I'll Be Gone Till November…

Been on a crazy grind since August, between AKQA, Roughneck, and the Fam I've seriously had no days off. So I thought I would hit ya'll with a Mega Post to give you some highlights from the past few months.



One of the big reasons things became so busy in August was the ATTENTION I received from my Degree Dept. for my Senior Project a complete re-brand, case study, and fully functioning Interactive Campaign for Southwest Airlines.





We've been workin with Team Jaded for awhile on It's a Rough Life.
On Oct. 6th we released the first episode of the pilot season and
are currently on Episode 6.

Ep:01 The Rough Side of Utah pt.1


Ep:02 Rough Side of Utah pt.2
Ep:03 Rough Side of Utah "Finale"
Ep:04 The Phoenix Saga Begins
Ep:05 The Road to Cowtown

Ep:06 MIA





There was a calender miscommunication with this years BART TOUR, so we had little to no time to promote.I figured a short promo spot would be more effective than a flyer. Thanks to some outside help from Marc Secher and Greg Hansen, I was able to squeeze this one out, CLOSE TO 2K HITS IN 5 DAYZ with embeds even in Japan and Germany…NOT BAD.





Halloween was off the hook, lyric went "full" Dracula and Audi dropped this sweet commercial a few days before. It was all done in San Francisco in-house by AKQA & AKQA Film SF. Originally intended to just be seeded through digital channels and social media, it was loved so much that it ended up in Audi's national cable TV rotation!

Stay In Front.



There is nothing I don't love about this. Everything about the intro describes the film title, especially because its filmed as if the team is bombing a hill the entire time.That type of thinking and composition blows my mind, add perfect audio, title animation, location, skaters, tricks...nuff said.

Im hyped on BLVD and their Art Dept.

THANK YOU BASED GOD



Not typically into @THEHUNDREDS but I definitely would rock this
@LILBTHEBASEDGOD collabo #TYBG

SCHOOLDAYS



For one of my finals I did a case study of the LA Punk scene around its beginning .
I came up with a new promotional avenue/gimmick that still fell into the bands
limitations and parameters in 1976.

For part of my final i created an instillation of a 11 x 17 missing poster that the
band could have put up all over the sunset strip. The poster/flyer was designed
to mimic a missing poster for a "RUNAWAY" at the time. It also tells a story,
which would create a buzz or hype around the bands name, especially because
Joan was a minor at the time. To seal the deal i added the DIY "tear a number
strips" with their manager at the time Kim Fowley's name on them.

RIP Macho Man Randy Savage

123


When @sidLee commisioned @123klan to do some Adidas logos, I defenitly gave my nod to Montreal. But their reel this year is so ste! Great transitions and motion too already sick graphics! "123 Klan aint nuttin to fuck wit...Aye."

SPECIAL DELIVERY



LUD DIS SHIT! Beat is so sick and simple! Shit still sets NY off! and Don't hate on Diddy and the REMIX; these fools wouldnt get on this if there wasnt a remix.Ghostface, Keith Murray, and the motha fuckin MAC, end of discussion. Also you can tell they just brought a rack of different mink & furs in for the video shoot, because Keith Murray is wearing the most lunchin hooded poncho fur...#SWAG

Bruisers



@HeelBruise has been killin it lately. Still stoked that they use the antihero/blackflag font better than antihero

ROUGHCUTZ THE MOVIE COMIN SOON...



PREMIERING [at] UNDERSKATEMENT 2011 » Follow @roughcutzsf , @roughneck97 and @teamjaded for details.

"You Got A No No"



An oldie, but a goodie, cam a across it again since ive been doin so much motion this week. But this video has alot to do with were I'm at today.

Livin in New York @groteskito was a huge inspiratiojn to me. We both share an anal retentive interest in sports history and paraphernalia, specifically baseball. @NOMASNYC is sort of the brainchild of that obsession and when I was able to see motion and audio bring this shit to life I was hooked.
