We love us some Waterbobble!

We’re madly in love with the Bobble these days, and not just because they’re a new client of ours. It’s a beautiful, simple, smart & environmentally-conscious line of products (with more coming!), and it turns out they’re also incredibly nice guys with an interesting back story. If you don’t know, Bobble is a Karim Rashid-designed [...]

Need more motion graphics wizards!

We’re looking to expand our roster of Motion Graphics resources on a project basis, so if you (or someone you know) is a highly-skilled, reliable and easy-going motion designer, please get in touch.

It was a pleasure to see Sting play Message In A Bottle, as well as a full concert by Stevie Wonder. Brian Williams [...]

While we’ve been out of touch

As we gather new updates (which we’ll make as soon as we have a free moment!), we’d like to strongly encourage New Yorkers to make the trek to Queens to check out Flux Factory‘s new space. While viewing the current exhibit in the brand-new (amazing!) living-and-gallery-space won’t come close to the experience of the initial [...]
