They are a production company from the mind former creative director of Spike TV, who hit it big with this video. The process has been fun, and below is snippet of what I’ve been working on.

Unfortunately clients don’t always appreciate them as much as I do. Like this one off the cutting room floor from earlier today…

Also, I recommend This Book for anyone who shares my appreciation for a great data visualization.

Its seems like its all I ever do. So… this is going to be my creative outlet, whether it be projects from me just for the fun of it, some thoughts on design I’ve seen or just plain randomness. Because design is suppose to be fun right?

I leave you with the front of my new business cards… which so eloquently describes the pronunciation of my name. Save it, memorize it, have others remember it.

Its Pronounced Your-Cannon.
