January 4, 2012What’s Your Z: Screens
I’ve been thinking a lot about the kinds of videos that Subversionz Media does and the kind of work that I really want to pursue moving forward. I’ve come to the conclusion that I’m not terribly interested in going after broadcast projects. TV is boring and one dimensional and... -
January 2, 2012The Evolution of an Artist
It’s always interesting to go back and look at the work that I’ve done in the past. It’s particularly interesting to look at where I’ve come from, where I currently am, and where I would like to be with my work. There has never been a moment when I’ve thought... -
January 2, 2012Lync Mobile Animation
And for my second post of 2012, here is the last project that I completed in 2011. I created a series of four animations for the launch of Microsoft’s Lync Mobile clients and if I do say so myself, I think they turned out really beautifully. So, I thought I’d share. -
January 2, 2012Silence Speaks Volumes
I didn’t grow up with a TV. I didn’t really watch TV much at all until relatively recently. But in the homes of a lot of my relatives, the TV is almost always on. It’s not that anyone is actually watching it. It’s just on, like another member of the family, another... -

This past spring, I managed to actually slip away from work long enough to take a real vacation and wound up in Greece. Although there were a lot of fascinating things about Greece, one of the things that left a huge impression was the massive amounts of really amazing graffiti.... -

And now with more words!
As some of you may or may not know, I’m not just a video/animation person. I’m also a published author. Among my very small library of published short stories and poetry, I’ve also published a few articles about video production and animation. I have added a selection of those... -
November 23, 2011The Zappos Ad You Will Never See on TV
So I thought I would try my hand again at submitting a video to a competition after winning a little bit of cash from the MegaPath video. I created this video for the Zappos “Art of Gifting” competition. We tracked down an origami artist from Bellingham who created some... -
November 22, 2011Faces of the 99%
I’ve been working on an ongoing personal project for a little while now, documenting the faces of the 99% and what it means to us to be a part of the 99%. I’m filming a variety of people including freelancers, veterans, and small business owners. And yes, I actually got in front of... -
November 21, 2011“What’s Your Z?” Episode 6
Continuing in the grand tradition of the “What’s Your Z?” videos, here is the latest addition to the collection. This one appeared spontaneously as I was playing around with different typography treatments and paper textures for something completely unrelated and I think it...
