Here is a little looping video I did for We Are Parasols that was released today. Did not do the editing though. All done in Houdini and Redshift. Little write up for them on Post Punk as well.
Looks pretty cool as a website header. ;)
New work in the Wild
I did some album artwork for local Portland band “Hawks Do Not Share” that will be on vinyl and CD. The imagery is also featured on the website, will be a shirt and did a looping animation for a lyric video. Pretty fun project. When I get the product here I’ll probably update the portfolio with it all proper.
More teasers
Just some more teaser images for some stuff coming out soon.
New Work in the Wild: Nike Go FlyEase
Would ya look at that, some new work of our’s just showed up in the wild, Nike Go FlyEase. Did some retouching and product swaps on this one. I’ll see if I can dig it up for the portfolio in a bit so you can see the build outs.
Little preview
Trying to get some new portfolio pieces organized and posted but not having a lot of time to set aside for that ATM. That said, here is a little before and after teaser that was fun.
New Work in the Wild: Nike The Cosmic Unity
Some retouching/compositing work we did last year surfaced in a press release today. Check it out. Maybe I’ll build a before and after for the portfolio, but I’ll post the finals for sure. Pretty cool project.
“Fresh from announcing its hands-free GO FlyEase, Nike (NYSE:NKE -0.82%) has now officially revealed a new sneaker as part of its “Move to Zero” sustainability initiative. The Cosmic Unity — which has leaked previously — the shoe is the first performance silhouette under the project, and mixes responsible materials with court-ready technology.”
Trash By You
New work in the wild making the rounds on some of the design blogs. When I get some free time I’ll update the portfolio with the process. Nike - Trash By You.
Photography by Unruh Jones as far as I know.
I did all the comps and post-production and even had the chance to shoot the sail-like flower arrangement for the comp. Fun stuff.
Feel Machine music vid
Did the opening and closing titles for newly released music video for We Are Parasols. Did it all in Houdini with Redshift render. Damn happy with the results. Pyro is triiiiiiicky.
Marvel Universe Maddness!
Just posted a some illustration / retouching I did for Marvel Universe in the Portfolio. Go check it out!
Your job for the rest of your life is to always be learning
Some great stuff here in this discussion. Covers, burn out, mental burn out, rates, being a human being and all sorts of goodness. Give it a listen.
New Stuff on Behance.
Been posting a few project to Behance that I have not made live here yet if you feel like checking out more of our wacky work. Check em out!
New Work in the Wild: TedX PDX
Site for Ted X Portland just went live and looks pretty slick. We did the post for all the portraits. Composited onto a new BG, toning and B&W grading. Fun stuff!
New works to share!
Just posted a bunch of new stuff to the danklife portfolio and Behance, as Dr. Brule says, "Check it out!"
New Work in the Wild: Maui Brewing
Being big fans of Hawaii how could we say no to doing some product renders for Maui Brewing? I simply can't. The fine folks at The Butler Bros reached out and asked if I could do some renders of their brand redesign and I jumped at the chance. Check out the full project here.
More Animations on Behance
Posted some new animations of before and afters on Behance. Have some Nike Swim work and Nike Football / Soccer to check out. Enjoy!
New Work In The Wild: adidas Samoa
Did some CGI set building for the fine folks at Kamp Grizzly the other week and it looks like adidas relased them out into the wild. Some fun, clean and simple sets.

Conoco Animations.
Jeremy spent all day yesterday making us awesome new animations for the portfolio. Look for more updates to come in the following weeks.
Excerpted from How to Fly a Horse
Learning to say, "No" is probably the hardest thing to do in business and art. Here is some more reading up to help us all with that.
“Time is the raw material of creation. Wipe away the magic and myth of creating and all that remains is work: the work of becoming expert through study and practice, the work of finding solutions to problems and problems with those solutions, the work of trial and error, the work of thinking and perfecting, the work of creating. Creating consumes. It is all day, every day. It knows neither weekends nor vacations. It is not when we feel like it. It is habit, compulsion, obsession, vocation. The common thread that links creators is how they spend their time. No matter what you read, no matter what they claim, nearly all creators spend nearly all their time on the work of creation. There are few overnight successes and many up-all-night successes.
Saying “no” has more creative power than ideas, insights and talent combined. No guards time, the thread from which we weave our creations. The math of time is simple: you have less than you think and need more than you know. We are not taught to say “no.” We are taught not to say “no.” “No” is rude. “No” is a rebuff, a rebuttal, a minor act of verbal violence. “No” is for drugs and strangers with candy.”
New Work for ConocoPhillips
The talented photographer Jamie Kripke brought me on board to help with some background rebuilds for a project documenting the new look of gas stations for Conoco Phillips. Really had to dig deep to build all these up. Lots going on here in the before and afters. Check them out on Behance or in the portfolio section here.
New Work in the Wild: Butler Bros "Real Good" gum.
Been a busy monkey here so I have not been doing enough of my daily CGI or postings here. Much apology, such sorry. But anyways, I recently did some CPG renders for Butler Bros out of Austin that came out really well. Getting the foil looking like that was fun to figure out. Check out the full gallery and read up on it at their site. Butler Bros Real Good Gum Campaign.
