"Icky Ricky" Book Promo

Icky Ricky is a book series by Michael Rex about the grossest kid on the face of the planet. When Random House approached me about this, I wasn't sure I would have time to squeeze it in. But then I saw the illustrations and knew I had to find a way to do this.

The notes from the producer were hilarious, suitable for framing - stuff like "more farts" and "adjust booger texture."

Bennett Innovations 2013 Website

After a year of discussions and a few false starts, the new bimedia.biz is based on a single edict: maintain the clean design and zesty animations of the existing site built in 2004 but build the thing entirely without Flash to maintain compatibility with mobile devices.

The end result sports all sorts of fancy new features and nerdy back-end functions including purpose-built plugins and lots of custom short-codes.

With all the samples of the company's video, audio and, yes, interactive projects, it's a thing of nerdy beauty.

Jinx Trailer

For this promotional trailer for Jinx, a new book series by Sage Blackwood published by HarperCollins, the client asked for something that conveyed mystery, wonder and just a hint of danger and trepidation.

The end result turned out rather lovely, I think. Not bad for only having the layered PSD of the cover art for source material.

Sound design by the magically-coiffured musical genius Greg McGuirk.
