To highlight the absurdity of doing nothing in the face of catastrophic climate change, Cabot Norton and I created a line of classic toy-inspired likenesses of prominent public figures who claim, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, that there is no reason to act.
Bringing the Climate Inaction Figures collection to life took an incredibly talented team. None of this would’ve been possible without the generous support of Joel Bach and David Gelber of Years of Living Dangerously. The sculpting process was led by artist extraordinaire Nao Matsumoto. The eye-popping renderings were exquisitely executed by Chris Williamson. Ninja von Oertzen did a gorgeous job with the logo and packaging design. TackleBox Films, Beast Editorial, Pull and Method Studios did exceptional work bringing the commercial to life. And a big thanks to Tractor and Relish Interactive, led by Steve Huber, who worked closely with Mike Sheppard to create the site. And a shoutout to my buddies Darren Moran, Jeff Greenspan, Andy Tider and Gene Na for all their input and support.
