eBoy ("Godfathers of Pixel") is a pixel art group founded in 1998 by Steffen
Sauerteig, Svend Smital, Kai Vermehr. Based in Berlin, Eboy's founders
collaborate with Peter
Stemmler in New York to produce graphic design work for companies.
Their
work makes intense use of popular culture and commercial icons, and their style
is presented in three-dimensional isometric illustrations filled
with robots, cars, guns and girls. Their unique style has gained them a cult
following among graphic designers worldwide[citation
needed], as well as a long list of commercial clients.
eBoy has worked
with named brands and companies such as Coca-Cola, MTV, VH1 and Adidas, plus many more.
Im quite into eBoy at the moment, the whole pixel art based work is good, but from what i've seen there only doing one thing. I think all seems to be the same stuff over and over, which doesnt seem to be a good plan, for example if pixel art doesnt stick around eBoy will ahve to develop into something a little different.
