Off-Season Maintenance

Here is a short promo that I created for the Tacoma Rainiers Baseball team.  They came to me with a rough concept and I rewrote the gags, directed the shoot, cut the video, worked the audio and built all the graphics. 

I tried to keep it simple and focus on a single gag or situation in each short. They were a lot of fun to shoot and yes, there will be more, so stay tuned.

HD version is available:  It's just like Avatar ... but with a reindeer and a ladder.

Baseball in Black and Gray

Recently I did a photo shoot with a few of the Tacoma Rainiers players showcasing their tattoos.  I thought it would be a cool side of the guys that the fans don't usually get to see.  I lit and shot the guys myself and did the final layout and design. Included in the shoot were Mike Mangini, Dan Cortes, Chaz Roe and Royce Ring.  They were totally game for everything and lot of fun to shoot.  The article appeared in the Rainiers nightly game program/magazine "The Dirt".

Icons

Recently created a set of icons for the Tacoma Rainiers' new stadium.  I wanted something that felt clean and new but still had a classic a vibe. I was inspired by the classic WPA National Parks posters from the 1930's and by artist and designer Michael Schwab. Each piece was hand sketched, then rendered in Adobe Illustrator.
