Dirty flashback to 1986



"Check your local FSN listings for DLP’s “RE>LOADED.” Think “I Love the ’80’s” but all about sports! The biggest names in sports, news and pop culture re-live sports biggest years. We’ve got Joe Buck and Artie Lange together again, Brian Williams, Terry Bradshaw, Michael Strahan, Rich Eisen, Kevin Frazier and a ton of great guests to walk you back through memory lane."

I worked on this before I started Icons, and bam! its on the air. I thought I was in development hell. Shout to Adam Goldberg and Michael Hughes @ DLP Entertainment. @ 1:15 mark the show begins.

Dirt meets Iconic Expectations




"Don Q presents Icons Among Us Icons Among Us: jazz in the present tense, a documentary series, looks at the Jazz music scene today. Through interviews, performance footage, and the voices of the musicians themselves, we will explore this music and the divergent influences that are shaping the world of Jazz at the beginning of the 21st Century."

After cutting the promo in January '09 with David LLama on Graphics, the bar was set high for us to create a fantastic visually stimulating 4 hour documentary series. There were three directors on the project; however, it was my common bond with Director with Michael Rivoira that made this more than a job, but an adventure I'm still living. Shout out to the whole Icons Team.

This feature aired on Game Day Morning, NFL Network, October 12, 2008. Gil Knight, was the Producer, and, the reason I work at the Network. So, I had to bring my A game. A guy name Jim, from Santa Barbara, DP'ed (shot) it. Jim's camera instincts, angles and motion were excellent. In retrospect, editing this feature felt like jazz...the timing, the characters, the team dynamics. It was a joy - like the Fellowship!

Ask A Sista



This is one of my favorite projects. I was given the video and some crazy singing and sound effect, and here you have it - a theme song (Produced by D Ruff) that won't get out your head.

CELEBRATION OF DEZ'S "DO THE DEW" It was a night of celebration in Houston as friends and fans alike came out to celebrate with Dez. As the guests entered the gallery they viewed Dez's initial sketch that inspired his "Do the Dew" bottle design. This was one of many pieces of artwork Dez surprised the crowd with at the exhibit. Partygoers were in for a treat as Bun B hosted the evening's festivities and DJ Cipher provided the soundtrack. The diverse crowd went crazy mid event when a special delivery arrived for Dez from New Era. The crowd was treated to an impromptu fitted cap signing session until there were none left. At the end of the night everyone was all smiles and one last set of props was due to Dez, the man of the night.
