eBoy
(GER)
Masters of the pixel universe!
eBoy was founded in 1998 by Steffen Sauerteig, Svend Smital and Kai Vermehr
with the acquisition of the eBoy.com domain.
Some time later Peter Stemmler in NYC joined the group working on his
own vector based pictures. The basic idea driving eBoy was the embracement
of the new possibilities of an emerging digital world. Pictures could
be copied as many times as necessary if they were digital - no printing
and low production costs. Data could be sent to the most distant placed
of the globe in seconds.
The work had to be designed specifically for the screen and so eBoy went
the pixel way. This way there was 100% of control what would happen on
the screen. Pixels felt quite good and were big fun handling. Soon the
word spread, and magazines began writing about the eBoy universe. Clients
as MTV.com, SAP, Adidas and many more have hired eBoy and the so called
"pixel style" begun to spread all over the world.
