We were taking pictures for the new Christmas card when we I got a bit off track...It is just so easy to take great shots of XT! There is not enough room or time on this blog to try and catch all her beautiful expressions...but I managed to get a few.
Another day at the office. I was walking out of the office the other day to see this beautiful site. You know what they say, "Red sky night, shipper's delight, Red sky morning, shipper's warning"
So the 'kjg sees it' poster series is coming right along. This one was inspired by my computer acting up. 'Power ON & sees it.'
I knew I always wanted to do a shoot under this particular overpass in the city. So I finally got to go out and get some shots...and they did NOT turn out how I had expected. I had to play with them a bit, and work with lighting etc. Here is how some of them came out...
I am redeveloping a fast-pitch softball teams' web presence, so here are some of the shots from the shoot. We went out to a training session to catch them in action. These girls are no punk! Their new web site will be up shortly!
Had to shoot for a dance studio on the north side of Indianapolis last weekend. It is so amazing the lines these girls can create with their bodies. The symmetrical lines they produce with what seems to be little effort was amazing to see. This shot, among many, clearly proves my point.
Okay, so I have finished our little wedding site. We are going to have family from all over the world so, any news we can get over the pond is helpful! Here it is:
Not my art, but every bit of worth posting on my blog. A great mix for a great cause and for a great time in American Politics. Amen DJ Z-Trip
I recently had quite a few request for a print of my '08ama' poster. They are officially in production for the time being...One week left people!
Recently went to go check out Matisyahu and The Flobots at the Murat theatre in Indy. They put on a very good show...Afterwards was able to get a limited edition litho signed by Matisyahu himself, along with getting to get in a few laughs with boys from The Flobots. It was a fun evening and the poster was a bonus.
I was just playing around at my desk when I started to take some snap shots of a few model cars I have sitting around. As most of you know, I have accumulated quite the collection of model cars since my childhood. As it turns out, I am well underway of shooting a whole series of my model cars. These are the two images that sparked the idea...
Here is a quick poster I did for a website called designforobama. Cool site, Cool idea, Cool art. Check it out... and if so inclined, design a poster and submit it! (or just print mine off and post them everywhere!)
Not my image but a great shot taken by my fiance. XT took a trip back out to the grave site where we got engaged and snapped a few shots of the flowers and the newly acquired ring. We are still building the wedding site and you can bet this image will be apart of it! 
So I took a trip to southern Indiana last weekend to visit XT's parents and along the way I stopped and took advantage of the country side and its beautiful sunset. I thought it was interesting to see a BMW, and its status quo, out in the sticks along country roads and corn fields. I say this because, driving an M3 is a serious experience, it's FUN to say the least. BMW has the image of being this sophisticated, middle-upper class, automobile but deems itself as "The Ultimate Driving Machine". I 100% agree that it IS an ultimate experience to drive this daily driver at speeds not legal around corners and up and down on-ramps. BUT how often do you see BMW commercials where the driver is racing through back roads and down windy country openings? NOT OFTEN. And ask any M3 (or any BMW) enthusiasts where they love to take the car, where they can take corners and feel the suspension at work, where they can dig through the gears and feel the ultimate driving experience... 
Well, during the building process of my photography site, I decided to post some images on the famous 'flickr' website. 
First of many, I can promise you that. 
With my recent engagement, comes being creative with invites and save-the-dates! We are having the typical engagement BBQ so our invites turned out like this. Some green napkins, plastic silverware, and a belly band with details inside...Not real sure if sending 40 plastic knives and forks was the smartest, but we'll find out!
Power in Numbers is a piece I developed after a networking event we attended. It always amazes me the power and importance a business card has, so this piece was made to represent the hustle-'n-bustle of business professionals. Lots of business cards, lined up in rows, pushing their product, yada yada...but looking at it from our creative agency side, and US pushing our service, I began to visualize something.
Not my artwork per se, but we are involved in the development of a new website for a local personal fitness gym, Transformation Fitness & Wellness. They are getting their name tagged on the their wall, so we thought a progression photo shoot would be a great addition to the site. Although it's not 100% complete, here are some of the shots.

Okay, so I am back and had a great time! Belfast was all a bit of a blur, but my eyes were wide open when we went through the city to view all the murals (many images to come). It was good to see family and to show XT what the mother-land is all about! The stamps in the passport are mounting up...
As some of you know, I have a thing for the collection of shoes, "Newbies" being at the top of that list. Well a few months ago SOLE Collector did a feature on New Balances' special release Super Team 33's and the cover design was just as cool as the shoes themselves! So I did some searching, found the cover, and got one to keep!
Christopher Cerf is son of Random House Publishing founder, Bennett Cerf, as well as one of the writers of Sesame Street. Chris was in Indianapolis last night doing a lecture on his TV series "Between the Lions" This guy is a character! He has so much passion for teaching children, so much knowledge on child education, and has such a drive for the best way to get kids reading. It was truly refreshing! 
First time swimmer! Got to see my nephew's first time in the pool this past weekend. It's hard to get a bad shot of the little guy! Check out his blog for some more snap shots!
I was recently involved in a photo shoot at a children's artist workshop when I got distracted by this adorable little girl. As I bounced around the theatre, she played on her dad's lap during the entire show. Too adorable to miss, I took a few shots of her throughout the performance. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get her name.
I know this is my art blog, and I have some music posts...but this music post IS art! We attended the show in Chicago over the weekend and were left nothing short of amazed. Kanye did his thing! This production deserves a post. 
I snapped a shot of our new marketing schwag in action. As you know, I am now with an ad agency called matchbook creative, and we recently developed our first piece of schwag. (schwag is free stuff given out by companies as marketing pieces). Fittingly we made matchbooks, considering it is our branding. So while at a bar, I spotted a guys cancer sticks with the infamous schwag attached. 
And on a side note, these Shepard Fairey prints are just as amazing as everything he does. I am still working on getting one of my own with out having to pay an arm and a leg!
I have to say one of the best concerts I have been to in a long while. Not often do you go to a concert where the artist sounds as good as their record (or even better). Missy Higgins sounded better than her record! Live shows are always better to me, but Missy blew us away! We drove to see her in Chicago and I recommend catching her whenever you get the chance. Check her out if you have not heard of her. www.missyhiggins.com
This isn't REALLY art related, but it's been a LONG time coming. Actually it has been about 3 years coming. When I was in Australia I discovered this beer called Tooheys New. I actually didn't discover it, it was the only thing they had at most pubs, so I became accustom to it by default. None-the-less, it grew to become my beer of choice. So once I made it back to the states, I tried every way possible to get some shipped over to me. 
Well, I took the leap. After 3 years at IBJ, I moved from the corporate world of design to the small up-&-coming design firm. Matchbook Creative, Inc. I am going to be doing a lot web design, branding, video production...among plenty of other stuff. I am looking forward to helping this new place grow into a respected design firm!
