Modern traces the journey of an enraptured man and woman from the pastoral, ascetic existence of rural life to the apex of urbanity and back again. They travel through space and time, moving through the ages from a simpler, traditional America to the proliferation of the city, and the eruption of the urban metropolis that is New York. Through their eyes, the city is monumental and glorious; its momentum and power impossible to ignore. Written & Directed by Jon Beasley & Isabelle Albuquerque. Director of Photography: Bradford Young. Stylist: Natasha Royt. Music: Hecuba.

Posters for the album Modern. Created in collaboration with Lauren Dukoff. We translated the simple graphic symbols of Modern's cover into human form for the posters. Photography: Lauren Dukoff. Art direction and design: Jon Beasley & Isabelle Albuquerque.

We developed a clean and minimal approach to both the branding and website for artist management company Stardust Brands, while still allowing a sense of irregularity and rythm throughout. We also developed a clear yet robust content management system to allow Stardust Brands to effectively manage and update their site. Art direction and design: Jon Beasley & Isabelle Albuquerque. Development: Chandler McWilliams & Jon Gacnik.

Artwork in collaboration with Lita Albuquerque and Chandler McWilliams. The Beekeeper 28,141 – 1,407,057 series consists of six limited edition photographic prints that were installed at the Laguna Museum. The images were created using custom generative software that traces the paths of each pixel as it goes through the process of forming and unforming an image of a beekeeper. The works are based on the live computer generated work we previously created called Beekeeper.

Created for the Siblings issue of W Magazine, Siblings features different brothers and sisters (both real and imagined). Pieces of each sibling's life and familial relationships are glimpsed as their thoughts are revealed in text one word at a time. The film was written and directed by Jon Beasley & Isabelle Albuquerque, with music by Hecuba, styled by Djuna Bel, and features Lukas Haas, Simon Haas & Nikolai Haas, Annakim Violette, Bianca Gomez & Cassandra Smith, Alison Macullough & Sarah Emmons, and Cecily Manson & Ashley Scott.

We created an identity and site that is frank, clean and modern for Arts & Sciences. The site has a step-down button navigation that acts as breadcrumbs and a fully branded user interface and media players. We also created a custom content management system for the site. Art Direction & Design: Jon Beasley & Isabelle Albuquerque. Development: Richard Caceres.

We created a new approach to an agency website for Little Minx. Using keyboard navigation and scrolling links, the user moves over a single chalkboard surface to explore the site. Individual projects can be added to the "Favorites" section on the chalkboard where personal collections can be shared. The iPad version utilizes the pinch and swoosh gestures to glide over the chalkboard, or zoom out to a bird's eye view. Art Direction & Design: Jon Beasley & Isabelle Albuquerque. Development: Richard Caceres.

For stylist Djuna Bel, we developed a strong identity and thorough site that catalogs her work in an archive browsable by her many clients and collaborators. Art Direction: Jon Beasley & Isabelle Albuquerque. Design: Jon Beasley & Simon Haas. Development: Jon Beasley.

The album artwork for Hecuba's Modern is a pair of reduced graphic symbols floating together in a field of primary red. The two shapes are quintessentially modernist columns that allow for multiple meanings. The website expands on the album's graphic language.

This site (created for a line of ACB accessories) utilized full screen images to evoke the classic beauty and refined S & M undertones throughout the collection. We photographed both a male and female model wearing ACB works, focusing on the body and the materials of the pieces while blurring the two physiques together. Art direction, photography and design: Jon Beasley & Isabelle Albuquerque. Development: Jon Beasley.

Invitations for the label Creatures of the Wind for shows, presentations and exhibitions. Each collection's themes and aesthetic overtones were the inspiration for our invites. Art direction, photography and design: Jon Beasley & Isabelle Albuquerque.

Websites and identity design for the label Creatures of the Wind for various collections. Themes and aesthetic overtones were the inspiration for each iteration of the site. Art direction and design: Jon Beasley & Isabelle Albuquerque.

For Hecuba's Paradise album, we drew upon the Greek reference in the name, and the title Paradise suggested to us the ruins of the statue city of Pompeii. We combined these ideas and decided we needed broken statues of the two members of Hecuba, presented like Greek busts recovered from a ruin with only their heads remaining. So, we set about sculpting and breaking, and ended up with "Paradise." The photographs of these sculptures carried over into the web identity for the album, and the disappearing idea from Pompeii extended into the "Lost Hecuba" spread of their costumes floating in a green ocean in the album's booklet. Art direction, sculpture, photography and design: Jon Beasley & Isabelle Albuquerque.

For Hecuba's Suffering video, we created a film referencing the world of early Kenneth Anger films – complete with custom-studded leather, codpieces, bikes & hotrods, greasy bedrooms and seedy backrooms. We added the female element with our cast of gorgeous girls and tipped our hat to a few other 50′s sexual icons. Written by Jon Beasley & Isabelle Albuquerque. Directed by Jon Beasley & Isaiah Seret. Cinematography by Arthur Jaffa. Artwork by Jon Beasley. Set photography by Lauren Dukoff.

Collaborating with Chandler McWilliams, Ryan Heffington, Nina McNeely, and Amy Jo Diaz, we created visuals for a performance at MOCA that interacted with an ensemble of dancers. The visuals were created using both animated and generative software. Choreographed by Ryan Heffington.

For artists, designers, and fabricators Haas Brothers, we created an off-the-grid site with a balance between tight and loose to reflect their unique approach to objects. We utilized splitting images, ragged edges overlaid text, and a concise organization to allow the site to be off-kilter but easily intelligible. Art direction and design: Jon Beasley & Isabelle Albuquerque. Development: Jon Beasley & Richard Caceres.

We created a clean, direct site for the photographer and director (and frequent Osk collaborator) Lauren Dukoff that features her work in photography, filmmaking and print. Art direction, design and development: Jon Beasley.

Beekeeper is a software-driven generative digital work made in collaboration with artists Lita Albuquerque and Chandler McWilliams for the Weisman Museum. Each pixel of a beekeeper's body travels out into the space surrounding it, choosing its own path as it travels. Eventually, the particles reach an equilibrium in space, then they begin plotting their course back to create the beekeeper-artwork again. The Installation of Beekeeper was as dual projections that "lived" for the duration of the exhibition, never repeating the same movement twice.
