Kuni Box



Kuni Automotive had a fun project for us. Help them secure a smart car dealership. They were heading down to Las Vegas to meet with United Auto who was in charge of setting up dealerships for this cute little car all over America. Kuni, with car dealerships in Portland, Seattle and Denver wanted to get in the action. From an initial drawing of an idea I had, we created a box that contained a kit to build the ultimate smart car dealership. It was complete with cars, dealerships, landscape and customers. Just color them in and punch them out for easy assembly. Carrie Asby produced it with Karl Schroeder, Tyler Kongsly and Eric Stevens providing a lot of the ingredients to make it cool. The kit was sent out to key decision makers prior to the big meeting in Las Vegas. It was very well received and Kuni ended up getting 2 smart car dealerships.

Artists for the Arts

I was flattered to get a call from Scott Huber and Carrie Asby asking for my participation in an ad campaign they were working on for Artists for the Arts. It was a lot of fun and all I had to do was provide the eye candy for the ad! Edis Jurcys took the photograph of me with the pouting face. I liked how the ad was laid out and hope that it was successful. Fortunately, this campaign wasn't all riding on my mug!

Beer Labels





We'd been doing ads and websites for Nestucca Ridge Developers so it came as no surprise when they asked us to help them out with some beer labels for one of their most well known properties, The Pelican Pub and Brewery. These seasonal beer labels kept the basic look of their traditional beers but we had fun coming up with names for the seasonal beers and doing a little customizing with the labels without losing the basic and core elements.
