MIKE FOGG
I am a Freelance Art Director, and 3D artist currently focused on helping brands and athletes discover their visual voice with a deep focus on advertising campaigns and conceptual 3D storytelling and web3 branding.
I’m a naturally curious, ambitious creative, with a love for sports and streetwear. I love visual design in all its forms and I love the process of studying and experimenting with new styles and visual techniques.
As a self-employed artist, I've been honored to collaborate with brands such as Adidas, Chicago Bulls, and the New York Yankees, to a multitude of smaller independent brands. My 3D work has been purchased and collected by athletes such as Paul George, Steph Curry, Odell Beckem Jr., and Gary Harris. I've also had the huge honor of being shown at Art Basel Miami, and NFT Seoul.
As an Art Director with over 8 years of experience, I've been fortunate enough to concept and work with brands and athletes such as Ford Motor Co., Dallas Cowboys, Las Vegas Raiders, Paul George, and Justin Verlander. I've worked on several broadcast, digital, web/mobile, and integrated campaigns all over the world.
As an Entrepreneur, I co-own and creative direct an E-Sports brand, as well as operate
my personal brand as an artist.
Inspired by race, culture, and the ability to come together during tough times.
Proud Filipino. Proud Coloradan. Proud whisky enthusiast.

I've done a couple of projects with Mike now, and through them both I've found him to be an incredibly smart and creative artist. He gets where the world is going, and understands how technology & community can unlock creative possibilities. He's a talented artist, but also a wonderful human being.

Mike Fogg is MORE than an art director or creative leader, he’s a proven architect of creating human connections. First, he crafts concepts that are both unique and on-brand. Then, he simplifies complex brand messages into a language that today’s youth understands and believes. Being web3 native, Mike also translates the physical with the digital in a way that is seamless and approachable. Together, Mike Fogg’s work delivers campaigns that are both memorable and effective, driving results for clients that often surpass very high expectations. He’s someone I’ve chosen to work with on some of the most important moments and projects and I plan to continue to do so into the expansive future

Mike is a special creative mind when it comes to brand design, commercial art and brand advertising with work across multiple platforms, brands and mediums where he uses his skillsets in brand design and 3D to awesome effect. We’ve collaborated on everything from commercial automotive campaigns to web3 NFT play to earn video game content and this guy never misses a detail or a deadline. As much the wise guru in the web3 world as he is a fearless innovator in traditional advertising techniques, Mike brings a fresh and diverse perspective to any problem and his solution-oriented style of collaboration leads to fantastic creative results.

You won't find someone with more grit and ambition than Mike.
