(DOT) SQUIRRELS Identity
Client: Me
Role: Graphic Designer
When: 2009
(DOT) SQUIRRELS is my LLC. For the corporate image, I wanted somehow to play off the idea of industrious worker squirrels building stuff, without being too literal. In my head, I was picturing the old boxes of screws and nails in my Dad’s basement growing up.
Interview With Pop Levi
Client: Antiquiet (AKA Me)
Role: Video Editor, Interviewer
When: 2009
So who knew I could edit video? Or interview people? We threw a little video shoot together backstage at Antiquiet’s Valentine’s Day Party, and I did the edit in Final Cut Pro last night.
Skwerl’s Guitar Yard Sale
Hey there everyone. So at the beginning of 2008, I had about seven guitars and five bands. Now it’s 2009, and I’ve got zero bands and a kid on the way. So it’s time to sell a few of my toys to make room for diapers and playpens and various other things for her to drool & poop on. Just wanted to set up a single page with all the details.

Antiquiet’s Valentine’s Day Party Flyer
Client: Antiquiet (AKA Me)
Role: Graphic Designer
When: 2009
I realize there are two ways to spell the word: flier, and flyer. Both apparently are valid. Since I’m a hockey fan from Philadelphia, I’m most comfortable with the latter.
I designed this flyer for a party Antiquiet threw at Enjoy Human downtown. I also hired the bands (8mm and Pop Levi), helped build the stage, and did live sound with Pro Tools multitrack recording with the help of Alex Schneiderman.
Underwriters Labs Widget
Client: PointRoll / Aquent
Role: Flash Developer
When: 2005
I’m not exactly sure what Underwriters Laboratories does. If you find this game fun, then you probably do. Joking aside though, this was an interesting challenge that I had fun solving.
Visit Britain Magnet Widget
Client: PointRoll / Aquent
Role: Flash Developer
When: 2005
I’m proud of this one. It was a great idea; a fun one to execute. And unlike some of the other old examples I’m digging out today, the functional demo isn’t ruined by newer Flash players or missing components done by other developers after my job was done.
Honda Civic / Maroon 5 Flash Widget
Client: PointRoll / Aquent
Role: Flash Developer
When: 2005
This project made me hate Maroon 5.
