RationAle Brewing

Creative Direction: Nigel Mikz | VFX Production: Patrick Productions


I developed motion graphics for multiple ad spots promoting the non-alcoholic beer brand RationAle Brewing.




Pet Semetary: Bloodlines (Paramount+)

Director: Lindsey Anderson Beer
Production Designer: Adam Scher


I handled some graphic design for props, set decorations, and show vehicles in this prequel film based on Steven King’s Pet Semetary. The story is set in 1969, which gave me a great opportunity to emulate the aesthetics of the era.

One of the hero props was a fake beer brand called Old Club. Using an antique beer case sourced from eBay, I recreated the die-cut cardboard packaging with custom graphics.


The beer can design itself was featured prominently in several scenes, including being left as a tribute on the antagonist’s father’s grave.


The hero show vehicle was a 1969 Volkswagen Beetle, hand-painted with custom graphics for the main character. I also did an antique Volkswagen Westfalia designed to look hand-painted while actually wrapped in die-cut vinyl decals.



I also worked on a range of miscellaneous graphics: memorial plaques, war medal displays, a stubby beer label, hockey rink signage, religious murals, & plenty of old photographs.

The End is Nye (Peacock)

Created by Seth Macfarlane & Bill Nye


I designed graphics for props, playback, set dec & costume in this 6-episode science docu-drama series starring Bill Nye (the Science Guy).

There were tons of fun props written in as punchlines or visual aids, giving me a great opportunity to experiment with a variety of art styles.


 
  
I also made playback graphics for several scenes, including a boardroom slideshow presented by the show's co-creator, Seth MacFarlane.


Seth shows up again in another episode with a set of electrical grid diagrams I designed for fictional cities. Each screen features a photo-collaged aerial night views of real places, overlaid with intricate 3-colour linework illustrating imagined electrical infrastructures.


For costume, I designed the embroidered patches that are featured on the astronaut uniforms that appear throughout.


One of my favourite set dec pieces: a dumpster cover-up for a big SFX explosion scene. You only see it for a split second, but it was a blast to make. We were on a tight schedule & it was a last-minute addition, so I knocked it out in a couple of hours to send to the printers same day.


There were also a ton of other set decoration graphics that I designed, including the branding & other various coverups for a super market.

As well as some posters for the “feature films” playing at a nickelodeon theatre. 



There were a bunch of other interventions that I handled too: bags of coffee, a hurricane wall, airplane branding, & maps... SO MANY MAPS!

Black Life: Untold Stories

Creative Director Nigel Mikz
Client: CBC | Studio: Juggernaut


I helped to develope & design the graphics for the series’ title card screens. We were provided with a great selection of archival photographs that were combined with stock photo, paper tears & textures to create the feel of a gritty, collaged scrapbook.

Below is a look at the variations each scene went through before arriving at the final graphics above.
