PUBLIC SCHOOL

Your Face Here

Attention everyone! We received news from PUBLIC SCHOOL partner, Will Bryant that he’ll be heading off to an actual school next semester. He is leaving in June to study for his MFA at Portland State. Though we’re excited about his achievement, his absence will be felt greatly and he’ll be missed dearly.

What does that mean for everyone else? We’re finally going to be making a decision on who will fill his spot, so if you haven’t put your name in the hat, do so now. We’re open to suggestions as to what type of creative will fill the position. Though we’ve been an all male establishment until now, it doesn’t mean we’re not open to female applicants either.

We Like These People

We like people that like cool stuff, are prolific, know a thing or two about 80′s movies, like the Space Shuttle, know that “Redneck Girl likes to ride in daddy’s pick up truck“, know how to operate The Twitter and The Facebook and has hilarious Youtube clips bookmarked for our enjoyment.

We Could Use These People

Qualities that might win you extra special attention from our resumé sifting robot would be graphic designer, video skills or web/app development. Though we’re not trying to craft our new girlfriend based on the traits of our old girlfriend, the traits of Will Bryant that we dug were his hilarious personality, spontaneous dancing, Michael Jordan references and constant stream of kitty pictures on Instagram. Of course his Boy Scout work ethic and immeasurable creativity were exceptional as well.

Get Your Name In The Hat

In all seriousness, there isn’t going to be any sort of formal selection process outside of just seeing who is interested and figuring out who might be a good fit for our current creative needs. This isn’t a paid position. We’re all freelancers here so it essentially would amount to the selected person having a desk in the design side of the office. There are perks though, like being able to print on Cody’s printer without ever having to pay for toner or paper.

To get your name in the hat just contact us and tell us a little about yourself and how you think you could contribute to the mix. Thanks everyone and good luck to William!

TEDxAustin Video

Our buddy Garrett Johnston was asked to direct a video about the manifesto of the TEDxAustin conference, which took place this past Saturday. We were asked to help produce it in conjunction with him and the post-production work of Cory Ryan. The resulting video is after the jump.

World of Geekcraft

Roughly a year ago Cody, Will and myself were asked by Chronicle Books in San Francisco to produce a book Susan Beal was publishing with them. Titled World of Geekcraft (now on sale), it is a collection of 25 handmade geeky themed projects. It took us about 6 months of production time for the photography, illustration and design and last week we finally got an advance copy of the finished product.

Eddie Burns

A couple months back my buddy Adam Fortner called and asked if I could photograph actor and director, Eddie Burns for him. I obliged, and grabbed a few quick portraits while he was at the Driskill Hotel for a film festival. When I told people I was photographing him, the responses were split along gender lines. The guys knew him from Saving Private Ryan. The girls all said The Holiday and 27 Dresses.

Growing Pains

Last fall, we decided this blog couldn’t keep freeloading around up here at the studio. It was beginning to require more time and resources to maintain, so it was time for it to grow up and start paying some bills. The haste of our decision meant that it ran out and got the first job it could. That job was displaying Google Ads. Boy was that a mistake.
