Brave Kids Art Club
The pandemic has brought many new challenges, and one of the biggest ones for us personally, is finding ways to entertain our kids that we feel good about –– read: less video games and mindless TV more educational or creative content.
FAO Schwarz Rebrand
Some of you may remember the magical experience that was walking into an FAO Schwarz toy store as a kid. It was the toy store of dreams with the giant teddy bear and toy soldiers to greet you as you walked in, massive talking trees in the middle of the store, and so many other interactive experiences. After sadly closing down in 2016, the store is under new ownership who wants to turn things around. Starting with the branding.FAO Schwarz hired the amazing studio, Mattson Creative, to tackle the rebranding, and the results, of course, are mind-blowing.
Our New Online Texture Course is Live!
Finding the perfect texture for your next illustration or design project doesn't have to be such a struggle. You have everything you need to make your very own, custom textures from things you can find all around you! In this course we are going to find and create physical textures that we can then scan into the computer to make a range of different digital texture tools! So step away from the screen, get your hands dirty, and make some textures!
