Laughing Squid Celebrates 18th Anniversary

Laughing Squid

This week Laughing Squid celebrates its 18th Anniversary.

It’s been a really amazing journey that started back in 1995 when 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 is history…

I would like to give a big thanks to our family, friends, Laughing Squid blog readers and blog team and our Laughing Squid Web Hosting customers and web hosting team. None of this would have been possible without you.

Here’s some history on our the origins of our name and company logo.
