1/2 page ad for Urban Moto T-Shirts

 

Advertisement designed for Urban Moto’s T-shirts. I took the pictures in the ad of my sister. Yes, she’s of age, and no, you cannot have her phone number.

See previous version here.

I come up with and change the text for each issue of Urban Moto:

March ‘07:

Once upon a time, there was a girl with golden hair who wandered in drunk and stoned into Urban Moto’s office and found three T-shirts. She tried on the long sleeve one, and it was too big. Then she tried on the short sleeve T-shirt, and it was too small. Then she tried on the girls tank top and it fit just right. Just then, the managing editor, the art director and the art publisher – falling down drunk as usual – wandered in and saw the T-shirts spread across the floor. “Someone’s been wearing my T-shirt” mumbled the art director. “Someone’s been wearing my T-shirt” laughed the art director, “and it’s all stretched out!” “Someone’s been wearing my tank top,” said the managing editor and then kinda sputtered something unintelligible and passed out. The girl with the golden hair ran out the door with the tank top and was never seen or heard from again.

May/June ‘07:
In physics, mass-energy equivalence is the concept that all mass has an energy equivalence, and all energy has a mass equivalence. Special relativity expresses this relationship using the mass-energy equivalence formula E = mc² where E = the energy equivalent to the mass (in joules), m = mass (in kilograms), and
c = the speed of light in a vacuum (celeritas) (in meters per second).
This concept unites the concepts of conservation of mass and conservation of energy, allowing mass to be converted to forms of active energy (eg. kinetic energy, heat, or light) while still retaining mass. Also, active energy can be converted to particles which have rest mass. The total amount of mass and energy in a closed system remains constant. Energy cannot be created or destroyed, and in all of its forms, trapped energy exhibits mass. In relativity theory, mass and energy are two forms of the same thing, and neither one appears without the other.

Beer Labels for Nommesen/Hix Brewery

(click to see more labels)

I created a bunch of labels for bottles of beer that I have been brewing. We got pretty advanced and now brew 80 gallon batches. We were even toying with the idea of turning it into a business (who knows, maybe still?).

We switched from bottles and started kegging our beer in 2004, so unless I get a nice, easy to use bottling system, you probably won’t see any more labels from me for a while.

1/2 page ad for Urban Moto T-Shirt

Advertisement designed for Urban Moto’s T-shirts. It is meant to over-excentuate certain anatomical features of the female model and be irreverant. I took the photos in this ad.

I come up with and change the text for each issue of Urban Moto.

September ‘06:

Please send $20 with a long-winded story about that one time you has sex with that hottie from the coffee shop who rides that really cool bike. Also send a double-spaced essay on the Crimean War and its relevance to modern engineering. Oh, and beer.

October ‘06: 

Send $20 in small, unmarked bills in a leather suitcase. Please do not include any body parts, hot jewelry, or anything that can trace the transaction back to Urban Moto.

November ‘06:

Send $20, a copy of your driver’s liscence, your social security number, your mother’s maiden name, your favorite pet’s name – or better yet the pet itself – and your first born. Blonde and redheads preferred.

December ‘06:

$20.
Untraceable and no dye pack rejects please.
No mistakes this time.

January ‘07:

Don’t just stand around naked – cover your shame!* For the low price of $20, you’re halfway there.
*please forward us pictures of your shame.

February ‘07:

Please give us your name, rank, serial number, breast size, the length from your index finger to the tip of your elbo, the number of times you have had sex, the time, amount and size of all your anxieties, rounded to the nearest tenth, and the distance from your ego to the floor. Okay, now take that number, add Avagadro’s constant, keep subtracting π until you reach a prime number, convert to hexadecimal and arrange the sequence into alpha-numeric order.

Web site for Pilates instructor Dano Gregory

(link to site)

Dano Gregori wanted a site to help define his career as a Pilates instuctor. He wanted to break away from being defined as an employee of a particular Pilates studio by defining Dano Gregori Pilates as a brand.

Dano and I met when he bought one of may paintings from a show I had near the Pilates studio he was working at in San Francisco. After taking a look at my web page portfolio, he decided to try me out as a web designer.

The logo and font were chosen before I came into the picture. I encouraged Dano to get an 800 number because his location is more or less in flux. I also encourage him to take pictures of Pilates in action which I could sprinkle throughout his web site for visual interest. The result is the danogregori.com website that you see today.
