We are seriously happy that Barack Obama will be our next President. I made this logo redesign early Wednesday morning and put it up in an easy cafepress store if you’d like to get it on a shirt, mug or tote bag … kids sizes too!

From PSST! 3, to be released in November 2008 January 2009?

A frame from a short documentary / animation I collaborated on with Director Joey Garfield. Should be released shortly.

A frame from a pitch I didn’t win. Hopefully, this will become a short film if I can ever get done with PSST! 3.

A selection of work from 2006-2008 condensed for your pleasure into a 2 minute morsel.
The track is “Soul ‘69 Pt.2″ by A-Ko

The whole family out for a stroll. This is all of our thumbprints: Leonardo, Myla, Lora and me. Thanks Ed Emberly for teaching me how to draw!

It’s part of a poster series that Brian Gossett, Stephen Kelleher and myself are doing to benefit a charity and to promote walking instead of driving a car. It will be screenprinted in an edition of 50 18″x23″ and will be on sale for $40. All proceeds from my poster sales will go to Group For the East End.

Thanks to Peter at Polluted Eyeball for printing them up magnificently!

Title: Costs Of War

Concept, Direction, Soundtrack + Animation by Bran Dougherty-Johnson / Grow Design Work

$720 Million a day is being spent on the war in Iraq. I think that money could be used in a lot better ways.

Title: Truth + Deception

Concept, Direction, Soundtrack + Animation by Bran Dougherty-Johnson / Grow Design Work

Short film based on the open brief for 2008’s Twenty120 theme “Truth vs. Deception.” I decided not to really go the versus route, since I’m a lover, not a fighter. The truth is messy: that’s the gist of the short.

The film is now live on the Twenty120 site as of July 18th. There was a free public screening at Cinespace in LA on July 17th in LA.
