Lucky Mojo



Flash website Intro
Friends of the Brother Jimmy's BBQ restaurant. Lucky Mojo was one very unique restaurant. A folk art southern style with a wilder menu; BBQ Cajun/Creole Mexican and Sushi! On certain nights they had live bands playing.

Half-way through the project, the restaurants closed it doors. And, a very fun project was ripped from my desk. Insert sad face. Above there is a very rough video that I was trying to mold into form. It could have been sooooo good! Fuck.

While idle, characters in cards have animated facial expressions. The eye inside the hand will follow the cursor around the screen.
