Agency Ham

With this project, we gave people something that was easy on the eyes and good for the soul.

Agency Ham was a 2010 calendar of Colle+McVoy's finest conceptual beefcakes. All proceeds went to the United Way and Community Health Charities.

Besides being picked up by ad blogs (like AdFreak, Ads of the World, Agency Spy, Creativity and The Denver Egotist), coverage for Agency Ham included articles in the local papers and a news interview with me. Broadcast on Fox's local affiliate, it was filmed on location during one of the "pin up" shoots. Thanks to all the press, this project raised over $12,000 in its short two-week run.

Use Your Voice

Every election since I've been old enough to vote, I've heard the news say that people (especially young people) don't deliver on their promise to vote. This flashmob event–an extracurricular project–was intended to push apathetic voters to the polls by reminding them that not voting is a disturbing form of self-censorship.


The details:
• Downtown Minneapolis at rush hour on the night before the 2008 Presidential elections.
• Passers-by were stunned as 50 people (the commuters, the couple waiting to go into a restaurant, the bicyclist, even the busking guitar player) suddenly taped their mouths shut with gags that read: Use Your Voice Nov.4

AIGA

During a project for the American Institute Of Graphic Arts, we discovered that many of the terms employed by designers have an inherent dark side to them ("widow", "orphan", "bleed"). With this in mind we developed "Design... Not for the Faint of Heart", a macabre site that tested the knowledge of students and young designers across the world.

The object was to find all 25 design terms hidden in the grim scene and win the poster. T-shirts were also made available, and we ended up with orders from Stockholm to Osaka, Sao Paulo to Bemidji.

Lotology

For the Global Lottery Collectors Society, playing the lottery has little to do with winning a big jackpot. This unique group, who call themselves lotologists, collects scratch tickets and memorabilia from lotteries around the world.

Lotology is a short documentary that explores why these quirky collectors save millions of lottery tickets each, and why they believe that an unscratched ticket is worth more than any prize lurking under the latex.

I was the co-director, co-writer and art director of this film, and am now trying to get it accepted at film festivals.

Here is the (barebones) film website. And here is a sample of the press we've started receiving:
