Back in October, I got a call from my friends Geoff Teehan & Jon Lax, Creative Partners of the energetic Toronto agency teehan+lax, asking if I’d be interested in shooting their Holiday card again.
Absolutely.
Last year we had a lot of fun shooting this little gem:
As for 2009, they were hoping to raise the bar. So I got thinking over the top, and what immediately came to mind, for some reason, were Karate Dojo’s. Have you seen the size and quantity of Karate trophies at your local Karate Dojo? Biggest trophies, ever.
So I thought about putting Geoff & Jon in a sea of Karate trophies, along with some sort of line like “We kicked ass in ’09″. That’s where we started, and this is where we ended:
I think the copy they came up with was really fun, and look forward to doing another next year…with Monster Trucks, perhaps.




hahaha…cool idea! like the outcome!
