After the release of Ask You In Gray’s album, Twin Paradox, we created a music video using a GoPro Hero 2, a Canon G12, and a Canon EOS Rebel T1i to promote the track, End of the Line. Written and directed by Trey Tatum and myself, then shot and produced by myself, we created a story of ‘normal adult male’ that finds tries to hold on to his youth and fight mortality. The video is shot in Portland, Oregon at Overlook Park, near White Owl Social Club, and in a downtown office space.

I had the honor of shooting and editing a clip of the Pacific Northwest writer and poet, Tim Sproul as he read a couple poems from his new book at Al’s Den in Portland. Richmond Fontaine provided some awesome back-track to the reading.

As the second fan-requested topic-song, Saint BernRad was created to fulfill the topic: “write a song about my saint bernard’s inability to choose proper formal attire”. Trey Tatum and myself discussed the best way to show a fun, light-hearted video representation of the song while keeping it dog-focused. With a GoPro HD Pro 2 in hand, we marched down Hawthorne Avenue in Portland, Oregon and sang the song.

Using hard-ground, sugar lift, or spit bite techniques, you can create hand-formed scenes that come together with a bit of an unpredictable outcome after the acid-dip.

Lithography (using limestone slabs [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithography]) was one of my favorite printing methods. Below are a selection of my own ‘artist pressed’ lithographies.

This included a 2-phase campaign teasing the release of Coors Light’s 16-ounce Aluminum Pint. The following video and imagery are highlighting the first phase of the project. It’s purpose was to raise awareness  and build excitement for the 16-ounce screw-top aluminum bottle. http://www.coorslight.com

Eduardo the Samurai Toaster is a fast-paced run’n'gun game paying homage to games from the past like Contra. Semnat Studios needed a website that would be easily digested by interested gamers and quickly push them to the WiiWare website to learn more about downloading the game, or simply to downloading the game content available on the website. http://www.eduardothesamuraitoaster.com/

Beer drinkers can take their empty Keystone Light box, pop out the perforated hole, and play a friendly game with their booze-buddies. I was tasked to concept and design an online version of that game that could easily be shared through social networks. http://www.keystonelight.com

Through their generous Caps for Vets campaign, High Life drinkers can collect their bottle caps and can tabs and submit them to retailers. High Life will pay $.10 per cap or tab and all the money goes toward funding experiences for the vets, themselves. http://www.millerhighlife.com
