Laughing Squid 15th Anniversary

Laughing Squid 15th Anniversary

Today is officially the 15th anniversary of Laughing Squid. On November 16th, 1995 I setup a little film and video production company in San Francisco while working on my documentary about the social surrealist artist Alonso Smith.

The rest, as they say, is history.

Our friend Yiying Lu, the talented Sydney based artist who created the legendary Fail Whale, made this awesome illustration for us in honor of today’s anniversary.
