Ad work for Rogue Taxidermy exhibit.
- Rouge Taxidermy is a collective of artists who specialize in unusual, off-the-beaten-path taxidermy. To promote the Rogue Taxidermy exhibit at Art-A-Whirl in Minneapolis, we created a digital site called Beast Blender, which allowed users to create, name and share their own unique animals, which were created by using parts from ordinary animals. We also created some posters and an interactive poster / flyer combo that was put up in areas where flyers tend to accumulate.
- BEAST BLENDERWith hundreds of thousands of visitors and millions of "beasts" created, beastblender.com was so successful that users actually ended up crashing the gallery.






- POSTERSWe made several posters for the event. They were funny, but I felt that making posters for something with already such a unique subject matter was perhaps too easy.

- POSTER WITH FLYERSAfter a bit of thought, I thought it would be funny to create a straightforward poster. No clever headline, just a simple image of one of the taxidermied creatures in the exhibit. The image I chose was a half crow, half cat. The idea was to place this poster in areas where people tend to post up flyers. We then created two faux flyers, one for a missing pet bird and one for a missing cat. The flyers were strategically placed close to our poster and allowed for the person viewing the poster to connect the dots. Each flyer had a different phone number that could be called, should anyone know the whereabouts of the missing animals. When the numbers were called, a voicemail message let people in on the joke and promoted the show.
