Inspired work

I made this.

Late bloomer. That’s what I am. I’m late to the party when it comes to YouTube, probably because I can see myself wasting time – watching videos all day. Sometimes, though, I find my own work posted – like these promos I cut and animation package I produced for WPIX/New York (now known as PIX11):

… It makes me want to find all my old tapes and re-post this stuff at a better quality! Good times, though. Hours and hours of creative partnership. Telezign created the animation package – it won an Emmy. Cut one of the promos at National Video Center. Shocktober was one of the first promos cut in a new digital edit suite at WPIX. All of these places … don’t exist now. But the legend of them lives … on YouTube.

I made this? No, WE made this.

Inspiration visual.

Check out my new logo, designed by fabulous art director and good friend, Maryl Lavelle.

It’s inspired by the shape of trees (!) – one special tree in particular: a live oak that lives on the right side of San Vicente Road heading into the San Diego Country Estates in Ramona, CA (my sanctuary). I mean, this tree holds out its arms in welcome! One of my favorites.

With letters as leaves, the words “Sageland Creative” seat comfortably at its formidable roots  – and creates a place for my name, too. Burnt orange and golden maize bring to mind the fall season, and it’s no wonder – nature inspires us, too.

Interesting to look at. Unexpected. Many, many thanks, Maryl!
