"SurfSeekers!"
Fresh off of our trip to Hawaii, here's a super cool and inspired original animated property I am working on with Stacie Harmon of 9th wave and Miah Alcorn. I'm so "stoked" to be working on this. The callaboration is a joy and big things are coming like a wave on the horizon with this...more details very, very soon;)
Zack's Hawaiian "Welcome to Manhood Manly MAN Trip!"
In very exciting news:
Zack and I traveled to the BIG ISLAND of Hawaii to celebrate him ushering into manhood!
We had the trip of our lives, seeing exploding lava from Volcanoes by Helicopter, dropping in on overhead surf @ perfect breaks that used to be reserved for Hawaiian Royalty, and experiencing the culture in a very special way in our time with Bear, a local surfer/instructor (and dream-maker!) who was our incredibly gracious liason to the Island, helping us understand how important environmental stewardship is, all the while helping to shape Zack's energy + life outlook as he journey's into manhood. I couldn't be more appreciative of what he allowed us to experience. Namely, our New Year's Eve excursion and ceremony with Ole where Zack was officially cristened in a traditional Hawaiian blessing. It was truly unforgettable. What started out as a trip to help Zack view life in an inspired way, ended up even helping me understand my importance as a Father and steward, and he and I returned transformed. I could not suggest a vacation or experience more enthusiastically. If you ever plan to visit the BIG Island, reach out to Bear @ www.surferbearhawaii.com for the ULTIMATE surf and spiritual Safari!

3 Lil' Eaglettes
Now here's a great project by all counts. I was approached a while back by some super cool folks who have been trying to bring a GREAT idea to life, but never seemed to quite get the project groovin.
Who better to instill the sentiments of patriotism, spreading peace, + environmental stewardship, than these 3 Lil' Eaglette characters, who are the decendants of our National Symbol, the bald eagle. Roger, Pax, and Terra, respectively, represent these qualities with fun communicative design and animation.
Learn more @ www.3lileagles.com .... but suffice to say this project was a hoot, er, a "screach." I teamed up with Miah Alcorn to bring these little guys to life through a fun animation and website. Miah's incredible talent for character + look design really took off with this project, you are incredible my man! Thanks so much for teaming up on this one with me:)
I can't say alot about this yet, but look for these lil' guys on TV VERY soon!
