Touching On The Week That Was.

Work… pretty much a party everyday. Spent a vast amount of time immersing ourselves in album artwork for Love The Empire… so I’ll drop a few photos we iPhoned as we took the ideas and sketches to layout. We also started to build a few wallpapers for the iPhone and iPod Touch – so I’ve put one up below as a little advance on what Love The Empire will be dropping along with the new album.

Big time thanks to Caronlina Garofina and Christina Lynnsey Neff for the work they did on this project as well as the rest of The Brosociates crew.

With Our Eyes On The Prize.

From The Overflow 2010 pre-launch campaign. We dressed up the twitter as well which you can follow at: http://www.twitter.com/overflowyouth

Respect.

I saw this. I like this.

Because I Truly Believe We Are Better Together.

The first edition of a more-involved to come… development of campaign and branding. Here’s the vision behind the scene.

We are tired of doing things on our own.
We are tired of watching the world trying to do things on its own.
After all… the things we can accomplish together are far greater than what we do apart.
And at this point… We are talking about far more than Fall Retreat itself.

One weekend of shenanigans, ruckus… tomfoolery – far from the goal.
This is the beginning.
In these actions… these acts of together.
We become advocates…
Advocates for fixing what’s wrong.
Advocates for the lives of others.
At home. And abroad.

Because this is what we are learning.
We are all connected.
Broken people. Hurting lives. They are tired too.
Getting together…. not something we do.
It is who we are.

Life is better shared.
And it is here.. that we find life.
When we are more focused on one another, than fixated on ourselves.
Perhaps that is because it is only in the giving of life to one another…
where we really find our own?

And if this is true… it leaves a somewhat daunting question…
What do I love more?
My life? Or the lives others?

One and Only.

Just before we headed down the East Coast, spent some time shooting with the kids of Central for the fall campaign “One and Only.” Our hearts beat for bigger things. And each of us have something to offer – so why waste the opportunities we have? That’s the story being told here. Here’s a quick capture on a mock background. Will post some of the work for this shortly.
