We met in our first semester, and quickly realized that we were two offbeat peas in a pod.
While neither one of us were Copywriters, we decided to work together on numerous projects. This gave us both the opportunity to work on our copy skills, as well as collaboration his fantastic illustration skills with my conceptual photography.
Earlier this year we took a publishing class together and were asked to pick any brand.
In our usual form, we decided to do that absolute hardest concept possible. A friend of Hauck's founded a Brazilian Art Collective in San Francisco called AUTISTA, which is a collective of Brazilian artists who donate a portion of their proceeds to the research for a cure for Autism.
What came forth was a book we created called "Today I went Outside". It is the story of an everyday walk around several blocks in any given city as seen through the eyes of someone with Autism. The focal points being on the everyday occurances that we as so called "normal" human beings take for granted. We wanted to intrigue, frustrate,and provoke the viewer to get a glimpse of how it feels to be Autistic. Excerpts from the book are at nowwithnuts.com.
