In service of the Metal God

I haven’t posted any work lately, and that’s because I really haven’t had much to post. I am deep into a project but a couple months ago I got a break to produce a promo for a new clothing line. I went over to Orange County and shot the manufacturers with a cheap camera, came back and threw together some exploded views of the apparel designs. I think the spot turned out pretty well, though the shirt designs are what really make it.

I had a bit of an adventure on Wednesday. I was suppose to drive out to San Diego, drop off some equipment and fly back… but half way through the day everything changed. My boss decided that this was a good opportunity to get some shots of our artist in the new shirts. I was overnighted a camera and some shirts and finally made it back to Tempe late on Thursday. I don’t have to travel much for my work, but even this much gets to me. I can’t say no, and wouldn’t it, was fun at times. There is just something to be said for walking out of the office at 6:00pm and going home to sleep in your own bed. I don’t like to feel like my profession dictates my life. Thankfully I’m only asked to do this sort of thing once a month or so, I’d never survive the life of a normal business traveler.

My birthday was great, a bunch of friends and I went to my Tuesday night haunt and hung out. We were suppose to rock out but Rob the Rockband guy didn’t show up. I hadn’t been in a few weeks so it’s probably karma or something getting even. No one really minded, we had beers and a little food and just enjoyed each other company. Thanks everyone for the cards, wall posts, tweets and texts. :D

  2. You freak me out with how talented you are. I’m at a loss for words and I’m not being sarcastic. You definitely found your love in life. Sweet. Frickin’ Sweet.
