About
At Electric Art we see ourselves as image-creators and our vision is simple: to be one of the best in the world.
With a head office in Sydney’s Surry Hills, this Australian company are considered pioneers in 3D for print and virtual photography.
Founded by Managing Director Jonathon Eadie in 1993, Electric Art is a globally celebrated image production specialist leading the way in creative retouching and 3D. Creative Director and Partner, Bruce Bigelow joined the company over 13 years ago. The pair met in the mid 1980s and formed a strong friendship and professional association after sharing a studio space.
A strategic push in the early days saw Electric Art concentrate its focus on high-end creative retouching, a category we believe we started. It was for this re-brand we introduced our ‘Play God’ motto.
Our international success has been reinforced by a dominant presence in all major international advertising awards, including multiple Cannes Lions over the past 16 years. We have collaborated with the most recognised agencies, photographers and creative directors both locally and overseas.
Electric Art's Olympus Animals campaign picked up a coveted Gold Lion at Cannes 2008, but perhaps one of their most memorable accolades was received for the multi-award winning ‘Welcome Snoop’ campaign featuring controversial rapper Snoop Dogg for MTV Networks Australia upon, which dominated the 2008 AWARD awards, Cannes and countless others.
Many of our team have been with the company for over ten years helping to forge our unique culture, focused on creating work that is well crafted in a relaxed and positive work environment. What helps to make us successful, is that we're doing exactly what we're good at.
This attitude is well represented in a campaign which we produced for Wellington Zoo, which showcases a giraffe up a tree. It’s such a ridiculous and silly idea, which we loved. Perhaps in a weird way it hints at our future as it begs to be animated. Very soon, that giraffe will have to climb.
