illustration

We have several artists who have worked in a variety of different styles so we can do just about anything. I could go on and on about how great we all are, but I'll just let the work speak. To see examples of our illustration work look through the artists pages.

graphic design

The challenge in setting your brand apart is the fact that consumers have all most infinite choices. Creating a compelling image is essential to the brand name of company. You could leave this task up to someone who claims to be an "designer" or "artist" of some sort. The funny thing is you can spend money on a design degree, but you can't buy talent. We've been living, breathing, and studying visual communication our entire lives. We can offer our combined insight and experience in creating unique presentations rivaled by few.

Why let someone misrepresent you with an outdated or generic trend in design. Just as an example, People sometimes use fake "graffiti" style graphics hoping to reach the illusive "urban youth market". These may look acceptable to people who don't really care for graffiti, but anyone with a connection to the culture will be alienated, offending the core of your target market. This goes for all design styles, not just graffiti. You should hire experts who can commission artists specific to the style you're developing.

murals

Our mural team is Lead by Luke Stock of Stock Devine murals, a world renowned mural team. He has done work for Dreamworks, Sprout fund for public art, Scion, Serius, Think Tank, Smithfield street Productions, Kid Renaissance Films and many more. His main focus begins with working closely with the communities we've been invited to work in. Starting by taking account of the neighborhoods history and going over the specific focus of the landmark, and ending with something the residents of the neighborhood can feel good about.

The cost of a large scale mural can be expensive. That's why we work closely with public art charities and can offer very significant discounts to organizations which are also focused on helping to improve their communities. If you would like to see examples of our mural teams obsession they are in Stock's Art page and new ones are added regularly.

video

Levels page has few short films including a cross country cycling documentary called Someplace Else. Aside from producing his own video's he takes on a wide variety of freelance projects. Recently posted are some updated examples of his freelance commercial work.

He edit's raw footage into easy to follow and entertaining formats for Television, DVD or the Internet. If you need advanced motion graphics such as titles, captions, and animated graphics, DVD authoring and dynamic menu features he's got that covered as well.
