Yesterday Sullivan&Lane was the featured at the top banner on Altpick.com, known as the Member Focus section.  Kyle and I’s photo-illustration project has been on Altpick for nearly three years now, and while we’ve had thousands of clicks in those years the activity has never been as dramatic as yesterdays netting a total of 10% increase over all those years of clicks.  Now if I could only tell if those were Photo Editors and Art Buyers, or just other curious photogs and illustrators….hummm…regardless, amazing click rate, thanks Altpick.

Rose & Crown – Cheers.  The World Cup Is Here.

A campaign of Billboards, Print Ads, and POP displays that we shot earlier this year with CFD have been popping up around AZ recently featuring Steve Nash of the Phoenix Suns to Promote APS Renewable Initiatives, featuring Nash with various energy saving appliances.  APS is Arizona’s largest and longest serving power company and being as both my home and studio are powered by APS, it’s nice to get a little flow coming back in this direction from them!

The Schuff-Perini Climber finally opens this Summer at the Phoenix Children’s Museum. Installation of the Climber has been taking place since September 14th.  During the construction period, 50 tons of steel was brought into the Museum’s Atrium and erected on site.

In order to finish the Climber, the Children’s Museum of Phoenix needed to raise some money so we stepped up to the plate and got a little crazy with the kiddos at Legend City Studios one afternoon last fall and helped to create these Raise the Climber ads which Moses-Anshell put the finishing design & illustration touches on.

Fun facts from their website, the Climber is constructed of 50 tons of structural steel which equals:

• 4 school buses
• 10 adult elephants
• 1,539 adult male javelinas
• 11,976 gallons of water
• 80,000 basketballs
• 400,000 apples
• 5.35 million yellow chick Peeps
• 18.1 million pennies
• 160 billion butterflies

I took a road trip with my buddy and fellow photog Ryan Nicholson last week.  The intention was to head to Santa Fe Worshops for a crash course in HD Video production and well let’s just say sometimes things just don’t work out as planned…workshop was a bust and was canceled at the last minute but we hit the road anyhow.  Along the way we cruised through Monument Valley on a misty evening, this was just one one small vignette we stumbled across.
