It’s always a blast making shorts at Organicism Farms.  Watch a quick video recap of their year and take a look at what they’re growing for the Fall.

In the Summer of 2008 I brought back the glory days of scootering with this vintage inspired Vespa art print.

I created this .ttf font in December of 2009 and it was inspired by Jessica’s handwriting on chalkboards used at our farmer’s market booth in Knoxville, TN.

Three of A Kind isn’t your typical bank robbery flick, but a story that brings an unlikely twist to this tried and true genre.

I produced this quick 60 second film for Organicism Farms in August 2010. While okra is one of their favorite crops to eat, picking it isn’t quite as fun.

In June of 2007 I had the pleasure of recording the Avett Brothers at an instore appearance at local Knoxville retailer, The Disc Exchange.

While the Indy MotoGP may not be the favorite event of the riders on the calander, for the American fan it provides a great experience. 

The following are some of my favorite graphic design projects from Organicism Farms during 2010.

These photos of the city that doesn’t sleep were taken on a Christmas trip in December of 2010.

I built this bar in the Spring of 2009 to display fruits and vegetables from my farm Organicism Farms at local farmer’s markets.

This side table made from a real floor tom brings the spirit of Keith Moon into your living room.

A coffee table made out of a kick drum?  This table brings together rock n’ roll, your living room, and a cup of coffee like no other.

About a week ago my dad was kind enough to pass on his old Bultaco Astro 146 360cc dirt tracker that had been in storage since the late 1990s. 

Stock CB360 carbs are getting harder and harder to find. When I discovered the diaphragms of the stock carbs on my CB360T were ripped, I decided to upgrade to a set of Mikuni VM32 carburetors.

My media center Hackintosh died unexpectedly after only 1 year of use and I decided that I wanted to do something more unique for my next media center PC. 

Buzzing down Martin Mill Pike I clicked the bike into third gear and threw it into a hard right corner. Remembering this was a buddy’s borrowed bike I backed off a bit but not for long as the DiCloudio’s “Killer Bee” Yamaha RD350 just kept begging for more.

Let’s face it, in today’s world if you or your business isn’t accepting credit cards, you’re losing out on sales. 

Corb Lund and The Hurtin’ Albertans – Horse Soldier! Horse Soldier! (2008) It’s not often that a country band such as Corb Lund and the Hurtin’ Albertans has so much acclaim and success, yet is still relatively unknown in America’s country music scene.
