. We wanted to show the hypocrisy that is our
country. They say peace but mean war. In collaboration with Nessim Higson www.iamalwayshungry.com. Recipe for wheatpaste

If you would like to post these posters around your area, or just print up some for your wall, please contact me and I will
gladly send you the high-res files. Take them to Kinko's and it only cost a couple of dollars per print. You could down size the
file and print out more for less money.

Bush Illustration

While we're on the subject, here's an illustration I did. Bush looks so tired and worn. You okay ol' Georgy? Is the world gettin'
to you? Are people starting to see the real you? Can you feel the pressure?

Man Made - 'Human?' book

I did this for a book called 'Human?'. The requirements were to create anything visual using original or copy write free imagery.
The work could be anything that had to do with the human condition. Dimensions are roughly 20.7"x8.3".

Faceless

I wonder what it'd be like if nobody had a face.

Angel

Originally this was designed for a t-shirt, but it never got printed. Now it's an art piece until I decide to put it on a t-shirt.

Identities

These are a few logos recently finished. More work coming from these brands in the very near future. I'm hard at work on some
of them now.

 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dedicate Magazine

The assignment was to design a piece based on the phrase 'Inner Space: Introspection'. The dimensions are 9.45"x11.62". Only
one page ended up in the magazine. In collaboration with Eric Tu. He took the photos, while I had a heavy, ceramic rabbit head
on top of my head. We worked together on the concept and had a lot of fun shooting in downtown LA.

From Agony Within t-shirt

The band wanted a shirt that put an image to their name. They're friends of mine, and a pretty talented hardcore band. Check
them out. www.fromagonywithin.com

Steadfast t-shirts
- Not printed (the t-shirts below are manipulated in photoshop to look printed).

The client disliked the one with the girl on it because it represented sex. I did the one with the television family after that and
they still didn't like it. I gave up because of the way things were being handled. Now I have these designs that would be nice to
make into shirts without the steadfast lettering on them.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Constantine- Design for the 'Constantine' movie marketing site (client - Warner Bros.).

A film based off the comic book series 'Hellblazer'. We presented comps that were too experimental for the client, so we ended
up with a nice looking EPK site. I'm really pleased with the way the whole site turned out, although it could have been better if
the client was a little more daring. (By the way, the home page you see below has been replaced with some horrible rendition,
for the DVD release, but the rest of the site is the same.) www.constantinemovie.com

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

High Tension - Comprehensive for the 'High Tension' movie marketing site (client - Lions Gate Films).

A French horror film distributed by LGF. For these comps, I was given some screen shots to work with, but they didn't have a
logo or a one sheet, at the time. I was given the liberty to create the entire look, including the logo, which was a lot of fun. I
did several sketches for this film. The job ended up getting pulled, for reasons beyond my control, and given to another studio.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Danny Deckchair - Comprehensive for the 'Danny Deckchair' movie marketing site (client - Lions Gate Films).

A comedy / love story distributed by LGF. I came up with the idea to mimic a 'View Master' experience. You know those red
goggles that you hold up to the light to view slides? I know you played with one as a kid. The site would be as if the user is
looking through one of those.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The Perfect Man
- Comprehensive for the 'The Perfect Man' movie marketing site (client - Universal).

I know what your thinking. "The Perfect Man?? Hilary Duff?? What the hell is wrong with you?". Yeah, I know, I've completely
sold out. Just look at me, I'm an utter hypocrite. This is the price you have to pay for having a day job in the entertainment
industry. What both of these woman represent is one of the many downfalls of our "appearance is everything" culture. All that
aside, I really like the way this ended up looking, so I had to show you.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Scion
- Comprehensive for an instructional cd-rom to be placed in every Scion car.

I created a look that I thought went well with what the client was asking for; "young and hip" ( what a horrible phrase ). I
mixed organic collaging with hard edged geometric shapes.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Beyond the Sea - Design for the 'Beyond the Sea' movie marketing site (client - Lions Gate Films)

I had to design the site based off a look that Ness had set for the teaser page. He had the image of Kevin Spacey, as Bobby
Darin, in a very moody soft and colorful blue setting you see below. I took that feel and designed out the navigation and the
rest of the site with treated photography as a backdrop for a clean informational layout. www.beyondtheseathemovie.com

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Beyond the Sea - Proposal for Lions Gate Films

In collaboration with Nessim Higson // IAAH while working at Genex. We had to come up with a creative way to pitch and
sell Genex to the client (LGF). They didn't like our site concepts that were pitched, but loved the proposal so much that they
went with us anyway.
