“Orange Island is the earliest emergent landmass of Florida dating from the middle Rupelian ~33.9—28.4 Ma. geologic stage of the Early Oligocene epoch and named for Orange County, Florida, United States of America. By the Early Oligocene, sea levels rose almost as much as during the late Eocene. During the warm Eocene ~55.8—33.9 Ma., what was to become Florida (Florida Platform) was a carbonate bank with shallow sea covering it. Parts of the platform remained above water creating Orange Island, a low relief island just 150 km (93 mi) south of the Oligocene Georgia coastline and Bainbridge Subsea with a shallow channel, the Gulf Trough or Suwannee Strait, separating the two...”

I decided to use the approach of clay. The process feels more appropriate for how I sculpt and see form. Plus, I can put myself in a corner with what colors I can use. With this, I believe I’ll develop further.

I worked with the Mediacom Creative Services (CS) Team on this project during the concept exploration stage. The initial idea to connect the 25-year-old brand (Pokémon), 25-year-old artist (Post Malone), and a 25 -year-old hit (Only Wanna Be With You) was lead by Marcelo Dzialoszynski and Emiliano Zapata. After Pokémon’s approval the exploration stage insued to see how this connection could play out.
More than 10 months later, the final result was an animated virtual concert (video) put on by Post Malone using a full Mo-Cap suit and all. Prior to this final direction we explored creating an interactive virtual festival. This festival would be the ultimate expression of familiarty fans have with the iconic Pokémon brand mixed with being at a full-scale music festival. At the end of the day, Pokémon decided to go with a non-interactive video partly due to time limitations and to our surprise – IP complications. It’s very unfortunate but I hope the idea gets to live on one day.
My focus during this lengthy process was to develop ways to gamify the virtual festival. Leverage the love of playing Pokémon games, exploring environments, conquering gyms, capturing unique Pokémon and winning merchandise. The team used Fortnite’s Travis Scott concert as an inspiration. I studied the experience Fortnite players had and explored ways to amplify, build-on and extend them to the realm of Pokémon.

Jordan Rivals
Footlocker worked with Jordan on an exclusive line of clothing and shoes called Jordan Rivals. Footlocker asked The Times to create a campaign that’d live on different social channels.
I worked on project planning, organizing and sourcing materials, and worked with set design. I was in charge of asset management and did file running during the shoots. I conducted live editing to get the work out in a timely fashion.
Illustrated the graphic outlines for New York, Los Angeles, and Detroit. Created the social videos and edited the photography for the social campaign.
