I’ve been busy burning the midnight oil on some big projects that I’m just finishing up. First, I’ve been working on a website for Bicycle Life Coaching, my wife’s new Life Coaching business. Second, I made a clean and simple portfolio site for Tom Blandford, a copywriting/directing/acting/photoing/voiceovering extraordinaire. And last but not least, I’ve been working on album layouts for two great Chicago bands Baby Teeth and JC Brooks and the Uptown Sound. I’ll be sharing those soon…now back to work!

This animated short film was recently made using that interview as the soundtrack. Great interview, amazing animation, it’s worth the five minutes.
