Dyslexia

I had an idea for a highly textured piece using overlapping copy, and Dyslexia was an easy subject choice. To see the full sized image, check out my Assorted Creativity.

Where is Here?

2012-04-17T03:31:25Z

Is this a chilling vision of a future urban cityscape where the human spirit is crushed by the corporate elite? Is this an upside down, third generation photocopy of undercounter plumbing I found at work? You be the judge.

Stella's Lounge 30 Second Spot

2011-12-08T03:52:51Z

I created this spot with the help of several friends. No security guards chasing us off this time! I approach the owner of this fine establishment with my proposal and was granted permission to shoot. I'm happy with the results on a thematic level, however my home equipment is lacking (at best) and wish the video could have been of a higher quality.

Considering that my camera and lighting rig can be bought on ebay for less than $300 combined, I think this turned out well for what it was, a fun Youtube only project.

I'm producing several spots for Stella's Lounge in downtown Grand Rapids soon. I took their logo and animated it.

City Hall Music Video

2011-06-20T15:49:04Z

My friend and I made this lip-dub music video over the weekend. The camera was placed on an arm I was holding which was also weighted and balanced to absorb some of the jolts and jitters.

I'm not an actor, so I wanted to give my friend a shot on video while I held the camera in a more traditional way. I would also have enjoyed a rolling light box to keep things consistent as I walked. Alas this was never meant to be, as we only got 2 takes before security asked us to leave.

The song is "City Hall" from The Dog Traders.

Grunge Type in Mainstream Advertising?

2011-06-08T16:07:24Z

I was waiting for a CNN video to play this morning, and the ad pre-roll was for new Newton Fruit Thins. What I saw took me by surprise. I couldn't get that spot to play again, so I went to the Newtons' website...

That's right, Grunge fonts in mainstream advertising! Grunge has never completely left us since the 90's, frequently pairing with vector vomit backgrounds that are so over used these days. I doubt Nabisco has assured a new era of design, but it was interesting to see a throwback to my early college days.

Women's Tank Top Design

Man, I'm really on a roll! Check out the women's tank top I created that inspired me to make my skate hoodie.

Photo Restoration

Here is another photo I restored. This started as very damaged negative and ended up a salvaged family memory.

Greathouse Logo... Burger?

2011-05-11T13:24:20Z

I know my logo is awsome, but what it were so awsome it could cook meat? Check out other examples of my logo bombs at my projects page.

Greathouse Logo Hoodie

2011-05-11T13:20:48Z

Just as I've finished my new home office project, I've started another.
Once I created my logo, I decided to use it in as many unrelated ways as posable.

It's my goal to saturate the world with this typography.
