In late 2008 I had a great opportunity to do the art direction + design for Birdhouse, Tony Hawk’s Skateboard Company. After numerous meetings and receiving input from the Marketing Director I then moved forward to come up with a new refreshed look that the brand was needing at the time. My favorite project had to be the Tony Hawk Legendary Ad — he had received the 2008 Legend Award from Transworld Skateboarding so we decided to run a print ad paying him homage for this great accomplishment. I took the ad into a photography retrospective direction showcasing some of his more famous shots over the years, finishing it off with the tagline — “Legendary.”
