- Winter Olympics
- 2/22/10 — GE chose our studio to create images in our signature anatomical style for its 2010 Winter Olympic Games campaign. We worked with the folks at BBDO to come up with five pieces: a snowboarder, a downhill skier, a figure skater, a speed skater, and a Paralympic downhill skier. These images are seen all over Vancouver, on billboards and buses, and have been used on spots on NBC during the Games.
