A TIKKR Comic

Some of you may or may not know that I work for the Austin based watch company TIKKR.  A lot of people ask me what I do at TIKKR and, well, that's hard to answer because I honestly do a little bit of everything and it changes a lot since we are a very small company.  But one of my favorite things that I get to do is photo shoots!  We recently came out with a brand new band for our interchangeable watches and I had to figure out how we were going to market this new band in an email.  I wore the watch around for a day and all of a sudden I realized what the dotted band reminded me of and I came up with the idea to make a Comic Book.  I wrote this story, styled, and directed the shoot.  I also got the fun part of editing the photos and making it look like a Comic.  I don't normally blog about my day job, but I was really proud of the final product of this and wanted to show y'all because this is the kind of stuff I love to do.  Bam! Pow! Check it out!

A little tidbit of extra knowledge: that super nerdy looking guy who gets beat up in this story is my boss and TIKKR owner and founder.  I love that my job allows me to write stories where my boss gets punched in the face.

Also, I had to borrow a Pow ring from my friend Jen for this shoot because of obvious reasons:

You can purchase a Pow ring by local Austin artist Jennifer Cunningham from her Etsy store.
