The first time I saw this image the background of the poster was different. Matthew McConaughey and Jennifer Garner were in the same pose but the background was blue sky and clouds (I think with some of the ghostly girlfriends back there too). But in THAT arrangement and with McConaughey's blue suit and red scarf flowing backward... it REALLY REALLY looked like they were trying to allude to Superman. Were they saying with their design that the character was a "super man"? If so, I found it effective. Now, that's what I immediately see when I see the art.

Although, now they've thrown a little cross into the mix a la the Doubt art.

Back when I took my information design class we wre given an online list of oxymorons, told to pick one and to illustrate it in 4 different ways. So these were my illustrations for the oxymoron "voodoo science."

I do seriously love collectible items/film marketing propaganda! Check out the adorable baby Spock photo that was sent to various film bloggers around the net. It was a USB card with a set of collectible wallpapers related to the new Star Trek movie - each site got a card with a different sent of desktops on them. The idea being that they then a) Blog about getting the package, b) Put up the desktops (thus distributing hit traffic to these other websites rather than just the main Trek site), c) Generate a web flurry of people searching for ALL of the wallpapers on other sites.

J.J.Abrams is like an internet genius to me.

After making this video of my famous (to people who know me) character Brad doing some lip syncing using After Effects... :



...

I came up with a genius idea for a character who would continue to do more lip syncing videos like this. Only - he was a mime! Which would be OK except that he would also be apathetic! I still think this series of videos would have been hilarious (to me) but I never got around to it and now with YouTube swiping the music off of fan music videos I don't think it would work now.

But here's my 2nd draft of what Apathetic Mime might have looked like:

Just found some of my illustrations for my "4th Quarter Review" typography project at the Art Institute. They're fun and bright!
