Welcome To The Hoosier State

I got a break from work and school for a bit so decided to take a last minute flight back to my hometown to visit the family. It was a very interesting time and here is a small photo document of my trip.

Leaving Atlanta I got through security in 5 minutes and had my flight changed three times so I took a walk around and saw this art display. Leap frog anyone?

Welcome to Evansville, IN

Decided to go out to my familiar spot and scare the locals with my personal style. No John Deer hats or deer camo in my closet.

So I got to Sportsmans just in time drink some micro German brew and watch the rest of da Bears game.


Went to the Christmas Eve service and actually didn't burst into flames. Before all that excitement we had a wii family bowling night. Never say an 80 year old can't beat you in Wii sports cause you will get embarrassed.


St. Paul's needs to step up its typography game.

Festival of Lights (as they call it)


Elves ride fixed gears and skate half pipes after cruising in their race truck in the midwest.



Santa's a baller hahaha.


And of course there is always that one guy with too many inflatable yard ornaments. Where the hell is the house?

Google My Pocket

So I finally picked up a new phone and decided to get the G1. Of course I got it in that cocaine white for full out radness in my pocket.

Here are some pictures of my first two days with it, taken on the G1.

Gossip, Scandals, Drama

Just got my DMGGMASD shirt over the weekend, so I felt like letting my hair down and showing it off today at class. hahaha
As you can tell I am hard at work trying to finish up for my final on Monday.

Someday I'll Be Famous

Myself and two other friends from school decided to make a few commercials for the Doritos Crash The Superbowl contest. It was a ton of fun making them and took a lot more work than I thought to produce and edit. None of us are familiar with video programs, but I think they came out pretty well. Here is one of our entries a field day potato sack race that turned out to be a bit more competitive when a bag of Doritos was put up for grabs.

Taking all those falls sure hit me the next day, man I feel beat up.

Atlanta Addy Awards

My entries are in, I haven't slept proper in days, I'm completely stressed out, but it will all be worth it on February 7th.

This year is my first year competing in the Addy's. I am super excited that I got to enter three campaigns for judging and feel pretty confident about two of them.

Pictured are two of my campaigns.

First is my Urban Outfitters campaign. Since they seem to be all on the "be green" boat with their shirts I felt like they need to get rid of the plastic bags and gift cards to stay true to the game. I choose to make a bag, gift card, and gift box out of dark recycled paper and I created a font for the company name. I wanted it to stay playful but true to the brand so I picked bright colors for the main type and accents, but gave still that urban grunge. This is a four piece campaign only part not in the picture is the guerrilla piece which is moss graffiti on the side of urban area style brick walls done in the same typography.

This last image was a three piece campaign for the Red Bull Flugtag event in Chicago. I did a direct mailer that folds open with sign-up information and event history, then folds open again to a poster. The next part was a bus advertisement to be placed on the back of CTA buses and on the side of double decker tour buses. The last part is a guerrilla piece to be placed in fountains around downtown Chicago. The planes would be made of foam so they could float and designed to replicate the Red Bull plane. On the bottom of the wings would be brief information on the event and a link to the website to sign-up and get more information.

Well hopefully everyone enjoys my ideas and wish me luck.

All of the Drama, Some of the Drifting, and YOU WEREN'T INVITED!

DMGGMASD ...... are you ready for the scandals?
Roll up your Benjamins and grab some razor blades, it's time for a coke party.

Real Men Tap Doors and High-Five

This video is proof that you need to step your game up America!
Japan is making super sick entries, door to door multi-car tandems, and all of this is done with out corporate sponsorship. These guys go all out with no hesitation and totally commit to the drift with no worries. America my have been getting better over the years, but the pros aren't even going this all out and they don't have to pay to fix a thing when they break something.
Watch this video, take notes, then compare.

100% radness is here:

I Met The Walrus

Seriously one of the most amazing animated short movies made from an interview with John Lennon.


For more information visit I Met The Walrus


When I was watching that Lennon interview in amazement, I also noticed this little gem of yellow sticky notes.

Andy Sapp Killed It Again

Andy Sapp just finished up his most metal drift video ever for his 2008 driver profile and I must say that it is crazier than crazytown, with an amazing amount of editing and lack of care in his driving footage to blast his shenanigans into a A+ video. Once you watch the video you will see just how radtown it is and more than likely play it again like a bad crack habbit.
Keep Drifting Fun. Or Else!

Formula D Rd.3 New Jersey

Formula Drift's Rd.3 New Jersey (June 14th 2008) didn't take place in it's normal location at Wall Raceway, instead this year it took place in Englishtown at Old Bridge. I was lucky enough to be able to attend this high speed day of drifting with entry speeds well into the 90s and above. While I was enjoying the very hot day at the track and trying my best to not get too sun burnt, I did some photo coverage of the event for my friends at S3 Magazine.

Here are some pictures from the event.

Southeastdrift's Triple Threat: Round 1

Hot-lanta drifting was in full effect on Saturday May 31st, with SoutheastDrift's "Triple Threat" @ Turner Field.
The day was very hot and long, but the turn out for the first practice day seemed to be really good.
Thanks to Marcos for setting up the practice day and hope to see everyone out for Round 2 on June 28th.


Here are some pictures I took during the day for S3 mags blog. http://s3mag.com/gallery/triplethreat_round1/
