Our friend Scotty draws women caught-in-the-the-act of doing something different everyday. He plans on making a tear-off calendar, in the style of The Far Side for each day of the year, but he needs your help. Watch his short video (filmed here at Instrument) and if you like what he’s doing, through some support his way.

Is it a case of people bringing clients together or clients bringing people together? We don’t know. All we know is, the fashionable Monica Tran from Google is sporting some Nike Snowboarding gear in our office today. We back your decision, Monica. Now go join Toby on the slopes.

TEEPEE SESSION - THE ECOLOGY

In July 2011, we started asking bands to come play in our office. The first band set up in front of one of our teepees, so eventually we started calling these performances “Teepee Sessions”. Today, we are releasing our first session, which comes from Portland folk act The Ecology. Watch a short clip above, and then download their set from Soundcloud if you like.

We created this new identity, as part of a system for Google Developers. We’ll post more about the process on our work page, but for now, here is Google’s official blog post announcing it today.

What started as a simple holiday gift, ended up pulling together all aspects of our creative process. The result was a box full of goodies that we proudly, and literally, applied our stamp of approval to. The box contains:

This video serves as a snapshot of the gift’s creation. It was filmed by Instrument with music by The License Lab. We hope you enjoy it.
We’ll be posting another short video up tomorrow. This time it’s about our holiday gift package and the three secret words we utter whenever we’re about to post some new work. You will want to know these words!
The video also features the wonderfully talented (not to mention extremely good looking) Adam, Will, Jolby, Nando, Julie and some of our own crew. (Insert magic words here.)
