Drag the pieces to reassemble my face. Terrible accident. I’d really appreciate the help.

DARK DAZEY
CREATIVE DIRECTOR
2020–CURRENT
My earliest interactions with Dark Dazey took place in my detached garage in early 2020. Moments before the world shut down, my housemate asked if I would shoot and edit a live performance of his band in our thrown-together recording studio (née Garage). I was blown away by the band’s talent and sheer will to create.

A couple more visualizers and one global pandemic down the line, I joined the band as both a recording/touring member and as the creative director, serving to steer the superabundance of experimental expression the bandmates effortlessly exude.

The band’s collective creative engine is nuclear — my role is to synthesize the myriad impulses offered up by the group and churn out a cohesive, intriguing vision that’s equal parts robust and chameleonic. I also make a lot of posters.

Creating in the world of Dark Dazey is, above all else, outrageously fun. I can’t think of four other humans that would just as quickly heed my suggestion to dress up in thermal-resistant mylar suits as an Interdimensional Containment Crew as they would star alongside a puppet lizard in a fictionalized children’s show produced by the Dark Dazey Friendship Corp ®©☺™.
