Scientific American magazine approached us to illustrate the theory of digital space, much similar to that of The Matrix. Our original commission to create the DPS for the article was so well received that it got promoted to the front cover.

Over 210 hours, using a variety of Micron pens and displaying the patience of a particularly patient monk, artist Miguel Endara recreated a photocopied image of his father in 3.2 million dots.

You can see detailed, zoom-able, high-res images of the picture on his website http://miguelendara.com/. A making-of video is below

The Leonardo da Vinci exhibition at the National Gallery in London is proving to be one of the most successful exhibitions ever, for good reason.

The Guardian Newspaper has created this very cool interactive guide to some of his work, "from grotesque caricatures to sublime nudes", and it is well worth checking out...

Just saw this on the New York Times site. Unexpected to say the least. And all the better for that.

A mighty collaboration with interactive developers BASIK (and a crash course in American college football) made this infographic for Nissan a reality.

Tasked with creating the visuals and building the front-end showing the progress of Nissan’s crowd-sourced vote in the Heisman trophy race, we went straight to the playing field and got the various players competing to make their way up the field.

A little dimensional illustration combined with some 3D rendering all built in Flash makes for a fun application that lets users see how their favorite Heisman candidates are doing. The application updates voting tallies daily and lets users see the progress of the race over time.

Oh, and now we know A LOT more about American football.

Some beautiful monkey business from our magic man, Russ Murphy.

We continue our lovely work for Biomega with this latest tasty bit of packaging design...

We've been working on a front cover design for The American Lawyer magazine alongside Jessica Walsh, and it's become a bit of a labour of love. Here's a few behind the scenes shots along the way...
