I’ve been meaning to post more often but my work schedule is pretty intense right now!
I’ve been working hard getting Grotto Madrid things together (stay posted I should be able to post some sweet visuals pretty soon). I’m working on a couple other projects right now and I hope to give you the 411 on those also. I like staying busy; it’s a good thing.
Don’t let my work load discourage anyone from contacting me! Sometimes the best ideas flow out when the pump has been primed and the current is already flowing.

A while back, Tyler Carbol and I designed the CD packaging for Close to Home’s record “Standby”.
Turns out “Standby” has been a huge hit in Japan. Here is a pic of a display in a Tower Records store in Tokyo.

It’s always great to see your work out in the real world!

P.S. Grotto Madrid is coming along great! We are hard at work and I can’t wait to show you guys a little sneek peek in the next couple of weeks. Check back soon!
Hey everyone!
My good friend Tyler Carbol and I have started a clothing company called Grotto Madrid. We have been working on this for over a year now and the entire world will get a chance to see what we’ve been cooking up as we launch this October.
We are looking for guys and girls that would be interested in modeling our sweet digs. The pictures would be used in our new website and other marketing pieces.
If you would be interested at all please head over to Grotto Madrid’s myspace and send us a message letting us know that you would like more info.
IF YOU OR SOMEONE YOU KNOW ARE INTERESTED IN MODELING or HELPING US GET THE WORD OUT, LET US KNOW!
(we’re as serious as a heart attack)

Look at the similarities between the trailers of these two movies.
Crazy.
Makes you wonder if they did it on purpose.
I hope these inspire you like they’ve inspired me.
