The inks of dawn Our expedition embodied the desire to find a new hue for our souls. After a year of travel, on the first day of the year, we arrived at the borders of our world. There, we discovered the color of the unknown. Happy new year 2026 everyone! 🎆

In December 2024, we started a collaboration with MetaZoo Games, as they were looking for artists to give birth to some of their ideas. We recently got feedback from the MetaZoo community about our work on that project, so we felt like sharing some of what we did!

Portfolio update : The Dust Library "He told me he had all the books in the world. I took him for a strange poet, but I followed him for four days and three nights in the desert, curious to know the outcome of his fable. He hadn't lied."

Portfolio update : Infrabass "We've traveled the galaxy to find the source of this hypnotically rhythmic signal. After thousands of years of travel, we've finally arrived at the source of this enigma. That's when the commander and his deputy began to dance frantically."

Portfolio update : The Mirror of Pride "She's been following me for several days; I only see her at dusk. She always stays about ten paces away. When I confront her, she claims to be my shadow. I then asked her if I was her light. She replied that I was confusing my pride with her patience."

Portfolio update : School’s Out 1997 "When the bell rang, a new day opened up before us. In the last rays of the sun, freedom came alive on the way home. Finally, the future, the bullies, and the boredom were far away."
