As we move fully into summer and the heat kicks in, Draw fires it up. We've got many things cooking in our kitchen this month.

Petro directed with the illustrious Nikka Costa. Nikka wanted to change things up a bit and comments on how she is an evolving person, with evolving music. Petro delivered exactly what she asked for in this upbeat electro video that slightly mocks our obsession with fame, wealth and power. And we are wrapping out Nickelodeon's huge TV sensation Big Time Rush. Petro directed a video for their new song "City is Ourz." Keep an eye out for this one. Fans anxiously await the video release. Today Petro is shooting a video for Starshell's "Superluva" on Interscope Records. The song is a very catchy electro-pop piece that is sure to be blasting on all the top stations. The video will undoubtedly have you dancing in your living room. It's OK... we know you are... rock on!

Matt Lenski directed Hal Linton's debut single "Mind Control" (Universal/Motown) off the album Return From The Future. Many people compare Hal's music to that of D'Angelo and Maxwell. Matt directed Hal in a warm, sensual style that evokes the feelings of his idol Marvin Gaye. Hal said "Matt Lenski’s treatment and ideas for the video was amazing." We're glad you like it Hal. We think it's a beautiful introduction to what is surely to become Motowns' next great hit!

Felix and Paul shot an intriguing almost vintage style video in 2D and 3D version of "The Saddest Thing I Know" for the eccentric and anomalous Aussie band: Birds of Tokyo. The self titled album releases on July 23, 2010. We have the 2D version of the video here, but if you have some red/green 3D glasses, you'll want to slide those puppies on and sit back for a great treat. Felix & Paul collaborated with the artists to create an innovative process for 3D. Shhh!!! We're not telling any secrets... just yet.

2010 is already a year of great promise. We are pleased to announce a new president at Draw Pictures. We welcome Christopher Salzgeber, a seasoned producer of some of the finest commercials and music videos and a former director himself, now leading Draw Pictures into what promises to be a robust and flourishing year with Executive Producers Sebastian Kaufmann and Jessica Hundley bestowing their much valued knowledge and creativity as usual.

Matt Lenski has done it again... he just completed a striking photographic performance video with just enough of the grit and sass we come to expect from Eli "Paperboy" Reed (EMI Music). The song "Come On And Get It" is a sexy yet quirky fusion of R&B meets southern soul and Matt was able to capture it in tantalizing visuals. Stayed tuned for the video soon to come. Also, check out his video for Band of Horses "The Funeral." It broke over the 4 million viewer mark on YouTube.

Kenn Macrae directed Erika Heynatz new video for her debut single 'Kingdom' now available on iTunes.
