Probably an odd thing to include, but here a side project that is kind of related. In one of those ‘know someone who knows someone’ moments, I ended up shooting the bike footage that was projected at the end of the catwalk at Betsey’s fashion week show. It’s also currently being used in her stores. Used a GoPro HD video camera strapped to my chest to shoot key NY scenes, such as Brooklyn Bridge, Times Square, and Central Park.

No Direction Known is currently my primary place of writing residence in terms of book writing. Set up to cater to my love of cycling, but ultimately to publish the journey of my ride across America. The entries here are, in a sense, the first draft of the book. There are very few ‘short reads’ here.

“My Best Khaki Pants” Kickstarter Project from Noodle on Vimeo.

It’s been a while since I updated my portfolio, and I do have some work for Motorola and Louis Vuitton to put up, but my life is also pretty consumed these days with planning a big adventure in my life. Starting in May, I’m going to be riding my bicycle across these great United States. This is actually going to be quite an experience for us all – I’m working out ways to digitally broadcast parts of the trip (although not live), and include people in the day-to-day in as many ways as possible. The first step in that process is the Kickstarter project “My Best Khaki Pants – a mini book“. Benefactors unite!

It’s an interesting experiment actually. Now I’m the product. The brand. How do I approach my own campaign? I’ll be trying a lot of things these next couple of months, and in particular, honing my quick video update process for when I’m out on the road. Feel free to back the project (there are exclusive ‘backer only’ updates), or just follow along with the planning updates at No Direction Known.

Hold on everyone. This is gonna be a ride.
