We recently had the opportunity to work with some friends to create a brand for their newest endeavor, Animal Media Group. One of their first projects is an incredibly moving documentary called Blood Brother, which they were gracious enough to share with us, and had me choking back tears for nearly 90 minutes straight. Watch the newest trailer (below) and look for the film in theaters soon. Bring some tissue.
We're excited to announce 'Unboxing', a new video series where we open, unpack and showcase the latest products we've worked on. First up: Our Hexapillar Gift Card for Target, another fun project from the creative folks at inHouse. We had loads 'o fun creating Hexapillar and as you can tell, the metamorphosis was successful.
Stay tuned for Episode 2!
We are very pleased to be contributing to EMP's new exhibit exploring the world of horror film and the human experience it produces.

And check out the portfolio for a more extensive look at the work!
Excited? Uhhhhh yeah, me too.
Thanks Shane.
Here is a cover that we did for a documentary about The Doors, titled "When You're Strange." Unfortunately this cover was rejected when it turned out that the band just "wanted a band photo" instead. We thought we'd show it to you anyway, as we're rather fond of it.
We've been posting fairly frequent blog entries over at MTV's Headbangers Blog, giving in-depth views into various design projects. This time, you can read about the artwork for Demon Hunter's forthcoming 3-disc release, "45 Days."
Holy smokes! I can't decide on whether I'd like to be Morpheus or John Lasseter at this moment. So good.
Thanks Rob.
45 Days. A Film About Demon Hunter By Cale Glendening.
Wes Anderson's classic film Bottle Rocket (my second favorite of his films, behind Rushmore) now gets its own Criterion Collection. Not a bad thing at all.
It seems as if House Industries is making a film about Ed Rondthaler.
From the House blog: 'We had the privilege to spend a day filming Ed Rondthaler, living legend, founder of Photo-Lettering, Inc., former president of the American Literacy Council and author of The Dictionary of Simplified American Spelling'.
See the amazing trailer here.
The Totoro Forest Project is a 'A fund raising exhibition/auction to support the national trust Totoro Forest Foundation that Oscar winning film maker Hayao Miyazaki has been helping over the years, featuring original art created by internationally acclaimed artists in the fields of animation, comic books, and illustration.'
I did notice that many of these pieces were created by Pixar illustrators, animators and directors. The work is absolutely stunning and I just love the concept.
A book featuring all of the pieces should be available on September 6th.
The Archive is a great (and very well done) little documentary on Paul Mawhinney, owner of the world's largest record collection. You may need to dry a tear or two.

Keeping with our morning theme of bands east of the Atlantic, here's the new video from Glasgow's favorite sons: Something Anything. Is it just me, or is Fran getting more and more gray with each album? Who cares. 40 is the new 20.
Ode To J. Smith is out 9/29.
Kevin Kelley from Film School Rejects got a call from Skywalker Ranch to preview the new Clone Wars film. After his mild heart attack, he was able to take a TON of great photos of the infamous ranch. Lucky for us. Enjoy.
