I highly suggest you watch this video in fullscreen. And in HD.

This video is part of my Fringe Focus Landscape Prints Kickstarter project. Get yourself some great prints from the locations in this video!

I shot this video throughout the month of February 2012 in New Zealand. It’s a compilation of quick shots from my travels. Hikes, campsites, trails, rivers, mountains, glaciers, volcanoes, even an animal or two.

I did a lot of one-day hikes throughout the country, as well as several 3-4 day hikes. I carried all of my gear in an ultralight backpack, with a small titanium stove, and tons of other tiny pieces of gear. I ate straight peanut butter with my fingers, got bloody toes, and smelled generally terrible.

It was an exhausting and incredibly rewarding journey. I hope this quick video is inspirational to you, since it really captures the intensity and vastness of a region far away. I’m looking forward to exploring more places, and as an independent artist I’ll need all the help I can get.

If you’re interested in grabbing some awesome photo prints of New Zealand, back my landscape project on Kickstarter. If you have any questions, hit me up on Twitter!

I was contacted by a local college prep school to give some design tips to their students.  The students were in an after school club that produces an annual creative magazine (full of poetry, short stories, and art).

After a quick rundown of my work, I gave six quick tips to improve their design skills. While some are obvious to an advanced designer, this presentation still is full of great tips for anybody looking to improve their work.

Apologies for the audio/video quality, this was shot on a webcam, haha.
