CREATIVE DIRECTION

WHEN THE LATE-SHIFT CLOWNS CLASHED

A-list writer + entertainment observer Bill Zehme wrote an intertesting editorial on what eventually divided the two talk show Giants and brought them to blows.

“Wouldn't it be cool if there was a photo showing the two of them about to trade blows?” It was an immediate idea I clung to, then pursued.

We called in a cast of actors to represent Jay + Conan stand-ins for the idea. Some styling, a nice suit or two to match their personal gravitas, and boom! A little photo magic. With some trial and error, I threw down some heavy photoshop tricks and crafted this little photo concept into something visual and entertaining, matching the wit and warmth of Bill's humorous take on the scuffle.

Of all the work I created for #PLAYBOY, this is one of my faves.
