Over the past few months I've had the opportunity to work on several really great book jackets, most of which I hope to post soon on my site. A few of these gems, regrettably, will never make it to the book shelf. Regardless, I enjoyed working on them and thought it was worth showing a few of my latest killed projects.

I recently teamed up with Arnold Worldwide in D.C. to work on a new campaign for Amtrak's Acela train service. The campaign includes a 30-second Acela spot that will appear on video screens in New York City cabs. Online ads will appear on sites including NYTimes.com, Google, MSN and Yahoo. Print ads will run in various news publications including The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal.

See samples here

Working with art director Rebecca Mabie on the ads has been really great. We are finishing the last few bits now though the campaign has launched and can be scene around the city and in print.
