MY WORK
I get paid to provoke you.
Jack O’iLantern

The scariest things… live in your basement.
The State of New York wants to convince home and business owners that oil tanks are a thing of the past. These bulky, dirty, outdated heating systems aren’t just cumbersome but are, in fact, a truly scary, dangerous and money sucking piece of equipment to have living in your basement.
So this Halloween, we partnered with a local metalsmith and sculpture artist to transform an old, gross, inefficient oil tank, into the first ever Jack Oi’Lantern.
Kids reacted to it. Grown ups did too, and they acknowledged what we already know—the age of scary oil tanks is over, the time of the heat pump, has come.
