Hola! Everyone! Its been WAY too long but I have spent the good part of this year on set. And, to show for it, will once again be visiting Park City tagging along with a good parcel of the Seattle Filmmaking Community to represent Seattle Independent Filmmakers with at least(?) films. And counting. (I'll be there with the amazing cast and crew of Safety Not Guaranteed (check out the US

Oh.  for Pete sake. I wish I had time to do this. (a blog post) Working on a feature, and I'd love to share, but my time is managed. But we sure had an Incredible time in Park City! The town is Lovely, the weather is Bad Ass, the films are Top Shelf. I insist we All go again next year!! Seattle was Stupendous! (4-fer-Four!) It was incredible.

As part of a Spring campaign for a client, I built these images on foam core cut-out over a light table.  The entire image size was 5'x8' original.  The image was being shot from overhead with a Hasselblad H3D and, while it would be simple enough for it to be manipulated in post to avoid 'wasting' all the fresh floral, the final image would be printed in multiple media, including a direct mail

I love stickers just like the next kid.  but it still feels like cheating. Here is how we used a garden collection from Wee Gallery the set of The Details (due out fall'10):   Stickers and vinyl decals are a simple and quick means to add whimsy or panache to any room with out committing to hours of sketching details free hand or from a projected image. And the vinyl are typically 'removable

I recently found colourlovers.com and have since logged a few hours creating palettes and even 'new' colors that I get to name! This fun pass time is proving to be an inspirational resource and valuable design tool. Of course, I've always known that a pattern can create atmosphere or evoke an emotion .   And that in hand with color, can be an amazingly persuasive design force. But I've mostly

I am happy to be working on another project with 2 of my favorite and talented friends: Darryl Bernstein and Wendy Dreaney.   Darryl has been commissioned to do a series of images in the satirical style that he is well know for. Together, we have a history of large campaigns and have developed an easy style of communication that makes producing complicated projects a piece of cake. So far that

I've just dumped this set into the trash. Generally, after the client gets their image, thats the way it goes.  It filled my garage, took 2 days to cure and looked perfect: sculpted with carpet, roofing composite, concrete and orchre pigment, I built a minature Elah Valley for the fall of Goliath.  I can't show you the final image until it is published, but trust me, it will be award winning!

After college and while I was working on the Pacific Coast Stock Exchange Options floor, I applied, was accepted and trained in the SF MOMA's Children's docent program.  MOMA was living at the Veterans War Memorial Building then; there was a lot of marble and grandeur. It was quite a privilege and responsibility. It took a large time commitment and a small financial investment, which sometimes

Hi Dad, Thanks for the updates! (see below)  We've just been decorating and The Mr's been doing a little shopping for giftieses. I mailed you guys down a box of nonsuch.   Since we don't really do 'presents' anymore, its just smalls for color so you won't feel left out on Christmas morning. For Colin, I included a photography book by a french actor about facial expressions.  Its pretty funny.

The beauty of Paella is that it is so versatile: it's basically a stovetop casserole with local ingredients. Regional specialtiesinfluence the flavors. I love the seafood/pork flavor combo common in a Portuguese Cataplana and thought to be inspired during the Inquisition. More traditional would be a single protein flavor with a vegetable (ie:rabbit/artichoke or squid/scallion)But my favorite

Truth is I am blessed to be surrounded with talented artistic souls. And especially on this project. As a Set Dresser on this dark comedy shot in Seattle this summer, I crewed up with a tight knit posse of skill, talent, and sass.  I felt honored to participate.  My lovely Decorator was someone I've admired for a while.  My Leadman is from my home town. This project felt like kismet.

I've lost the photo credit for this scrap that's been tacked up over my desk for months. I don't even remember which mag its from. This is my late submission to Alek at From The Left Bank, for her "What's your style in one picture" Challenge? that she offered up late this summer. As much as I am drawn to light and airy like the next moth,  we constantly return to the continental classics;

Today I learn to make a souffle. A spinach souffle (what's not to love about spinach and eggs w/cheese?!) Requiring a souffle dish, I sourced a basic one (Portuguese, not French) at Ross, of all places! (we often find great values on ceramics at TJMaxx as well; I found Polish terra cotta yesterday!) My first inspiration came from a beautiful image with the Barefoot Contessa's recipe.I can't

I am exhilarated and inspired by my latest project, dressing the MV Alucia: This month, I am not only enjoying the distinct treat of dressing the Alucia for editorial photos with Neil Rabinowitz, but staging her for show as well.

A long and dreary early summer day in Seattle can really be a drag.So, to jump start this day, I took in a leisurely cafe au lait with my new friend Kris, a writer/director I meet while working on Black Coffee for SIFF's Fly Films.10 hours into later, it was still gray.So it was with grungeful motivation that I attended the 4th Friday Happy Hour at Barca hosted by the Seattle Mayor's office of

In SeaTac: Spring came and went this week in 3 days. Looks like Winter again in May. Awesome. note to self: book ticket south a.s.a.p. (maybe explains all the rust colored coeds and the skin cancer rate in the PNW). In SF: SFIFF opened with Coppola and Redford among others. Familia obligations prevailed and we totally missed Peter Greenaway's "Rembrandts' J'Accusse".(

I've side stepped it all these years:fraternities, sororities, pledge groups (with dues and obligations), hair clubs, club cards, card tricks...But as of today, I am 'obligated'.

Everyone loves this:Goma-aeBoth Boyfriend and Dad can't get enough of this yummy treat, and while it may seem exotic at the restaurant, it is simple and inexpensive to make.Boyfriend sourced this NY Times recipe  that can easily take variations.  I followed the original recipe first time-round, but the 2nd time I used Trader Joe's tahini to suppliment the ground sesame and I really think it

The weather has been like cement all day: the shades of grey are infinite. A rainbow sparkled momentarily when, I was awarded the prestigious, "Cool Twitter Name of the Day" by StoryofMyLife.com .Now that party is over, I've gone back to chores. And working on art direction for BaoTran's Film "Black Coffee". Chosen for SIFF 2009 Fly Film Challenge, Bao and his crew follow strict guide lines

I really thought I'd get a few little juicers from my beautiful plant, but the dozens of delicious smelling clusters have fallen, one by one to the floor.  I've had to use imported Meyers to supplement my frozen cache to make my tarts.  But tasty they are.  I am learning the tricks of not overblending the butter into the pastry and as an experiment, I added the last crumbs of toasted oat cereal

I've realized why it has taken so long to make an initial posting:I'm simply afraid it will be mediocre. I need to accept that sometimes it might only be that. And sometimes it will be good. And sometimes top notch. check it: a dear lady, name of Erica, actually went searching for the recipe online to my left-over St. Patrick's Day Corned Beef & Soggy Cabbage Shepherds Pie. She liked the looks
