In Sleepy Hollow Season 2 we had a fictional demonic medical cult that was developing ways to birth Moloch into the human realm via a supernatural pregnancy. We had some logos interesting fictional computer screens to make it look like some evil stuff was going on.
Here’s an assortment of photo composites that I’ve made for various shows. Some for Set Dec and some for inserts. They reflect a range of techniques and processes. There’s multiple old photos we had to match to different backgrounds, new photography to blend into old photos, and taking original photos and manipulating them in various ways to achieve story points.
There’s finesse, artistic knowledge and creativity in putting these together. They definitely need planning to make work right, but can be done successfully.
I’ve done loads of food and product labels throughout my work. Here’s a random assortment to show the variety and uniqueness. Some we’ve made complete boxes for, some were just printed and stuck on existing product.
Here’s an assortment of banners and fictional ride artwork for an amusement park set that was shot as an actual abandoned amusement park in myrtle beach.  Very tight time constraints on these ones.
A bunch of graphics I did for Hannagan’s, a fictional Americana Memorabilia-decorated restaurant, E.G. TGI Fridays or Ruby Tuesdays circa 1990. There’s fictional stained glass printed on plexi, menus, table tents, door etch-mark and booth separators.
A mural I did for the Youth Activity Center on Army Wives Season 6. I did it in a bit of a Art Nuveaux style to make things colorful and interesting. The rough sketch was done by hand, the layout was done in Photoshop, and the artwork was done in Illustrator.
For Army Wives season 6 we went to Africa to do peacekeeping. Due to the sensitive nature of the story, the writers opted to make a fictional country instead of a real one, thus was born “Narubu.” This included the creation of maps, TV news, web pages and more to make the place seem real. I’ve included an assortment of the items we’ve created to help flesh out this non-existant place. I hand-drew every road, river and railway in the country. I used a mix of topography from various African countries to develop the idea that the country was split with a mountain range, divided into east and west segments. All of the city, river and lake names imply a historical french colonization as well as a resurgent indigenous culture.
Here’s some computers screens we did for the Narubu briefing room. Many were animated. Some were static.
Here’s a cool patch I drew for the “Saber-tooth gang” that the hero of “Naked” runs into over and over again. Here’s a small step-by-step process gallery. Starting from the loose mockup that was given to me to start with, to the rough sketch, to the final output artwork.
Here is a map that I created to show that the Monroe Republic means business! Done for season 1 of Revolution
