A few weeks prior to this event I came up with an idea to do a trailer for our next art show. No posters, no postcards – just a raw look into the artist’s mind and life. Most people go to art shows and never know what the artist is like, what their voice sounds like or what they look like. It’s a shame, because that is almost more important than the forms they paint or capture – understanding the creator makes the work that much more powerful. At least it does for me.
We shot about 30 minutes worth of footage. Thanks to Jason Burks.
My trusty Assistant Editor Rebecca and I cut and deleted and trashed and added and subtracted and a few hours later we arrived at something we both agreed on was “perfect”.
I love this piece.
And I hope you all do as well.

I was wrapping up the Bruce Springsteen project and pulling off the last stencil when I stumbled upon this photo opp. I like working on stencils of this scale. It’s fun. I’m usually cutting super large stencils and I found working on these ultra small pieces require a stupid amount of concentrating.
A lot of work goes into such a small piece. It’s cool.

I was commissioned by the BOK Center to create a gift for Elton John and Billy Joel. It was an incredible honor. I came up with an idea to design a jewelry box for both Elton and Billy. I recruited Nate and Greg from Spexton to design the cuffs… They did an amazing job and for the first time in a long time - I was 100% pleased with the entire project. (I’m typically over critical of myself.) Before the show I was able to snap a few photos of the final pieces:

Last night we presented the gifts to the artists and as I took this photo (moments before they walked on stage), my heart was pounding….. It was so amazing to see Elton John and Billy Joel looking at me AND holding something I created for them.
