i've been out of the country for a few days, but i just got back this afternoon and i found an email on typographyserved.com letting me know that "oh mercy" had been featured on their site. i've been a fan of typographyserved.com for a while now, so it was a very nice surprise on coming back from a much-needed vacation. thanks to those guys for featuring us, much appreciated.
also, while you're at it, adah design has a page on the behance network, the "linked in" for creatives. you can check us out here.
Clayton's Story from Jacob Lewis on Vimeo.
Shot this in March of '09. It was intended to be a narrative piece, but grew into a docu-drama as the story created a story within itself.
Some technical info: Shot on the RED ONE with an 18-50 f2.8 CF Lens. Edited in 2K [via ProRes] on Final Cut Pro. Front & tail graphics designed by Matt Daniels in Illustrator and animated by me in After Effects.
dj b. willackers is a local artist and dj here in the southeast. hugo from the southeast scene blog, Smile For Camera, said this about willacker's latest mix, R2D2WHEREAREU?, "Mad upbeat that’s more on the grindy, glitchy, twitchy, side of things (aka the DARK side). But I guess that’s how hyperspace is supposed to be, huh? What do you have to say R2D2?…Exactly!" needless to say, i'm a fan. you can be a fan too. check out b. willacker's mix here or check out his myspace page and all his wild art.
here's a free handset font i developed for a couple specific projects a while back. it was one
of those days when i really couldn't find exactly what i was looking for so i just decided to make it. it's a bit tech and a bit folksy. like bob dylan in the eighties. it's "oh mercy."
i've made "oh mercy" available for download here as an eps file. again, it's handset so it can get tedious if you've got lots of type, but hey...it's free.
This is a follow up post from a few weeks back. I was commissioned to create a series of pages for a graphic novel project whose goal was to tell the same story that Michelangelo's seven panels tell in the Sistine Chapel. A number of amazing artists were involved, and the printed novel should be published later this year. I chose to create my part of the story very simply, using typography and geometric shapes. These panels were printed out at large poster size. I'll be posting photos of the actual exhibit soon.
i've been doing some in-camera experiments lately. trying to recreate some of the stuff i've been doing in photoshop in 3 dimensional space. at some point i'd like to get really sophisticated with this kind of stuff, including more layers and my sweet old etcetera.
i've been slowly working on a design / writing / photography project where i take prose and pare it with my photography, arranging it on a grid. it's kind of an experiment for me. i like seeing the unexpected ways that meaning is amplified and augmented through context. i've also been trying to vary the word choice according to the image and vice versa. here's one of the early pieces. my hope is to have a short piece done by year's end.
i did a two-man show a couple months ago with local charlotte, nc artist, brandon willett where we set a theme and a general style and then worked separately over the period of a few months. the work i did was an almagamation of photography, painting and layout and prose; trying to mix many of the art forms in which i work into a singular expression.
during the spring in charlotte, most mornings begin with fog. an impermeable mist blankets the piedmont in a dreamy haze. it's a transitional device that eases us out of winter. a few mornings ago i remembered to bring my camera. here's one of the resulting pieces. title = "i set fire to me when i set fire to you"
