I
was born, raised and still live in
San Francisco. I make my home in
the Sunset with my wife Sharon and
my son Frank.
I'm
an advertising art director, writer
and sometime illustrator. Some of
my past clients include Microsoft,
Taco Bell, Amazon.com, Levi Strauss,
Sega, LucasArts, Bank of America,
Cartoon Network, Scion, sfgate.com,
Safeway, Cost Plus and Coors. I've
worked for Foote, Cone & Belding,
Chiat/Day, McCann-Erickson and Anderson & Lembke.
I'm currently Associate Creative
Director at Attik.
My
work has been recognised by the One
Show, British D&AD, The Addys,
The Effies, The Tellys, The Clios,
Adweek, Advertising Age and others.
I've
had my own site since 1996, when
I started the webzine, The Laughing
Drunk, which ended in 2002. I originally
used Adobe PageMill(!), but soon
switched over to Dreamweaver. Most
of the graphics were created in Illustrator
and imported into Photoshop. The
site was originally built on a PowerBookG4,
but the most recent overhaul was
made on a MacBook Pro.
I've
been blogging since June 1996 when
I started the internet 'zine, The
Laughing Drunk. This particular
blog, The World According To, began
in July 2002. It's been redesigned
and tweaked several times since then.
My original plan was to leave older
pages as they were, to serve as a
time machine of the site. however,
in May 2006, the entire blog was
overhauled and updated.
More
and more, the multiple sections will
be folded into the main blog: illustration,
photography, etc.
Some
of my preoccupations are collecting
Spider-man stuff, comic art,
movies and politics. BTW, the various
mastheads are all pictures of me
as a kid.
