Jupiter Consumer Goods is a culture-jamming brand designed to subvert and critique mainstream consumer habits. The brand is inspired by Jupiter, the deity of ancient Roman mythology. In Ovid’s Metamorphosis, Jupiter saves the earth from destruction by killing Phaëton, the reckless son of the sun god.

I See You Not Seeing Me

Colin — Wed, 11 May 2011 21:21:07 +0000

I See You Not Seeing Me was an evening of folklore, cryptozoology, food, drink and conversation with Muck Lab. The one day exhibition was designed and curated by the 11 members of Muck Lab, including myself. We produced a zine, t-shirts, buttons, posters, vidoes and wall installations. Free swag was exchanged for stories and drawings of extraordinary, spectacular or otherwise remarkable creatures. The exhibition was the conclusion to our Project M blitz. Completed Spring 2011 at MICA.

Foals poster for their May 7th show at The Ottobar in Baltimore. For a realistic effect, I drew directly on inflated balloons and photographed them. Completed Spring 2011 at MICA.

Muck Lab

Colin — Mon, 25 Apr 2011 19:52:11 +0000

The Maryland Union of the Cryptozoologically Knowledgable was the result of a one-week Project M blitz held in Belfast, Maine. We conceptualized and branded Muck Lab, a mobile cryptid research unit, and held a one day exhibition exhibiting our video, photographic, and physical “proof” of the Muck Monster, a sea serpent rumored to live in the nearby Kirby Pond. The blitz was led by Ryan Clifford with the support of John Bielenberg, Brian Jones, Ryan LeCluyse, and Lauren Dellaquila. Completed Spring 2011 in Belfast, Maine through MICA.
