  • MOPRO Cycling Series Event Graphics & 2012 Overview Video - @BCummingsPhoto

    May 9th, 2013 / Comments (1)

    If you've been to ArtCrank the past few years, it's quite apparent to the casual observer that the poster party for bike people is part of a much larger weekend long series of bike races taking place all over the city. The Tour de Grove is the key event in this series since it's Part of the prestigious USA Cycling National Criterium Calendar and the USA Crits Championship Series. This is also an especially important part of promoting cycling culture in our city and state since Jay Nixon decided to take a shit on the Tour of Missouri a couple years back.

    Brian Cummings, who we're all quite aware of as a photographer, also has some nice design chops which he was able to flex with this years graphics package. Along with this event design work, Brian and a whole gang of creative professionals produced an overview video that showcases some of the talent, community and overall vibe of last year's event.


    Brian Cummings Photography/Rokitmul Design has been happy to be a promoter, as well as art monkeys for all the event graphics. This year's look for the races focuses on some of the returning pro racers. Missouri's very own Brad Huff of Jelly Belly P/B by Kenda was kind enough to lend us his face to be this year's poster child.






    During last year's event, we directed a promotional video highlighting the cyclists, neighborhoods and the races. This project came about by the volunteer spirit of a group of hard working creatives wanting to do something because it was there. I believe we had our first meeting on a Wednesday and shot it on three days later. No budget, just a lot of gumption.

    Thank yous go out to Chad Harris and Matt Murphy for assembling their army to attack this beast. Big props to producer Blaine Deutsch. Special thanks to Kevin Kelly of Anti-Agency for connecting all of the players and capturing some beautiful shots. Additional camera assistance by, Derek Feldman, Jeff Daniels, Ryan Doris, Paul Nordmann, Hannah Harris, Cameron Mcarthy, Brian Mohn. Sound engineering by David Kernis. PA & Editing by Brittany Accardi.

    Also, thank you to Big Shark Bicycle Company, Jelly Belly P/B by Kenda, Vanderkitten, Atomic Cowboy, ArtCrank, Spoke STL.

  • Draw Your Own Video Game - @RobinRath Launches @PixelPressGame on Kickstarter

    May 8th, 2013 / Comments (0)

    Here's an incredibly ambitious project by local product/interactive strategist Robin Rath that's attempting to make it relatively easy to draw your own video game.

    Remember drawing video games as a kid?
    In the 1980's, video games like Super Mario Brothers and Donkey Kong were ground-breaking and inspired fans like us to draw our own levels on paper and image playing them. Today, Pixel Press recreates this gaming experience in a new, real way.

    Don't just play a video game - start creating your own! Pixel Press is turning video games into an interactive experience, with no coding required. Draw, upload, play and share.

    We are inspiring thousands of fans, young and old, to imagine their own video game levels, and start playing them.

    If anyone has ever taken the prospect of Kickstarter seriously, it's this guy. A full scale campaign has been unleashed with a great looking website, a well thought out kickstarter page and some serious heavy-hitter quotes:



    We'd like to say we're helping to get the word out, but with 584 backers backing $12,000 so far in the first day, we'd be pretty amazed if this doesn't meet it's 100k goal by June 14th. Help make sure it does and help support what is clearly a straight up passion project by a local creative.

    Support PixelPress on Kickstarter.

    Good luck Robin!

  • Local #Crowdsource Alert: @Cardinals Social Media Night T-Shirt Design Contest

    May 6th, 2013 / Comments (1)

    Now granted, some might argue that designing a t-shirt for a social media night giveaway is a harmless competition for the most beloved sports dynasty in St. Louis. And we wouldn't really be against something like that (in theory) per se, unless we happened to read the small print:

    c) grants to Sponsor, MLBAM and each of their respective designees the perpetual and unlimited right and license to use, license, edit, modify, duplicate and/or create derivative works from his/her Entry throughout the world and in perpetuity, including, but not limited to, the right for Sponsor and/or MLBAM, as applicable, to publish, display, broadcast, distribute, reproduce, perform, create derivative works from and otherwise use and exploit the Entry via the Internet or any other interactive media, in stadium, on television, in print and/or any other media currently existing and hereafter developed and without limitation and without payment of any compensation to the participant or his/her heirs and successors, (i) on its own or as part of any audiovisual or other production; (ii) to advertise any products, programming or services of the MLB Entities or for any other advertising, marketing, publicizing and promotional purposes and in any materials related thereto; and/or (iii) for any other purpose whatsoever; and (d) release in perpetuity the Released Parties from any claims, demands, losses and liabilities of any nature arising out of or in any way connected with the Entry, and the use thereof as permitted hereunder, including, but not limited to, claims of false endorsement or infringement of rights of publicity or privacy.

    Thanks but no thanks Cards, we're going to throw this one back.
