A series of illustrations created for the WAX Employee Handbook – a tome of knowledge that covers important topics such as: how much your mouth will love dental benefits, how to wear your mandatory pocket square, knowing the difference between drunk and too drunk, and which rooms in the office have (allegedly) been utilized for coitus. Typical ho-hum ad agency stuff.

Agency: WAX

POST / Audio Delights / 001

With the new year already full steam ahead, why not try some new things? So, instead of throwing candy at your eyes, we’re going to cram some into your ears.

No, we didn’t trade in our licenses to be graphic designers for a matching set of 808s. This audio love comes by way of other (not to mention much more talented) people.

My introductory banter aside, this is the latest album from Zombie NationRGB. Released this past December, it’s my new secret weapon for getting my mind on lock and ready to crank out a bunch of work. Spontaneous cubicle dance parties notwithstanding.

You can stream the whole album for free HERE.

Here’s an upcoming excuse to get out of the house art show worth checking out, that we had the good fortune of designing the poster for. Don’t let the most recent adaptations of Batman fool you, he still has a tender side.

Well, there goes another year. Work was made, bills were paid, but—most importantly—fun was had in abundance.

Thanks for following along this past year. Here’s to a brighter-than-the-incandescent-glow-of-your-computer-screen year to come.

POST / How to Get Nothing Done

December 10, 2012 by ht



Nondoing – daily advice on how to kill creativity, loose motivation, and get nothing done in the process.

I just launched this little side project today, with the aim to counter-inspire the internet sluggards at large, one day at a time, for a year at least. I apologize in advance.

POST / Happy Tooth

December 4, 2012 by ht



Nothing makes a tooth happier than the peace of mind that comes from having Extended Group Benefits Health & Dental Coverage Insurance Policy Plan Policy Benefits®. Insert the sound of light glinting off of a polished bit of exposed human bone.

The above image is a sneak peek at a series of illustrations created for an ad agency (WAX) employee handbook.
