Many new projects and products to be revealed soon.


The last 2 months have been a roller coaster. Its been hard to publish on the blog due to some exciting developments that needed special attention.

Over the past months, I have been keeping busy with companies like Band Merch, Arbor Snowboards, Armada Skis, Nike Basketball Projects, and the merger of a motion graphics/film/editing studio with my own graphic studio LV8. SUBMERGE is now a division of LV8 that will offer cutting edge solutions to broadcast media/film. I'll be posting demo reels of numerous SUBMERGE projects on LV8 in the near future. We are in the middle of a large project that should debut next year on television.

Lastly, there will be 2 product launches before the end of the year that I am especially proud of and excited for. I can't name the companies because that would give it away, so, stay tuned for official updates through my newsletter.

Thanks!

New Painting in Honor of my stepfather

Just wrapped up this painting in honor of my recently departed stepfather. A Lakota Indian, crows were a significant and spiritual part of his life. I had started this painting while he was still alive but during its process, my stepfather left and the painting began to take on a whole new life and meaning. The crow feathers were a last addition, originally they were to be butterflies.
