CONFID3NTIAL GOES A BIT FISHY…
CONFID3NTIAL collaborates with “the shark daymond” from ABC`s popular tv show “the shark tank“. We developed, conceptualized and designed the cover for the newly released book, “The brand within“. Look out for it in stores, i know it sounds like a plug but its actually a really clever and influential read. Great client, great experience and an all around great guy… hes actually as funny as he is on t.v!
CONFID3NTIAL GETS ALL GOOEY WTH THE DEW`Y
Well well well… who would`a thought? Mountain Dew.. me?? Well peeps its for real.. right there on 29 green st in the flesh! Just over a month ago me and the giftd were approached by matty ho from @ Subculture Conglomerate and were asked to come up with a pitch for a pop up gallery for the Green Label Art project in soho, NYC. This being a unique collection of limited edition Mountain Dew bottles, designed by 6 creative minds spanning the worlds of action sports, music, vinyl, the artists included the work of Pushead, Nathan Cabrera, Jeff McMillan, Claw Money, Stephen Bliss and UPSO.
Obviously we agreed, bashed heads till the wee hours of the morning and came up with 2 or 3 concepts… We got the “green” light”.. i mean go ahead and met a few fellas from LTD magazine and spoke of our mission to transform the Etnies showroom into the bipolar art space that it became. Along our crazy little journey we acquired many friends and what you could call “life savers” from Proof 7, One Stop Framing, Let There Be Neon, Buddy Construction, Skim Catering and many others.
So after long hard nights, lots of Amped energy drinks, pen squiggles on found receipts, good times, bad times, poop incidents, twitter chat ( @dew_gla ) and rants! Confid3ntial delivers you the ever gooey, mountain dew`y Green art label…..

BURGES SCRIPT….
So i came across this amazing font the other day, MR. Burges Script.. jolly little fellow. My eyes were exploding with joy.. i rapidly installed and cracked it open in illustrator and gave it a good work out… few mins later i used the sexy lil`number on one of my favorite quotes (‘Live fast, die young and leave a good-looking corpse’ spoken by actor John Derek in the film Knock on Any Door, later quoted by James Dean and Evel Knievel) check it out below.. comments welcome!
