Spark and Slip. Spark and Slip.

because brilliant solutions are often odd

You have a brilliant idea. We can make it a brilliant website.

We thrive on possibilities and daydreams, freely shared ideas, and playful collaboration. We cross disciplines, break boundaries, and eat our soup with the dessert spoon. Specialization is for toy monkeys.

We love making ideas happen. That’s why we’re here.

  • Susy

    a Compass plugin & grid framework

    Because you’re a designer, not a mathematician.

    Susy is a grid system for web designers built on the techniques of Natalie Downe, the Compass authoring tool, and the Sass meta-language. Susy brings together the unique semantic control of hand-written code with the speed of a framework and the strength needed for bullet-proof design.

  • Into the Green Green Mud

    A Novel (with pictures)

    A novel of association, reference, sounds, images and movement. Words move, images shift and stranded characters wander through the rubble. Clouds come and go. And so on. And so on. Entropy is the passage of more than time. Sometimes people. Often ketchup. Love is only what it is, and often only a shadow of that. The sun moves from the three hand to the four and squirrels are collecting nuts, so where does that leave us? Alone and alone and alone.
