I just completed a grueling marathon shoot of the new LS Hybrid with Aussie (by way of London) photographer Anton Watts (shown below with coffee all over him). Something like 28 shots in 12 days. Many in the studio, and some on location. A new world record! More images after you click.

Oh yeah, I did the retouching myself while on location. See the rest of the photos.

If you happen to visit ABC to view re-runs of Lost using their amazing Streaming Player, you may happen upon some of the new Lexus branding ads I designed for Team One Advertising. Or you can TURN YOUR SOUND UP and use the following links:

1) Dominoes
2) Molecules
3) Soundwaves
4) Spectrum

My favorite part of the project was working with brilliant electronic composer Kasson Crooker on the scoring/sound design. Its not often I get to have sound on internet advertising, and working with Kasson was sheer pleasure.

If you do find yourself looking at these ads on the ABC site, please make sure to interact with them for a bit before you resume your television show!

The Lexus 2008 LS Hybrid Overlay Launch Site that I art directed for Team One finally launched this week. It features beautiful still photography from my shoot with Anton Watts last month. I have also included some of the new photography in my portfolio above.

I also designed some cool interactive ad banners: LSh 336×280 Message Board , LSh 728×90 Lederboard & LSh 160×600 Skyscraper. that drive traffic to this site from popular automotive portals.

I just posted this cool video of “Break It Down” from our last show the UFD Site. Kicking ass Chicago style horn ending written by Mike Rotondi! Click here to check it out!.

Oh yeah, that is me on drums. If you want a version for your iPod Video, click UFD-BreakItDown-02.23.2007.mp4. Or you can just watch it on YouTube.

Here is some digital advertising I’ve art directed for Lexus in the last couple of years.

The Lexus Presskits website recieved a facelift with a collapsible horizontal scroller on the bottom. And full CMS for adding events via http interface. Targeted for 1024×764 monitors. More pages after you click the image.

Do you remember your first time riding without training wheels? Lars did it this weekend at six years of age. And no skinned knees. What a blast!

I just finished desgning some out of home (OOH) interactive touch-screen panels for Lexus. Look for them at a mall near you. Cool stuff, fo sho. More images after you click the photo.
