A video we did for We Are Scientists just dropped. Check it out. Hello Ohio! Labour will be in Columbus on Feb 18, addressing the Columbus Society of Communicating Arts. We promise it'll be fun. We've collaborated again with illustration juggernaut Justin Fines – this time a short piece for the NY Times Magazine's ‘Year In Ideas’ online issue, visualizing a world with ‘printable batteries’. We've been quite busy the last few months working on a half-hour documentary. Welcome to the Family examines the close relationships Porsche owners have with their automobiles. The doc premieres tonight, 10/15, at 10E/9C on IFC. It'll be in the rotation the next few weeks, so check your listings. Labour has directed 5 fun short spots for Kate Spade for their upcoming Summer fashion line. They're rolling out over the next few weeks, so keep an eye open for them. Labour is proud to have been featured in Print Magazine's New Visual Artists issue (March/April 2009) as one of 20 artists under the age of 30 selected.

Labour rings in 2009 with some new projects – a short animated film for GOOD about the Opium trade, another short film done with RE:UP for Scion premiers Jan 22 in New York and LA. Also, a feature interview for ADC Young Guns 6 is arriving soon, and you can see a teaser here. We've done a new T-Shirt design for this year's SXSW festival and have a few more projects on the burner. Busy! Been busy. Here are a few things we've been up to: just wrapped up a video with Mother for a sneaker company, putting some finishing touches on a Transparency piece for GOOD and had some work published in the new Invitation and Promotion Design book. We'll post links as they're released. Look for our illustrations for the Intelligencer section of New York magazine. We'll be doing a few weeks worth (9.15, 9.22 and 9.29).

Artist/surfer/skater/awesome guy Mike Ming created custom latptop artwork for Dell computers, and we created a short video profile of his life and work. Done in conjunction with Mother Industries and Greencard. Seed Media and MoMA recently held their MIND08 Conference for which we created print and web materials. The conference was an extension of their Design and the Elastic Mind exhibit about the meeting of science and design. We also worked with Seed and MoMA on the Experiment video.
