Around the middle of December in 2008, I booked a commercial for an antacid called Zegerid. Thinking it was sort of a birthday present, I put some stock in it running and helping me to fund my new found photography interest. At the shoot, there is an artist I am introduced to, who I recognize from YouTube named Phil Hanson and they have hired him to paint on his/my torso some of the effects of the product. Well... now I become of a fan, cuz this guy is a 'wild man'! I have recently become an enthusiast of the way he thinks about art and the process he embarks on for each piece he creates. He karate chopped a mural of Bruce Lee by dipping the lethal parts of his hands in black paint!! Please, check him out @ www.philinthecircle.com
Sure, it's a big pharmaceutical company that's hawking a product, but the opportunity to meet this 'crazy cat' was cool. Of course, the product got held up in the FDA approval process and the airing didn't occur until the beginning of April of 2010, but now the fun begins and I am finally able to branch out and do more visual things with the funds at my disposal.
Check out the spot at www.zegeridotc.com and let me know what you think... it's really interesting if you stay a fan of the business while you are doing it. It can keep the cynicism at bay while keeping you interested in the varied processes of other artists.
Cheers,
Robert
