“Benny Box is a small design- and production company, working with animation, motion graphics, illustration and graphic design.

We have been working with different kinds of design for years. We started out with uninspiring work for printing 10 years ago, but are finally doing what we really love. We are most grateful for our assignments and clients, but we are still looking for new and challenging jobs. Even though we have worked in the field for 10 years we have been studying design on the side, and graduated from Danish School of Design in 2005, institute for visual communication.

We have a simple goal with all our work: To create consistent, visual environments around the products or subjects we work with.

Rune Fisker & Esben Fisker, Benny Box
(yes, we are brothers by the way)”

“Ben Chlapek is a freelance illustrator/designer/printer living in Missouri. When he isn’t drawing, he is probably printing or eating. This site’s main purpose is to show his work and make you a little bit happy.”

A friend of mind forwarded a note about The Silent Giants on to me today and I was really amped by their work. They are a small screenprinting and design shop just starting out but their work is just awesome. The best part is that all of their posters and album work are for bands that I absolutely love. Really really great stuff. Do yourself a favor and buy one of their posters to hang on your wall.

Keep your eye on these people.
