Kevin Smith...and thats all I have to say



Floored. Amazed. Excited. Speechless...err..Silent. Those are just a few of the feelings we had when we were commissioned to do custom "Clerks" themed Wii for Kevin Smith's Christmas Gift!! From what we understand Silent Bob is an avid gamer and this would be his first Wii - No pressure :).

The Wii was painted using flat gray scale colors to match the black and white clerks characters. The stand features the main characters each back-lit with two "stage lights" that beam up to highlight the custom 3D Clerks logo. The opposite side has a specially back-lit logo of his production company. Finally, the controllers were painstakingly hand painted letter by letter to feature his name one controller and his most famous alter ego on the second. As a most respectful nod to his writing, the font was meant to look like one an old typewriter might use.

All and all it was about 60 hours of very exciting work. It was a crazy experience to get the chance to create something for such and established and successful artist and one we will not soon forget. We're often humbled by some the opportunities we get around here but perhaps none so much as this one.

We were just informed that he and the family love it and that's a Christmas gift for us all on its own.
