studio remodel

i am excited to share some of the changes and updates that have been going on around here. i am approaching the ten month anniversary of moving out of my studio in sodo and wanted to show you why i am so happy that i did. i am currently working out of a home studio in west seattle, a decision i was originally nervous to make. moving from a hip commercial building in sodo and into my own space was a giant step even though i knew it was the right one to make. being a studio shooter i needed a place to work but being new to seattle where no one knew me, having a bunch of unnecessary overhead was hard to justify, it was quite the conundrum. to make the moving decision easier i made a list of what worked and didn't work about my space in sodo and after seeing it on paper the decision was easy.

once my mind was made up we were tasked to find a new home that fit our living and working needs, that was a bit of a process and a story i will keep for another time. the outcome is that we landed in west seattle in a new constructed house with an old garage still on the property. over the last 10 months we have been changing it from an old garage to a very well equipped home studio that i have had the pleasure of producing some notable projects in. it has been a work in progress and the result has been a very enjoyable place that is virtually distraction free to do work.

"make me a bicycle clown"

welcome back. here is a very long overdue blog post, i've been busy with projects and a studio remodel (which i will elaborate on soon) and have neglected sharing anything via the blog.

here are a few images from a test i did with art director jenny fort, the concept was a simple exercise in graphic abstractions. she had the idea of doing something with balloons, the type clowns like to use. we both found that making shapes out of balloons is harder than it seems and if we were to continue the project would consider hiring an actual clown. we set out to do a few variations of each color but popped so many in the process that these were what we were left with. the purple are my favorites and working with jenny was a lot of fun. more tests to come..
