While redesigning the set for MTV LIVE we created a faux brick wall in the background, custom table, TV frame and produced a series of 30 custom art piece pillows for the 2008 launch. The collection was a collaboration between Jellyfunk's Adam Nathan, the Drake Hotel's Tyler Longshaw, MTV, and Toronto clothing brand Model Citizen. Final pieces produced by Adam & Tyler.
THE AFTER SHOW
There aren’t many pics of the sets but we did a few different sets for The Hills After Show where Schitt’s Creek’s co-creator Dan Levy, and Canada’s Smartest Person and many other shows, Jessi Cruikshank got started.
MTV LIVE | HOLIDAY SET
This was the first project that started it all with MTV. Within the first year MTV LIVE was running, they wanted a little set in a corner just with a Christmas tree and some presents…I took that differently. I instantly liked everyone at the network. They were raw and quirky so I felt i had license to go insane… and I did. I gave them a burnt tree with doll head ornaments, a scene of a kid walking in on her mum intimate with Santa, condoms as stockings on the mantle, vinyl record snowflakes for their live performance area and, just for my own amusement, I produced a series of bumpers for them to use to go to commercials with drunk snowmen who soiled themselves and threw up. We had a pretty good relationship after that.
