Video interview with eBoy

OK so I’m a little late in getting this edited and uploaded. Sorry about that. For those who don’t know, eBoy is a creative team that specializes in pixel art. They are considered the masters in their field and they produce a wide array of different things like posters and toys. I’ve always been a big fan of their work ever since I saw a piece they did for Computer Arts years ago.

Mike contracted eBoy to create the Adobe AIR launch poster and corresponding t-shirts which came out awesome. eBoy is actually selling a limited amount of the shirts right now on their site. While on the European AIR tour, Mike and I visited their studio in Berlin and shot the following video. This isn’t necessarily Flash-related but it’s cool to see their design space and how they work.

    This is great. I loved the shirts and posters when they were first shown and I love these style of interviews/work space tours. It’s inspiring to put the faces and personalities to the work that’s out there.

    Oh and shoutout to Kai rockin the red wristband(04:00). Must be working damn hard to require the sweatband to keep that mouse dry.
