1923

VP, Creative Director

1923, a Yellowstone origin story, introduces a new generation of the Dutton family as they explore the early 20th century, including the rise of Western expansion, Prohibition, and the Great Depression.

Following the Duttons through a period of famine, drought and economic depression in Africa, 1923 serves as both a prequel to the Yellowstone main series and a sequel to the previous Yellowstone spinoff, 1883.

Distinguished by the ineffable star power of Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren, this Yellowstone prequel amassed 7.4 million total viewers across Paramount+ streaming and multiple Paramount Network airings, and the linear viewing alone via Paramount Network made it the biggest series premiere on cable for 2022.

MAYOR OF KINGSTOWN S1

VP, Creative Director

Mayor of Kingstown is an American crime thriller television series created by Taylor Sheridan and Hugh Dillon. The series premiered on November 14, 2021, on Paramount+. In February 2022, the series was renewed for a second season, which premiered on January 15, 2023.

Kingstown, Michigan is a (fictional) company town where the business is incarceration. The McLusky family have been keeping the peace in Kingstown for decades, acting as the moderators between the street gangs, prisoners, guards, and the cops. Tackling themes of systemic racism, corruption, and inequality, the series provides a stark look at their attempt to bring order and justice to a town that has neither.

WACO: THE AFTERMATH

VP, Creative Director

This five-part drama series portrayed the searing aftermath of the disastrous FBI 1993 standoff at the Branch Davidian compound – an event that helped radicalize Timothy McVeigh, Terry Nichols and many others. For better or for worse, the actions and decisions of that fateful spring galvanized American militia movements and helped catalyze events that led up to the Oklahoma City Bombing.

INK MASTER 15

VP, Creative Director

Legendary fan favorite artists return to compete in the ultimate tattoo competition. Hosted by Joel Madden, the artists battle it out, facing some of the most epic & exciting challenges. All for the biggest prize...$250,000 and the title of INK MASTER.

WOLF PACK

VP, Creative Director

Wolf Pack was an American supernatural teen drama television series created by Jeff Davis for Paramount+, and based on the 2004 book of the same name written by Edo van Belkom.

The show focused on two teenagers who were caught in a wildfire and are wounded by a supernatural creature. In the aftermath, they discover they’re werewolves, and develop an intense bond together. The two team up, and encounter two other teenagers, the adoptive children of a park ranger, who went through a similar strange wildfire sixteen years ago.

Everyone knew that Buffy the Vampire Slayer was a huge influence on Teen Wolf, so they brought Sarah Michelle Gellar back to a horror show as the lead star and the Arson Investigator who gets caught up in the supernatural activities around her. She was a highly regarded expert in her field and was brought in by authorities to catch the teenage arsonist who started this massive wildfire - which may have also led to the reawakening of a supernatural predator terrorizing Los Angeles.

1883

VP, Creative Director

1883, a Yellowstone origin story, followed the Dutton family as they embarked on a journey through the Great Plains to seek a better future in Montana. Traveling through the Great Plains toward the last bastion of untamed America, it was a stark retelling of Western expansion, and an intense study of one family fleeing poverty to seek a better future in America’s promised land.

GEORGE & TAMMY

VP, Creative Director

George and Tammy were on top of the world: hit after hit, award after award, and a new baby to boot. But when a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity presents itself in Las Vegas, Tammy is forced to question whether George can handle the pressures of superstardom.

This limited series chronicled country music’s king and queen, George Jones and Tammy Wynette, whose wild and troubled love story inspired some of the most iconic music of all time.

YOUNGER: THE FINAL SEASON

VP, Creative Director - Key Art & Motion Visual

From the very first lie, to the last moment of truth: Season 7 of Younger is finally here. After nearly two years of waiting, fans will see how Liza responds to Charles’s surprise proposal and so much more. Raise your glass and toast to the end of an era! For the final season we went out with a bang…and a bunch of celebratory content created and curated especially for the final chapter of this story.

YELLOWSTONE

VP, Creative Director

Yellowstone Season 3 ended with one of the bloodiest episodes of the series and one of the most brutal cliffhangers in recent TV memory. The big question: Who survives, who dies, and who's responsible? We weren’t able to give anything away, so we flooded the market with art that housed a Y Brand Tombstone and a black crow of death perched upon it to show that the future of the ranch was dark and the morbid possibilities were endless. EVERY. BODY. PAYS.

