I met with the band about wanting to make a music video for them. I asked if they would let me take ”We Have Everything” and come back with a finished video without any input or revisions on their part. To my surprise, they agreed and in the end they loved it and I loved making it.

Dusting off an old short animation.
I remembered an old animation I did about a weird looking guy taking a bus and having a bizarre trip, and I wanted to expand on those characters and stories.

Thank you to Ramiro Polla for holding on to this animation for all these years! I thought I had lost it forever and would not have been able to tell the story again without it. Thanks bro!

Some of you may recognize Jennifer Harris from some of my other work. This is her first major part in a music video. Harris had cameo appearances in the video for D-Tension’sRetro Futuristic Backpacker’s Special and Miracle Fortress Have You seen In Your Dreams (although harder to spot).

Half a year later, we decided to create a narrative sequel to ‘We Have Everything’ for ‘Peripheral Visionaries’. Again, the band let me run with it.

Antlers’ Tegne-Blokk lyric book

The Antlers’ Tegne-Blokk is a lyric book for their album Burst Apart (Tegne-Blokk is Norwegian for coloring book). The idea was to make a sort of ‘scrapbook’ of the recording of the album, using the original lyric sheets for the record. The center spread is an acetate composite of the album cover. Lyrics and Tegne-Blokk concept by the band, design by Sinbad Richardson with art direction by Aaron Seligman for The Cardboardbox Project.
