my cv forever under construction

revised spring 2005

 

i started my career about 100 years ago designing airports and hotels and airport hotels et al. there had to be more to life than banquettes and reception desks so after a spells of being an extra, a dancer and a journalist, i started art directing. during the last 22 years i have been responsible for the design of a couple of hundred commercials and about a million music promos. to make me better at my job I occasionally direct. here's a list of a few ever changing credits, to see some stills click some of the buttons or targets below. moving pics on the way but don't hold your breath.
