Animation Director Hans Schultheiss hooked up with Parasol Island.


Another surprise, we are happy to welcome Hans Schultheiss (former Sehsucht) on our island. The young animation director and creative joined Parasol Island fulltime et non-stop. Hans is looking back on a successful history as an award-winning motion designer, animation director and illustrator. His aesthetics are truly “holy shit” and his cinematic skills a valuable co-pilot when approaching animation like a classic film maker.

So may we introduce to you, the act you’ve known for all these years,
Sir Hans Schultheiss.

17y Old Designer Mago Joined Parasol Island Fulltime. Fullstop.


Halftime celebrity Magomed Dovjenko is the new kid on the block. He joined our creative team only a month ago – his work combines illustration, graphics and typography with a style that is best described as totally awesome.

Jay-Z browses his work, Nike hired him, FormFiftyFive interviewed him, Stefan Raab had him on TV, and we put him under arrest full-time and at your service. Don’t believe the hype. Trust us.

Welcome onboard Mago.

Not everything in life is for free

Give it up for Mirko Kaminski


Mirko Kaminski is really fed up: The head of the agency Achtung has rejected an invitation to pitch for free in public. On YouTube he criticises the “dear company X” and its crude selection practices.

Lifetime X Salazar

The Road Trip



Lifetime and Salazar traveled over 3000 miles via van, boat, and foot across the American wilderness. This is the first in a two part video to celebrate Lifetime Collective’s Spring/Summer 2012 collection. Directed by Salazar with music provided by Thee Oh Sees. We think the video does a great job capturing the joys of summer. Beautiful!

ENJOY!
