My hair stars in in a video...
Somehow, I was asked by the school's alumni department to be in a new commercial for the School of Visual Arts (even though I'm still paying off my school loan!)



http://www.hillmancurtis.com/index.php?/film/watch/sva_david/

It's 1 of 3 videos focusing on different graduates, directed by Hillman Curtis. My scene was shot in my favorite comic shop, Rocketship, (which is co-owned by fellow SVA alumni Alex Cox) and my wife, Raina (who I met at SVA) also makes a cameo.
The kid I'm talking with is the director's son who was showing off his sketchbook of original comic characters!

you should get loan credit for all those future students you bring in with your awesome commercial!

that's really cool! and the little hair flick when you look up totally makes me think of Fabio and his "I can't believe it's not butter" commercials!

I didn't know SVA did commercials. Nice job, I can't even come up with a good hair pun.

You should totally replace Rob Liefeld as the "comics artist who shows up in commercials for things." :-D

I'm not sure what they were selling me. It sure wasn't the school.

You were awesome though, my good man.
