Allá Es Tiempo CD

I did a photo shoot for the band Allá awhile back. I just got my hands on the final album artwork. The designer, Billy Baumann and I used to be in a ska band together in high school (yes, it's true). We reconnected 9 years later in Chicago to work on this project together. I have to say his flyer design for our band was way better than the band ever was! Post-ska Billy and his business partner Jason at Delicious Design League are doing some amazing work! http://deliciousdesignleague.com

CCC Job

I just shot this job for Columbia College Chicago. I think they did a nice job with the design!

Suicide Note Record Covers and Revolver story

I recently shot images for Suicide Note's latest record (http://www.suicidenote.net/). Here's the result:



And a close-up from the spread in Revolver...

Claussen Pickles for DraftFCB

I shot these for Kraft Foods c/o DraftFCB. I can't put them on my website, of course, since I'm not a food photographer... but I love them! They told me to shoot the pickle like a sports car, shiny, sexy, etc. Definitely one of my favorite jobs! Plus they really are the best pickles on the market and I had jars and jars of left over product.

The Ugly Suit

Here are a few photos from a band I recently shot for Touch & Go. This band's music puts you in a good mood, plus they brought along the BEST boy wardrobe I've ever seen.

Nightmare Talent Agency

This is an idea I had up about a little talent agency that casts the characters in your nightmares.
The little details explain the stories, but they are hard to see online.
JJ Rat and Chase Brady, the agent, are studying the nightmare The Diseased Rat and the Suburban Housewife and considering accepting an offer to do the sequel. JJ Rat is far less popular now than in the time of the Bubonic Plague, so he's got to take what he can get.
Alice Ape is studying the script Terror of a Southern Preacher, in which she enters the nightmares of an evolution fearing Evangelist. The book in her hand is The Origin of Species.
Augustus Clown would be cast in the nightmares of young children... if he could only get his act together.
Gerard Alien from one of my older shoots makes an appearance in the headshots on the wall (close-up below).

NEW YORK CITY

AS OF JUNE FIRST, I LIVE IN NEW YORK !!
After about 15 years of wishing, 8 years of preparing and 6 months of scheming, I'm making it happen. I'm beyond excited about the opportunities this will present.
Thanks Chicago... I will miss you!
