Cars Conspiracy

June 11, 2006

A quick detour from the world of icons for a moment to talk about the new PIXAR film Cars. Some of the workers saw the latest animated feature from the wizards at Steve’s other place of work this weekend and we have to say we were impressed. This comes as a relief since ever since […]

Don’t look now, but our robotic slaves are about to rise up against us and make us do those lame chores we’ve been pushing on them like the laundry, food shopping and walking the dog.

We came across a nice posting from a fellow iconist today that we thought we would share with our visitors. Seems as though Jamie and others are going through Pixelpalooza withdrawal and long for the heady days of pixelated madness that each winter brought here at the factory.
