Imagine Anything.

I still get such a bang out of the things that captivated me as a little boy growing up in rural Nebraska: drawing cartoons, singing and making up songs, getting a laugh by making funny faces or voices. Back then I could only imagine having a professional studio with the technology and resources to turn all of that imaginative play into reality. But as it turns out, that very same spontaneous spirit is the most important piece of equipment I use every day in my work at Sick Picnic Media. Don't get me wrong, we have plenty of hi-tech tools to make really cool stuff. But anybody can go out and buy gear. What makes my work and the work I do for my clients truly unique is cultivating that child-artist who still lives inside me ... and inside all of us. That's why Sick Picnic will always be a place that values goofing around, improvisation, silly dancing, wild music, telling hilarious and heartfelt stories, and talking in character voices even if it's just to decide where we're having lunch.
