Febo’s Marathon
Here’s a short intro to Gary Febo, a trusted and relied on local gas station owner/mechanic that, although wrapped in a bit of a sandpaper facade, is that local guy that folks in the neighborhood know they could trust and depend on.
Always direct, a little brisk at times, but that kind of guy who, if you were buying a used first car for your 16 year old, would be willing to give it a test drive and “once-over” to let you know the car was safe…no charge.
Motobecane Resurrection: Taking a minute to keep an old machine running.
Fatherhood can be a pretty tough gig at times.
At the end of the day though, maybe it's as simple as spending a little time now and then being a friend; building something together and then watching it work.
Meet Abby
Meet Abby, High school student, athlete and, from what we saw, a pretty fierce competitor on the basketball court (and not a bad actress).
Abby is another of the remarkable people we’ve run across in our relationship with Adaptive Sports Ohio that are so focused on possibilities, that possibilities are all that they see.
Below is another of the “messaging” pieces we’ve produced for this incredible organization.

The Theory on Education
For all the different spaces we’ve worked in, there’s something special about translating the energy academic environments offer.
Adaptive Sports
Continuing our long relationship with Adaptive Sports Ohio’s basketball program, we had the opportunity to again add to their library of short video stories, revealing what makes this organizations’ goals so important to so many people.
Posters and Postcards
There are some jobs that you walk away from feeling more inspired and enlightened than when you began the project. Our recent work with Cleveland Central Catholic High School to help build their enrollment was one of those jobs.
From the dedication, patience, and commitment of their entire staff, to the energy of the student body, we ran across a reminder that the value of being committed and moving forward, no matter the obstacles, is unparalleled. We met kids that have been empowered to build robots, objectively debate the status of the world, and write poetry with passion.
This series of posters and postcards showcases the numerous extracurriculars and programs available to students at the school.
Kruzinki’s
Kruzinski’s Meats in Slavic Village has been a mainstay in this ever-changing neighborhood, but one thing that hasn’t changed is the quality of the “hand-pinched” pirogues and locally made Kielbasa (street name Kobass) this small corner shop continues to provide.
A few years ago, as a personal project, I spent a few days just “hanging out”, capturing a little of the day-to-day there. Some things have changed and some of these folks are no longer there, but the quality and traditions still remain.
Going Up
This client was looking for simplicity and consistency in the background that would offer a little more interest than a traditional canvas background. Taking an alternate view of a very common area, we ended up utilizing their elevator lobby. And yes…there were a few outtakes with surprised elevator riders stepping into the frame.
Botanical Gardens: Library Build
Following are a few images for a library build we did for the Cleveland Botanical Gardens. Tasked with showcasing the diversity of environments, indoor and out, and the potential each separate garden held, was probably one of the easiest challenges we’ve ever faced, as there was something pretty awesome at every turn.
