MY HOME 2.0
For the past 9+ months I've been working with Campfire as the CD (design and ID) for a colossal campaign for Verizon FiOS. My Home 2.0 is an ever expanding trinity of web content, live events, and broadcast media created to show the value of the high speed connection that FiOS provides - all hosted by 3 Techno-Gurus. Whew! I can't believe I fit 9 months into one sentence!
Check out the fabulous website - props to the Chopping Block. You can watch the show there, look at reveal photos and .movs (the families experienced their new makeovers at a large Block Party, broadcasted live on a jumbotron for friends and neighbors to share the excitement), and read the thoughts of the families before, during, and after their makeovers. Also check out the witty writings and reportings of the builds by the second funniest person I have ever met, Jim 2.0. He's great at giving a bird's eye view of the painstaking (and funny) process of creating a reality show.
Each makeover yielded techie DIYs; to mention a few, a bat cave, a shadow wall, and a car couch. We've also got some fun non-show related DIYs, including a Solar Cell Phone Charger, a Light-up Book Cover, and much much more to come!
We also created a wiki that allows for folks who have FiOS to jump in and share "tips, tweaks, instructions and other resources useful to FiOS users, which may not be available on official Verizon sites".
You'll see my influence throughout, but one nugget that you may miss (that I really enjoy), is the animated teaser. Created by me and my pal Andrew and animated by Miguel Delcan for Click, who helped us out with animation for the show open and additional DIY packaging.
There's much more to unfold on My Home 2.0, including 3 new episode w/ new guru Allison Lewis. Props to my uber talented college pal Yury Gitman for helping us find her. More super cool DIYs are coming up very soon, too. So enjoy it! And visit it often!

NEW POSTCARDS!
Printed up some new cards - running low on the others - time for something new! This card features a strange African bird, the regal and crass Southern Ground Hornbill. The back is printed upside down, oh well. Save a tree! No reprints. Email me with your postal address if you'd like one.

Graniph T-SHIRT #5
Japanese t-shirt company Graniph has released the 5th shirt in the series. This one is my personal favorite. It features "Red Tulips (and Mummy)" from my postcard series. These are limited edition - small and extra-small are sold out, so that leaves only medium and large.

AUNG SAN SUU KYI
GOOD magazine featured a shirt I designed for be+cause colaborations. The shirt celebrates the courageous Burmese pro-democracy leader and Nobel Peace Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi. The design is available on BE+CAUSE's website in v-neck and tunic, as well as baby onesie styles. The March issue of GOOD is available on newstands now.
A few years ago, I had the pleasure of designing the ID for Deyden and Erin of be+cause, and I was thrilled to work with them again on this t-shirt.

JAPANESE T-SHIRTS
Japanese t-shirt company Graniph has licensed my art for some lovely t-shirts. The 4th piece they have printed is from my "Protea" postcard. Thankfully, they now have a site that sells to the US so you don't have to be Japanese to get them! Limited print runs, so get them fast!

MTV.COM
MTV has asked graphic designers and artists to do logo treatments for the website. It was quite an honor to do this, given that I grew up admiring the strange and artistic nature of many of their IDs.
More past and future projects will be posted soon.
