PENCIL’s 2008 Spring Gala

The past 2 years, I’ve enjoyed being a part of Ogilvy’s partnership with PENCIL and PS 123. Working with the kids (who are all around 11 years old) has certainly been challenging and rewarding. So, when the opportunity arose to attend this year’s PENCIL Spring Gala and get a larger view of the program, I wanted to check it out.

From the very first piece produced by HBO about a couple of the partnerships between the private sector and public schools through the very last award given to a PENCIL partner, I was truly impressed at the participants in the program and the ability of the program to really make a difference in the community.

Check out pencil.org for more information on their programs.

Art Directed Photo Lands in Communication Arts Photography Annual 48

Six Flags photo in Communication Arts This happened a while ago, but reporting on it is better late than never. A photo taken by Michael Warren and art directed by myself at last year’s Six Flags photo shoot down at Six Flags Over Texas was featured in this year’s Communication Arts Photography Annual 48. It’s a truly impressive image that takes a simple roller coaster and turns it into a mountainous, imposing figure few would dare tackle.

This work was done through Ogilvy with the help of fantastic creative directors, art buyers, producers, retouchers, and more.

My Best Desktops Launches

Manhattan Bridge For a few years now, I’ve been designing or using some of my photography to make desktop wallpapers for my personal use. Sometimes, I would even make these available to the world via a couple different web outlets like my work site. The downloads have really been phenomenal for quite some time, so I’ve finally decided to launch a site just for these desktop wallpaper downloads.Say hello to MyBestDesktops.com!

At this site, I’ll upload ALL of the past desktops and continue adding new desktops practically everyday for the foreseeable future! That means vector desktops, photo desktops, text based desktops, fun desktops, serious desktops, animal desktops, travel desktops and everything between!

So, check out MyBestDesktops.com and get downloading! I’ll do my best to remember to update it as often as possible.