Season 4 of Yellowstone set new ratings records as the season 4 finale Drew in 9.3 Million Viewers On Paramount Network.

ROAST OF ALEC BALDWIN

VP, Creative Director

Following in the footsteps of Roastee "greats" like Justin Bieber and Donald Trump, the illustrious and multitalented film and television star Alec Baldwin will take the stage to be skewered by his entertainment industry peers.

ROAST OF BRUCE WILLIS

Creative Director

Bruce Willis goes from "Die Hard" to dead on arrival as some of the biggest names in entertainment served up punches of their own to Hollywood's go-to action star. And with Roast Master Joseph Gordon-Levitt at the helm, nobody is left the dais unscathed.

TULSA KING

VP, Creative Director

Following his release from prison, Mafia capo Dwight "The General" Manfredi is exiled to Tulsa, Oklahoma, where he builds a new criminal empire with a group of unlikely characters.

With its preview on Paramount Network, and on Paramount+, it shattered records, driving us to the biggest new signup day in history.

TDS TWITTER LIBRARY EXPERIENCE + BOOK

Creative Director

The Donald J. Trump Presidential Twitter Library is a traveling exhibition of the 45th (and final) President’s most important documents, his tweets. Included in the experience is a gold toilet you may tweet from, a nickname generator, a very extensive timeline of tweets, and more!

If you couldn’t make it to The Daily Show’s Donlad J. Trump Twitter Library Exhibit, fear no more, we are now a printed book. You may find yourself lost in the dissection of presidential tweets and museum’s most treasured pieces. Available where books are sold.

THE OPPOSITION

Creative Director

ROAST OF ROB LOWE

Art Director & Designer

The Comedy Central Roast of Rob Lowe assembled a dais that included Peyton Manning, Ralph Macchio, Jeff Ross, Nikki Glaser, Rob Riggle, Jewel, Ann Coulter and Roast Master David Spade. The occasion? To try and take down this ageless heartthrob.

BEAVIS & BUTTHEAD

VP, Creative Director

Our favorite idiots are back, more or less in the 21st century, and they still haven’t scored. There’s so much new Beavis and so much new Butt-Head. And on 4/20, so many all-new reasons to never leave the couch.

WORKAHOLICS SEASON 5

Art Director & Designer/Finisher

Comedy Central wanted to go over the top for the season 5 promotion of Workaholics, so we concocted a direction that leaned into and spoofed the macho tropes of action movies. Chock full of guns, explosion, cars and babes, the creative parodied the genre with shameless abandon.

SOUTH PARK: YEAR OF THE FAN: CAMPAIGN + EXPERIENCE

Art Director & Designer

For South Park Year of the Fan, we honored fifteen years of South Park with fan-driven events and experiences at Comic-Con. This included a Big Wheel pedal racetrack, a school cafeteria where we gave away our own iconic cheesy poof snacks, a life size replica of South Park Avenue and much more! To ensure that this reached the audience not at Comic-Con, we included interactive stations with social networking uploading capabilities - a Create Your Own Avatar station, South Park photo booth and a Face Painting station.

Since this was a campaign devoted to our fans, we approached this campaign with a more artistic eye - portraying the boys with only their iconic colors in our Season 15 campaign.

2018 COMEDY CENTRAL BRAND REFRESH

Creative Director

PASSWORD (ALL CAPS) : REFRESH

Comedy Central’s last brand refresh was in 2011. Since then a lot has changed. In today’s multi-platform landscape, if something smells promotional, you’ll swipe right past it. In this climate, we needed to deepen our brand equity, attribution and inspire creative expression across all platforms.

We created a new logo, a custom font, content-inspired palettes and a new visual system for all content and creative.

THE NEW NEGROES

Creative Director

For this campaign, we took heavy influence from the Afro-Futuristic art movement, a style that also complimented the aesthetic of the show. The New Negroes was described as a “socially aware stand-up and music series” and we wanted to showcase exactly how expansive and all-encompassing the content would be. We did that by illustrating a surreal Afro-Futuristic environment for the talent to live in, while also making it just weird enough to intrigue you, spark curiosity and tune in!

