I got my start in art school, making weird games to teach myself programming. They got some recognition, and attention from media agencies, which commissioned me to make more … and here we are. Following are a few of my faves.
Pee-Mail
Draw a message in the snow, and send it to a friend. This was a holiday project to learn database programming, that got so popular I had to get help get help from an actual database programmer, Chris Allert. In 2001 over a million pee-mails were sent. Which at that time was like, half the internet. PLAY
Super-Jam
If you’re thinking this looks kinda like Elf Yourself, or JibJab, you’re dead wrong. Elf Yourself and JibJab look like Super-Jam. We started this whole human-face-on-a-dancing-character-on-the-internet party.
I developed this with my friends, Paul Kim, Takeshi Murata, and Jon Brzyski, to launch the GAMES division of Wildbrain.com. It was a formative experience in the powerful possibilities that emerge when you lead a team of people more talented than you are. Put your face up and turn the bass up.
Cavemanicure
Dress up a cave man and his cave dog. Made for MSN, which was Microsoft’s attempt to take out AOL. Apparently it worked. Thanks Cavemanicure.
