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.

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.
