Smile with Vinylize
A couple months ago Matt from Astrodog Media reached out and asked if I could fit an actor with glasses. It was for a promotional video they were filming for Smile.io.

Smile Tiger Coffee Roasters Photo Shoot
Smile… Tiger. The other Sunday we brought a bunch of tigers together and asked them to smile. Well, actually, in a reality not quite as foolhardy, we asked some of our friends to participate in our latest fashion shoot at Smile Tiger Coffee Roasters.

Paris, Mes Amis
Bonjour! Ça va? We are fresh… okay, not quite so fresh, but recently off the plane from Paris France where we attended an eyewear extravaganza called Silmo.
