These cats are pure gold and my every-Sunday-family. Meet Robert Lee Fardoe, Dirch Feistel (ma and pa) and the rest of the boys and girls of the sunken treasure chest we call Al Hamra. This clip is from last winter featuring us playing ourselves warm, smoking waterpipes and hanging out in the middle of just another Sunday night.
If you happen to be in the area dont be shy. Drop in and play a tune with us...
Admerica Infomercial...
20.1.12
Over Christmas I finished up a small company presentation / infomercial for Admerica... My initial plan was to make a time travel from the 1920'es to the 1980'es american graphics. I actually liked my original idea a lot and was a bit disappointed that the client shot it down. But we agreed on staying in the 1960'es poppy style...
Unfortunately I never received the final speak (only a temp track), so the timing of the animation is somewhat off - and Im not too happy with the intro. The 1920es Art Deco intro had way more character and a way better flow in the animation. But the client was happy and that is what counts.
Heres a bunch of inspirationals, slates and scribbles I did for the Project - And of course the final thing:

911 Post mordem...
A few months back i did a blog post about the 911 video I made for Canal+ for the 10th anniversary of the 911 tragedy. I didnt post it though out of respect for the good people at L'Oeil de Links who paid for the thing. But it was shown 2 days ago and now Ive uploaded it to share with the world. The video is a scattered array of memories from the day rather than a strict narrative. I only had 1min11sec at my disposal so I decided to go with a rather expressionistic kind of storytelling. The deadline was quite short as well, so I slipped back into my good old 8 bit suit in order to be able to produce it in a snappy manner...
"10 past 911"
Looking through the file folder I stumbled across a couple of the initial boards and sketches. They are pretty crappy, but when Im doing things for myself it doesnt really matter how pretty my initial sketches are, as long as I can read them theyll work just fine...

Portrait
16.8.11
The kickass Russian artist Ludmila Letnikova just uploaded a charicature of me on her facebook profile a sec ago. I am super flattered, not only because it is an awesome drawing, but also because she is sooo cool. We share a love for graphic design and David Bowie. Ive only met her a couple of times, and every time I see her she is in a new crazy costume and has a new incarnation and character to play. She surely rocks!