SMITHSONIAN

VP, Creative Director

A sampling of some of Smithsonian’s most recent Key Art.

BEAVIS & BUTTHEAD MOVIE

VP, Creative Director

Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe is a 2022 adult animated science-fiction comedy film that follows teenage delinquents, Beavis and Butt-Head, who are transported 24-years from 1998 to 2022. It is the second film based on the animated television series, Beavis and Butt-Head, after Beavis and Butt-Head Do America (1996).

For this creative, our hook was to portray that these were the same idiots, but different century! America’s favorite idiots are back and dumber than ever. Beavis and Butt-Head Do The Universe restored the characters to their former glory and reintroduced them to a new generation. But, Beavis and Butt-Head aren’t your typical heroic astronauts. Despite their blunders, the characters are recruited by NASA to embark on a mission to space. Not surprisingly, chaos ensues on the space shuttle and leads to an unexpected adventure.

TREVOR NOAH for P+

Paramount+ had an upcoming show with Trevor Noah, but they weren’t locked into much at the time this was created. With no show name or premise and only time for Trevor on a seamless, we had to get very in the moment and come up with some visuals to give something very simple - a little more energy. Infusing the P+ blue, we did some run and gun images of Trevor on the fly when he was available. The final product was something that P+ could use in multiple places, while still laddering up to the overall brand as whole.

BROAD CITY FINAL SEASON / Creative Director

It’s the question on everyone’s mind, HOW WILL IT END? We had some fun teasing Broad City fans in the series finale key art. We created an anxiety ridden scene with Abbi and Ilana holding hands cliffhanger-style. Scroll down for some BTS and to see how the magic happened.

SP and ME

VP, Creative Director

For the 23rd season of South Park, we developed a campaign to parody 23andMe with our own version of a South Park genealogy test, which gave users the opportunity to see what their “genetic makeup” was as related to South Park’s residents.

SOUTH PARK PANDEMIC SPECIAL

VP, Creative Director

The Denver Broncos, like a handful of other NFL teams, were only allowing a limited number of fans to attend games in-person this season due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, but that didn't stop us from filling the seats. During Sunday's 9/27/2020 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, we filled one of the end zones at Empower Field at Mile High Stadium with 1,800 character cutouts!

It was these 1,800 silent two-dimensional fans that drew most of the attention, as the entire town of Comedy Central's "South Park" was seated in the south stands under the Jumbo Tron.

The cutouts were part of the Broncos' initiative to raise money for charity so our tune-in and any marketing language was absent in all creative, but this got us enough attention to drive viewers to The Pandemic Special and make this one of South Park’s top rated Premieres!

CRANK YANKERS

VP, Creative Director

Yankerville is back! There’s nothing more exciting – or career-defining – than relaunching the iconic franchise that brought the first puppet penis to TV. But it’s been 12 years. That means that our campaign needs to both excite old fans and inspire new ones. Fortunately, we’ve got really big talent, really pushing buttons. While pranking has evolved, when it comes to Crank Yankers, only the phones got smarter.

With so much sterile, PC content filling our airwaves, we need these icons now more than ever. So we treated them like the heroes they are with a campaign that imagines Crank Yankers as the next big superhero franchise. We elevated the show to epic heights by building out a high-end, stylized world worthy of any reboot. Think of all the overused tropes superhero franchises have taught us: crazy sound design, big names in fancy 3D, GFX packaging, epic voice-over reads, etc. Now, think puppets.

BROAD CITY PAINT BY NUMBER STUNT

Creative Director & Designer

In collaboration with Mike Perry and Colossal Media, we staged an interactive live paint event in Brooklyn for the launch of Broad City’s third season. The experiential promotion invited fans of the highly celebrated show to paint a life-sized Broad City mural featuring artwork designed by Mike Perry, the artist behind the series’ opening credits.

We created a Facebook page for the event, and it wasn’t long before the press picked it up. Features in New York Magazine, The Huffington Post, and USA Today, among others, urged readers to ditch their Saturday plans and come out to Williamsburg to join in the fun. This excitement was contagious, with over 1000 people lining up around the block to paint a portion of the mural hours before the event was scheduled to begin.

