Turns out that almost 1/2 of workers are afraid to talk about their mental health at work. So, since May is Mental Health Awareness Month and I had a couple of free days from freelancing, I made some PSAs about the importance of working on your mental health at work. With some help from AI, which I used to be scared of.

A social video my brother and I made for the fine folks at Riverkeeper.org to raise awareness about the dangers of dropping a deuce when it rains. #WhenItRainsItPoops. See Poop in action on Insta @Riverkeeper. Design and animation by my brother Jon jontbrown.com. Script, VO and video edit by yours truly. With some sounds I found at Freesound.org
My buddy Paul writes novels but he says the publishing industry is kinda hopeless at promoting ‘em. In fact, he says, "Most book promos are crap." So for his book “The Astounding, The Amazing, And The Unknown” we made a promo about just how bad promos can be. Pick up the book at Amazon. Directed by Can Misirlioglu at R/GA Studios and starring a bunch of talented friends, who all pitched crap ideas. Except for Jeff Greenspan, whose idea of releasing the whole book as a series of tweets is kinda genius. He's annoying like that.
Winner of the first-ever Sleepy Hollow Shorts :30 Film Festival. Starring my son, his pals, and the then Assistant Principal, Joseph Engelhardt. Filmed in and around Sleepy Hollow High School, back in the day 2014.
Written, directed and edited by yours truly.
As a salve for my sanity during quarantine, I starting writing country songs about the pandemic. These are them.
Track 1. It ain’t easy looking for love in a pandemic, when every day you get less photogenic.
Track 2. A traveling tune about the pandemic. It’s time to stop kicking science around and get out of Covid Town.
Track 3. A rebel song about a redneck scientist. The pandemic has really got him pissed.
Track 4. One of those “she left me when I got Covid 19” songs.
Track 5. It’s a pandemic on the rocks. Drink up.
Track 6. For all those long-haulers out there delivering the vaccine. Yippee kai yay, mothertrucker.
Track 7. For everybody out there trying to find love in a lockdown. A duet with the lovely and talented Hattie McSpangles.
Track 8. Join me and my pals for a singalong pandemic drinking song.
He's only 19. And he's out of control. A tale about a young virus gone bad. Artwork by my brother, Jon.
Ho, ho, ho and a cheesy holiday song too. My Covid Cowboy mustache went missing on this one. If you see it anywhere, lemme know.
As a writer, I’m not asked to open up Adobe Creative Suite very often. But sometimes on the weekend I do, and pretend that I’m a designer.
This is logo for a group of pals, once described as “my lowbrow friends.” A badge of honor, surely. So far it’s appeared on coasters, playing cards, stickers, bicycle jerseys and beer koozies.
