Vivienne mentioned the work she and Ward did for Herman Miller's SEE magazine (here) which inspired me to pull together some work I did for the magazine as well. I might mention that the designer, Todd Richards, was one of the most trusting ADs I've worked with. This is one spread out of six; the whole composition can be seen here . After it was published, I tried some different color variations, so what you are seeng is the revised version.

This is part of a poster, billboard campaign I'm working on at the moment. The campaign deals with children's health and the first three billboards show eating and lifestyle hazzards. This image addresses the inactivity of gaming. the Art Director is Richard Oliver, a great guy from Salt Lake City, working for the "Factory".

Here is a mini snapshot of this years Earth Day poster which I just finished. It does not release in the U.S. as the assignment came from the U.S. State Dept. who must abide by a law restricting the U.S. from promotion-propoganda. It will release in April at U.S. Embassys around the world.  This is a sturgeon with a goby fish...something from a sketchbook from the Chicago aquarium.  If you ever find yourself visiting Chicago (how about those Bears)...definately check out the aquarium. 

As a first blog post here at the ol' Picture mechanics, I thought it might be fun to put up this project from the mid nineties.  I believe this was a promotion for a hotel chain, but I can't remember exactly.  What I do remember is it was a lot of fun. 

I believe there were about fourteen artists who were each commissioned to create a removable illustrated panel that decorated a custom made wooden clock.  At the time, who'd have thought that eight of these artists would years later be part of the Picture Mechanics?