ANIMATION LIVES ON

Creative Director

We wanted to remind viewers that Comedy Central is one of the go to networks for adult animation. From South Park to Drawn Together to Brickleberry, the network has always pushed the envelope in what can be said and done in animation. To promote the new animated late night blocks, we created a mosh pit of classic adult cartoons for both promos and out of home. Animation lives on, Comedy Central.

COMEDY CENTRAL ANIMATING SEASON

VP, Creative Director

Comedy Central has a rich history of animation programming. From old school classics, like Dr. Kats, to pop-culture staples, like South Park, the network is committed to animation as a mainstay of the brand. Each year, Comedy Central embarks on a brand image campaign that celebrates these offerings.

To eventize Animation on Comedy Central, we tell a story that features the brand’s best-known animated characters, each journeying toward a common destination, eventually arriving at a watering-hole in a mass brand gathering of animated characters. It's Animating Season on Comedy Central!

BROAD CITY S1

DRUNK HISTORY

Creative Director

The challenge going into the the 5th season of Drunk History was to find a way to reinvigorate the brand and package it in a way that made it feel fresh & unique versus previous seasons.

With illustrator Ryan Cox, we worked on creating key art that homage the “edutainment” of the 70’s and 80’s, imagining a cartoon version of Drunk History. With an illustrated version of our host Derek Waters and a myriad of characters from throughout the season, this campaign evolved from the show’s dedication to creating lifelong learners and appealed to our fans who are always surprised to find that they’re learning something.

DRUNK HISTORY S2

Art Director / Designer

For season 2, we really wanted to engage new viewers and make them curious to find out what Drunk History is really about. I wanted to make them feel a little tipsy and give them a taste of whats to come. I came up with this idea and hand painted all logos and Comedy branding to make the entire piece feel like a real work of art.

LIGHTS OUT W/DAVID SPADE

Creative Director

For this campaign, we wanted to show that Lights Out is essential late-night viewing. In a world where fame worship is more inflated than ever before, we wanted to position Spade as the much-needed hero who would (charmingly) put it all on the spot. Or, as Research so eloquently put it, viewers want to see “Spade’s hilarious takes on pop culture.”

Our entire campaign was built to celebrate Spade and to help carve out the show’s unique place in late night: one that’s finally politics-free. Playing off the many overly produced celebrity Instagram ads (see: Kourtney Kardashian’s Poosh), we shot David being ever so “candid” in his living room. The dog happened to be on set, so we figured, why not? Fun fact: We did the deepest exploration of chest hair in the history of this department. Thick? Brown? Bushy? Blond? Needless to say, we are now serious chest hair experts.

GOATFACE

Creative Director

CORPORATE

Creative Director

Hampton DeVille is a soulless conglomerate that sinks its rapacious claws into everything from arming clandestine wars to exploiting protesters. This is a comedy about working there. Misery loves a company.

DRUNK HISTORY S6 / Creative Director

CORPORATE S2 / Creative Director

For the second season of Corporate we wanted to strip the campaign down to marrow of what the show’s truly about, We’re sorry but you’re hired. We teamed up with Chris Buck to recreate the insidious show’s title sequence, in it’s final moments you see the main characters screaming in excitement, terror, acceptance? Maybe all of the above.

ROAST OF JUSTIN BIEBER

Art Director, Designer & Ideator

The Comedy Central Roast of Justin Bieber assembled a dais that included Hannibal Buress, Chris D'Elia, Snoop Dogg, Natasha Leggero, Ludacris, Shaquille O'Neal, Jeff Ross, Martha Stewart and Roast Master Kevin Hart. The occasion? To hold one of the world's biggest teen idols over an open flame.

JANUARY STAND-UP MONTH / Creative Director

Stand-up was a big part of what made Comedy Central who they are today, but they became less associated with it over time. Comedy fans knew they had standup, but didn’t necessarily seek it out on the channel. We wanted re-establish CC as a destination for sure-fire killer stand-up every Friday night in January.

Unicorns are rare, and so is finding curated content these days. People are constantly having to surf and click until they find what sticks. Comedy Central’s Stand-Up Month offered an easy-to-grasp expertly curated experience where you could find Comedy thats perfect for you.
