A Prestigious Award!

What a week! My hosting provider, Dreamhost , held a simple retro t-shirt design contest. They were looking for designs for the 60's, 70's, 80's, and 90's. The prize was lifetime free hosting!! Unlimited space, and bandwidth!! wow! Well, I submitted 3 variations on the same design, and low and behold. I won! I was notified that I was 'best in decade'.

So here is one from several years ago I wanted to take out of the archives and share. I co-pitched this with my then-directing partner Alex Maxwell and the many great Mill artists and illustrators who helped us assemble the art in this deck. I just loved it so much I'm still gutted we never got the award. I saw the final, and all I can say is we should have got the award. :-) The brief came from Agency for their client Gillette. The concept was a Gillette top-secret research facility where their engineers worked out how to give the closest shaves to the Justice League. ( How d...
