They have gone on to create rich content for games, film, toys, comics, advertising, and new media and have 175 major entertainment clients -- including 19 of the top 20 game publishers -- and have completed 235 major AAA projects to date. All three of those statistics lead the field.
His clients include Microsoft, Nintendo, Sony, id, Bethesda, EA, THQ, Blizzard, NCsoft, Warner Bros. and others, with established teams in San Francisco and Asia.

They offer a comprehensive package of concept to 3D to animation services, encompassing all artwork necessary to complete AAA video game titles.
