I just got back from a fun adventure to Peru. Lots of good food, nice folks, and coco leaves. I got to see a lot of the country from the beach, to the jungle, and up in the Andes. I’ll share more when the full story goes live.

Dear Jerks,
This is a short film I found out about a few years back. It has become one of my favorite movies to watch (other then Christmas Vacation) during the holidays. So as a gift to those 5 people who check my blog I want to show you this. I particularly like the directors choice of having the humans always really pissed off at the trees for being alive, snuck in with some “Shindler’s List” undertone moments. Great in context. An appropriate link for the name of my site I think.

Happy Holidays,
Sayer

I’m really excited about the last few months of work. In particular my first nationally broadcasted commercial. Watch out for it on ESPN, FSN, Fuel, and possibly a few others. It features giant christmas presents with machines exploding out of them. I wanted it to be hard to miss. I herd its been playing on most channels now. Its suppose to be up through this month and most of december
Thanks for the support.

This is one of my favorites of the new Ad spots I did for 2011 Kawasaki.

This is a “horror epic” spot that comments on society’s obvious disregard for the growing amount of high fructose corn syrup among beverage company’s and their constant campaigning to or nations youth… or we were just fucking around in an ohio corn field one day after a shoot and had a can of Fanta.

go check out all of it on my flickr set

For the last couple of months i have been buried in art projects in between my work and travel. One of the main ones is a group show with the String Harmonic and Gretsch Guitars. Each artist was given a acoustic guitar and asked to paint it to be auctioned off for charity. The Show happens this week (Aug 5, in Santa Monica)
here is my finished guitar for those who cant make it to the show. Come out if you can make.

I made this feature from the little amount of video I shot in Paris. I had tons of fun there and would recommend going there if you have never been. When you go remember some French phrases or else you’ll get ignored mostly. The French don’t take too kindly to the Americans so try kissing there ass a little. If you are fat there is a good chance you’ll get laughed at (i saw it happen twice, luckily it wasn’t at me). The trains are super easy to navigate, but stop running way to early, cab drivers aren’t too happy to drive drunk americans back to there hostel. Bring comfy walking shoes, and don’t twist your ankle on the 2nd night there sneaking into a jungle gym, because you will most likely hate visiting the Louvre once you see how fucking huge it is. If you want to see the Mona Lisa do that first else you’ll end up 5 miles away from it and be like “I’ve seen it in my art history books…fuck it.” Bring your wide angle lens to take pictures of the Eiffel Tower or get ready to walk a mile away from it because its also fucking huge. Defiantly go to the catacombs and hang out near the many canals, there is always people there to watch. If you want to go back after that will be up to you. Next Trip…

If you can make it all the way through this it will make you laugh harder and harder. trust me. I love nature so hard!

This is turning into a blog about the BRAT. I’ll stop after this… unless something really cool happens… I promise.
