Don't worry, the Coen Brothers haven't licensed their characters for advertising. These frames are just self-promotion pieces I've sent to Art Directors to promote my storyboard skillz. I wanted to do something different than just sending past storyboard projects for my first big promo push so I thought I'd combine my love of film with a promo piece that is also practical for the ad industry. It just so happens that my favorite filmmakers, the Coen Brothers, use identifiable products in their films, usually to poke fun at Americans' steadfast brand loyalty. In this first series of four, the Coen characters advertise products they either interact with or mention in the respective films. Chad (Brad Pitt) from Burn After Reading glugs Gatorade, the Dude and Walter from The Big Lebowski shill a can of Folger's (which house Donny's remains), Jerry Lundegaard (William H. Macy) from Fargo hawks an '86 tan Cutlass Cierra at Gustafson Motors, and H.I., Ed, and Nathan Jr. peddle a hot bundle of Huggies from Raising Arizona.
