The Reweddening!!!

Just about to  jump on a plane to fly home to see some of the most wonderful people in the world.
Thinking lately on Inspiration, its something you can find anywhere its in everything. For me nothing is quite like home, and Im sure Ill find some sparks of it on this trip back to Dayton. Much of my inspiration comes from life, friends,family and our experiences together.

Recently, I was so inspired by a vision of my friend Ian's to create a Jaws2 throwback poster.  I illustrated this poster for a special event  he is throwing tomorrow. Anyone who knows Ian understands his f*d up sense of humor, he is always hilarious, and readily admits that he is much more hairy than this particular illustration suggests.




What better excuse to head home than a wedding celebration? Make that a Re-weddening celebration. My dear friends Ian Kaplan and Brooke Medlin tied the knot a few months back and have planned a doozie of a celebration. Sat Aug 27th... get ready to be hugged and have your earholes pleased.  Its going to be a night to remember back at good old Canal Street Tavern.

Music from all the homies.
THE MOTEL BEDS
Captian of Industry
brOhio Casket

There is nothing quite like making noise with the boys in good ol' dayton ohio....were getting the bands back together! Its like a frikin time machine..2003 all over again.

Interpretations of Production Logo Animations

Universal Studio Vintage Logo Introduction

The first motion picture studio animation to come to mind was the Globe from Universal Pictures.

Thought it would be interesting to compare where they started and where they are today.

 Universal Logo Introduction 2009

This Universal Picture Intro begins by illustrating the connection of all these glowing soft star like points on the globe.The Animation ends with Earth as the center of our Universe and the anchor of the logo.

During this spot you get the idea that Universal has the whole world entertained, by showing these glowing streaks of light that collectively connect and give this feeling of inspiration.

I like the simple use of Extruded letterforms and focus on the shape of the sphere.
Its interesting to see how they still played off the original logo animation style using modern animation techniques.


Weintstein Company

This is Identity of another mega studio out of the west coast The Weinstein company.
I have always been attracted to the starkness and simplicity of this logo. Using 3 spotlight to create the W letter form keeps it from not feeling too static.


20th Century Fox:

20th Century Fox intro is another classic Introduction. The soundtrack is iconic , I love this particular take on the Intro from "Simpsons the movie". Ralph is hilarious.
