Sometimes I do things that are not advertising.
I (really my wife) renovated a vacation rental in the Catskills because that is what art directors do now apparently.
I’ve also done things as silly as making wedding rings for creative partners to commit to each other. Creatively.
CREATIVE PROMISES -
Ring concept and design for 3D print with promotional micro site and online store. Teaming up with Michael Kleinman, we created these rings to celebrate the bond between Art Director and Copywriter.Finding a great creative partner is tough, but keeping one is tougher. Off on vacation? What creative shiksa might come in and take a brief while you're gone? What if they crack it, get poached, and you come back to an empty desk. And what about production company lunches? Not to mention award shows, it's just so hard to keep your eyes on them in a sea of beards. These are the many concerns of the modern advertising creative partner. Luckily there's Creative Promises. Matching rings that tell the world you're taken. Happily betrothed to the concepting buddy of your dreams. The Doyle to your Dane Bernbach. The J to your WT. The BBD to your O.

Comic Spurs:
An ironic font that somehow offended design nerds AND got a free letter from Microsoft legal department.
"With Comics Spurs, the trend Kleinman and Byrnes-Enoch want to skewer is the lame typography of every artisinal coffee shop chalkboard or bespoke food court franchise. “It was intended as a joke about how fake everything seems now, with words like ‘artisanal’ and ‘bespoke’ thrown around like they mean nothing at all,” Kleinman tells me. “Comic Spurs is the font for that fakeness.”
