Polaroidness

I recently came across this fun new app called "Poladroid" that color shifts your digital photos into that classic liquid crystal tone. I've never been a fan of those "one click photo filters" but this one does such a decent job, its worth trying out. Its interactive too, so you actually click and shake the polaroid to develop your nostalgia. While fun and interactive the first few times, it becomes a bit of a chore and reminds me of the photos I used to take as an impatient kid. Anyways, here's a few that I have tried. Some pictures work better than others depending on their initial contrast/hue and saturation. You can get the app here. Plus they have a flickr group here, so you can upload your photos to a gallery.

New Post, New Look

So I decided to revamp the look and feel of the ol' blog, well I guess this is just a day for change. Heres a new pic to go along with it. Growing up I had this comic called Duck Force... I'm experimenting, trying to bring these guys back to life, so here's a first attempt.

Award

So a friend of mine sent me THIS link this morning. My agency won an award for startwhereyouarevt.org. I created most of the illustrations and the bird animation found within the site. (If you scroll down far enough you can see it.) A lot of sweat went into making this site, so congrats to everyone that was involved in making this thing come to life. I played a small role, but i'm glad to have been a part in creating the overall look.

World Hunger FIN

World Hunger

Poor choice of words. I know and I promised myself that I wouldn't get all opinionated on my blog, but this is my reaction to what I saw on the morning shows today. The media is so excited about how a certain gazillion dollar pop princess' appearance was on the VMA's last night... WHO CARES! She still is swimming like Scrooge McDuck in a sea of money while millions of kids in the U.S. and around the world starve... Also, they're reporting on the poor box office weekend took on a very serious tone. It was like a natural disaster hit or an important historical figure died. They never report on the issues plaguing the world, just the ones that make us forget about the ones that matter. OK... i'm done ;).

Little Peeps

Unicel Commercial

So this is a project that i've been working on for about a month now... It finally aired so I can share it with the world. This is a commercial promoting an upcoming back to school campaign for Unicel. The creative director wanted to keep the look consistant with the print & web materials. Certain elements, such as the unicorn and thunderbird I used from the print campaign, but the beginning classroom scene I came up with from the initial script. We were pretty excited about this project since it was our first in-house production. The creative director and writer came up with the story, I storyboarded and animated everything and the music was composed by one of our producers and myself. Click on the image to check it out!

DragonManThing

I had a little down time at work today so i decided to draw with on a piece of paper instead of the Wacom. Crazy, huh? I might stick to it.
