Powerful
UP THERE from Jon on Vimeo. This documentary is at once beautiful and so completely heartbreaking. Marc and I came from an agency – MJR Media in Fres-yes, CA that set up shop in an alley way complete with an old hand painted sign up on the brick wall. That little piece of advertising history [...]
Posey – Follow-Up
Pretty, pretty and now oh-so-much-more functional! The whole website is up for Posey! Marc built it in Word Press, so, all content is updatable by the client!
