February 23, free images: green

We know St. Paddy's Day is coming up. We also didn't feel like just filling in a page of little happy lepricons and shamrocks... not to say we won't next week. You are creative people so we figured we'd just hit the keyword green and pull out some useful... or maybe not-so-useful items to get you teased for when the luck of the Irish hits you.

FITC - 2008 in review part 1 - Teaser trailer

Yea we are big fans of FITC and Erin Kelly the FITC events operations manager who might we say, organized a flawless event in Toronto and a number of other FITC events put on all around the world. Stock Archive was a sponsor of the event in Toronto last year. Our creative division Victory Arts [ www.victoryarts.com ] produced some content for them while we were there to capture some of the energy and events. We highly recommend visiting the FITC website [ www.fitc.ca ] and attending their events. Amazing speakers, super talented people, wicked parties and great inpsiration.

Here is a video recap of last years event Part 1 we put together for them. Maybe it will get you out to this years event.

Also... a special thanks to some creative folks who helped in the creation of the video we thank Bryan Parnell, Steve Capyk, Masayo Shimizu and of course to Kyle Skinner for hosting and assisting during the event... and even though Will Reid is already part of the group and would essentially be thanking himself we thank him again for lugging the SteadyCam for 3 days straight. I think he lost about 10 pounds during the entire event. Stay Gold everyone

February 9th's free images: Stick it to the man

OK, when did the cute little icon man get such a bad rap.... maybe it was the anger issues, booze, drugs and 9mm beretta... I don't know... just thinking out loud here. In any case if these guys are too much for you there are also some soft sweet and innocent stick men and women feeling happy just waiting for you on the site this week for free.We must say to Masayo our next featured Hero (who created these morbid stick men for us). "Nanisama-no-tsumori". Good on ya.
