We’ll post the breadth of our work for Perla’s in just a few days. In the meantime: get some oysters. 2009-06-04T22:43:00-06:00 http://fodastudio.com/index.php/news/comments/claytonlevylittle_aia_award_recipient/ http://fodastudio.com/index.php/news/comments/claytonlevylittle_aia_award_recipient/#When:17:46:00Z You’ll understand our enthusiasm when we tell you that ClaytonLevyLittle—for whom we developed brand and identity—is a recipient of the AIA‘s 2009 Small Projects Award for Chapin Studio. Cheers to Emily, Paul, and Stephen and everyone at ClaytonLevyLittle for yet another award for this diminutive project. We are always humbled to be chosen by award wining designers as their design studio and grateful for the inspiration we gain by collaboration. Image by Casey Dunn.

A few years ago we contributed photography, model building and illustration to an experimental retro-sci-fi short film by David Hobizal. The short was accepted by MGFest Chicago, and they’re still showing it, 3 years later. Tonight—we’ve just learned—it airs at MGFest Austin at 501 Studios. See it in full resolution there. *Allow 5 seconds for pre roll on the video. 2009-05-14T22:30:00-06:00 http://fodastudio.com/index.php/news/comments/lo_relief_for_the_arts/ http://fodastudio.com/index.php/news/comments/lo_relief_for_the_arts/#When:12:30:00Z This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Arthouse annual fundraiser, Five x Seven. This year will be the 5th year FÖDA Studio’s creative director Jett Butler has been invited to submit work to this great event. 2009-05-13T12:30:00-06:00 http://fodastudio.com/index.php/news/comments/hoovers_sharing_creative_vision/ http://fodastudio.com/index.php/news/comments/hoovers_sharing_creative_vision/#When:03:29:00Z Hoovers CRM from Föda Studio on Vimeo. Directed by Revelator, this internal CRM spot may be about information only a sales rep could love, but Matt Muir’s vision and David Hobizal’s animation made our drawings come to life. 2009-05-08T03:29:00-06:00 http://fodastudio.com/index.php/news/comments/block_party/ http://fodastudio.com/index.php/news/comments/block_party/#When:22:21:01Z You’ll only get one chance to dance in the street this year.

Note then that the Austin AIA has announced this year’s design awards; several of our clients and collaborators are honorees. Cheers then to Juan Cotera, ClaytonLevyLittle, MJ Neal, and Andersson Wise. Special thanks to host Rick Price. We are always honored to be in the room with these folks.  2009-04-28T03:11:00-06:00 http://fodastudio.com/index.php/news/comments/dame_la_lana/ http://fodastudio.com/index.php/news/comments/dame_la_lana/#When:19:25:00Z Es poco frecuente que alguien te pida que rompas las reglas. Who made the rules? ¿Bajo qué normas debemos de suponer que una cantina—con el santo patrono de los pobres y los contrabandistas como tocayos—deba de someterse a cualquier regla menos la suya? Encima de la Calle Dos, al aire libre en el patio de Malverde, las reglas pueden ser muy distintas. Quizás sólo parecen ser distintas. 2009-04-02T19:25:00-06:00 http://fodastudio.com/index.php/news/comments/claytonlevylittle/ http://fodastudio.com/index.php/news/comments/claytonlevylittle/#When:18:37:00Z With unity, humility, simplicity, and elegance, the quiet observers at ClaytonLevyLittle emerge with a new identity. They look, ‘differently’. 2009-03-17T18:37:00-06:00 http://fodastudio.com/index.php/news/comments/a_chef_and_his_studio/ http://fodastudio.com/index.php/news/comments/a_chef_and_his_studio/#When:15:49:00Z Recently, a routine design meeting with Larry McGuire turned into an impromptu interview for the Austin-American Statesman. The article focuses on Larry’s “empire” and commends us for our contributions: “...and the custom, flowing script of the Perla’s logo...has a big-city feel, evoking the hand-lettering on a vintage yacht...” Read the full article... *Please note Jett’s serious “designer” expression in the extended photo gallery. 2009-03-11T15:49:00-06:00 http://fodastudio.com/index.php/news/comments/we_go_on_record/ http://fodastudio.com/index.php/news/comments/we_go_on_record/#When:16:02:00Z The renowned Architectural Record has elected to publish the Fairfield Residence by Webber+Studio as its House Of The Month. The leading night shot, plans and diagrams were produced by us.

Teuscher Austin: our sweetest client has a new shop on 2nd street.  2009-03-05T21:20:00-06:00 http://fodastudio.com/index.php/news/comments/language_room_is_a_band/ http://fodastudio.com/index.php/news/comments/language_room_is_a_band/#When:23:17:00Z Their new album is One By One.

Led by Jesse Herman and built around a menu by executive chef Rene Ortiz, the project is a who’s who of great talent in a number of fields in Austin. FÖDA Studio had a very small role, and we’re honored to have been involved in this project alongside designers like Michael Hsu, Joel Mozersky, and Mucca in NY. 2009-02-26T01:11:00-06:00
