8FISH is a jack-of-all-trades creative workshop that has been producing mind-
blowing animation, design and illustration for over ten years. The secret to
8fish's success is a feisty team of incredibly talented and versatile artists who
constantly challenge themselves and each other. Their combined artistic
knowledge is enough to fill volumes, but currently they are working on
unloading it one book at a time.
