Twisted firestarter
From the Outback to the rooftops, Luke is always in his element when there's danger afoot! Whether skipping baretoe across crocodiles in a swamp, catching crooks with a boomerang, or bashing on a couple of wallabies, Luke will always stare danger in the eye, and say 'G'day mate'.
After spotting a fire that was going out of control on an adjoining rooftop to our office, Luke leapt down the fire escape, scaled fences, and leapt to the aid of our neighbors armed with a bottle of mineral water and a manful beard. The bigger the beard, the bigger the man.
The fire brigade were called - not that they were needed - and all 5 fire trucks and 30+ firemen arrived with only half a job to do.
Of course, we'll never tell them the real story of how the fire started...... twisted firestarter.
Ben in profile
The photographer William George Wadman recently paid a visit to our production studio to snap a few pics of Vault49's Technical Director, Ben Wilkinson-Raemer. These are some cool pics, and Ben is not as evil as he looks.
Taking Care of Business
It's Labor Day weekend for us native Americans and global ex-pats. On Monday we'll be taking a well-earned holiday, but we've arranged for someone to take care of bizniz in our absence...
Our old friend Al Murphy is behind this bit of magic... nearly ten years since we first worked together!
Serge's Love Rug
I'm really not sure there's too much to be said about this little experiment, apart from wow, creepy, & cool in equal measure. We've been playing around with some fun stuff with Serge Seidlitz gorgeous work for a little bit, and this features his ace patternwork.
Congrats Elliott!
Our boy Elliott's making an honest woman of his lovely lady, while making a thoroughly disreputable man of himself! This weekend saw Elliott take the streets of Brighton for his stag-do, and it's unlikely the town has witnessed such scenes before!
Congrats from all of us Elliott - your move to New York is now a matter of necessity, not just desire, after the trail of destruction you left behind :)
Don't Ask, Don't Tell
OK so we're not the US military, but there's a definite don't ask don't tell policy with this photo. I could explain what John and Kat are up to, but... oh the mystery is better.
Just a regular day...
Only slightly staged for a double DPS feature that Advanced Photoshop magazine are doing on our studio...
Beefy Creative Direction
Vault49 take pride in going the extra mile. We don't always seek the easy route, we like to challenge ourselves. That's why John likes to deliver creative guidance while doing one-toed push-ups while suspended in the air.
Damn, that's some quality feedback. This design's going to look crap amazing.
Workbench awesomeness
We've been slowly kitting our new office out over the last few months... we've got custom desks made out of reclaimed bowling alley flooring, bookcases built from plumbing pipe and old mill boards, and... this... just wow. It's a workbench for our model-making, again crafted from reclaimed bowling alley floors, but this time fitted with a giant roller so we can wheel it around the office, and crush some bones and stuff too. Ace.
