RBMA
too craze with RBMA to do much around here, but figured i might as well throw down all the covers.
for those unlucky enough to be outside of NYC to get the newsprint edition, go here to download PDF versions.
The Daily Note
as part of the ongoing creative program we have been working on for the red bull music academy in new york city, i am currently heading up a month of creative direction for a daily newspaper titled the Daily Note.
given that it is mainly distributed on the streets of new york city a la AM new york (keep an eye out for the black and white aprons!) most will only be able to view as PDF (available for download here)… if you are in NYC, definitely keep an eye on the streets for the printed newspaper.

Red Bull online editorial 2: “On His Own Terms”
this one art directed by this dude max vogel aka razauno aka the dude who sits 3 feet to my right and makes bird noises all day. illustrations by cody hudson. hard work from a lot of other people in the office – as well as great work from instrument in putting it all together. really happy with how this one came out – would love to hear what you think about it… drop me a line.
