We are in full-court press with the A.D.I.D.A.S. and Save the Ras Kass campaigns. Two items for fans to look forward to are the following T-shirts, Goldyn Chyld and Endangered Lyricist.  “Goldyn Chyld,” of course, remains one of Ras Kass’s defining songs – a “sequel” is arriving shortly as a music video and limited edition vinyl.  Meanwhile, the Endangered Lyricist concept ties in directly with our Save the Ras Kass marketing strategy  – episode 2 of STRK is currently being edited.  It’s readily obvious that our design for Endangered Lyricist is a BIG tip of the cap to Public Enemy founder (and Read the rest of this entry »

Concept art and title treatment for “Drastic, Anything but Plastic,” a pilot in development at the Style Network. As the title implies, “Drastic, Anything but Plastic” is a makeover-themed program, offering tips on changing your look without going under the knife.  Or so I’ve been told. In any case, I’m always happy to swing outside of my strike-zone to take on an unusual project.  In designing the title treatment, I’ve tried to uphold the spirit of the show – bright, fun, and a little loud.  Click through for Drastic’s video coverage of Susan G. Komen’s Fashion for the Cure event, featuring appearances by Eliza Read the rest of this entry »

Attached below is my poster submission to the makers of “The Last Rites or Ransom Pride.” The indie western has developed quite a buzz in the past couple months, thanks in part to a creative web campaign. Recently, the “Last Rites” crew reached out for content development – songs, iPhone apps, T-shirts, comic books, and of course, movie posters. Scheduled for release this coming April, “The Last Rites of Ransom Pride” stars Lizzy Caplan, Kris Kristofferson, Scott Speedman, Dwight Yoakam, Jason Priestley, and Peter Dinklage.

Another contest submission for The Clink Room. With little-to-no background in skate culture, a “Skate Shop” concept was a much tougher task for me than the “Taco Shop League.” At a loss for ideas, my old friend Joe Chandler stoked the fire with a concise suggestion: “Dirty kids at 7/11.” Aha! I had a frame of reference after all. You couldn’t swing a dead cat in front of our old Scripps Ranch 7/11, without hitting one, three, or fourteen of those disheveled punks. They were malnourished, had ratty facial hair, and reeked of what one day I would finally realize was marijuana smoke. For years I’d just assumed that Read the rest of this entry »

From the Department of Cryptic Nonsense:

What can I tell you about Stupid Americans? Not much. This project-in-progress is shrouded in secrecy for the time being, but I am able to share the concept art I’ve developed. More details to follow after the remaining pieces fall into place…

San Diego natives understand why I was so inspired by this project.  You can’t swing a cat in San Diego County without hitting a limb on the ‘Berto family tree, so enjoying the local taco shop culture is truly a pastime unto itself. So I was thrilled to participate in the Clink Room’s high-concept “Taco Shop League Collaboration.”

The competition, sponsored by New Era, invited concept & logo submissions – I produced two, each merging Irish and Mexican cultures (description in thumbnails). I didn’t make the final cut, but look forward to the Clink Room’s future competitions…

Concept art for Russian Sub!, a series in consideration at Comedy Central. Naturally, it would be an honor to participate in the first half-hour sitcom devoted to nautical espionage.

It’s been almost 25 years since Rocky Balboa and Ivan Drago ended the Cold War, but the iconography (and yes, stereotypes) of the era still linger. Fear of the Hammer & Sickle inspired a decade of joyously violent action films, so here’s hoping it can leave a legacy of comedy as well…. Read the rest of this entry »
