Tony Washington
Co-Founder / Graphics / Music
At the age of 18 after completing high school he joined the summer program at
Cal Arts…but the institution couldn't hold Tony for long; he already had a vision for his
life's work. Tony showed his impressive portfolio around the San Diego Comic-Con in
1995 and was immediately hired by Image Comics, a collective with a Marvel Comics
pedigree, where Tony had his first encounter with digital art. After 3 years with Image,
Tony joined a San Diego company called Midway, and spent 2 1/2 years creating
video games.
For over the past 15 years, Tony has successfully freelanced in multiple worlds: for
comic books, films, and conceptual art. His color, lighting and concept art for such film
projects as Teenaged Mutant Ninja Turtles has assured Tony's reputation as a fine artist
in the world of animation. He recently completed work on the highest selling World of
Warcraft comic series in Wildstorm/DC comics history earning a spot on the New York
Times best sellers list and the only Hardback book to make that list for WIldstorm's 18
year history. In addition he designed promotional poster concepts for Lady Gaga's
Monsters Ball Tour. He also recently completed concept art for SONY PS3 titles Twisted
Metal 3, Motorstorm Apocalypse and Heroes on the Move. Currently Tony is Art
Directing and is the lead concept artist for a new CG animated film based out of
London titled Legends of the Underground. Finally he is providing concept art for a new
film due out in summer 2012 from Studio Weta of Lord of the Rings fame.
A fresh and powerful force in the San Diego electronic music world, Tony's music
is already expanding beyond those borders, having recently been featured in
Microsoft's first music campaign. Tony also created the soundtrack for DC-Wildstorm
Comics' Comic-Con 2010 product promotion reel, and has been featured multiple
times on IGN podcasts to critical appreciation.
"I have worked very hard all my life to reach a point where I no longer call it 'work.' This
allows me to strive harder to learn more about myself and what I do. As for where I am
now — I love what I'm doing; my work is an extension of who I am in the world."

Von Ware
Co-Founder / Videography
Born in San Antonio Texas, but grew up in San Diego, California, Von Ware
was born into an athletic household. Since family members played for the NFL, it
was only natural for Von to take part in sports. He set out for high school football
and track and field in San Diego. He became the California State Triple Jump
Champion for Track and Field.
Von went on to become a U.S. National Champion in the Triple Jump and
competed for The Olympic National Track & Field team. He is on the World Triple
Jump all time list for one of longest jumps.
Knowing that Track and Field would come to an end, Von became
interested in digital media. With his mind made up that he wanted to learn more
about media—he set out and taught himself editing, graphics and shooting.
Realizing he had a natural talent for motion graphics and film editing, he decided to
take his talent further and pursue a career in post-production.
With an extensive list of U.S. Olympians, he tested his skills with them. Soon,
athletes were well aware of Von, and kept coming back to him for videos and
graphics. With an impressive demo reel, he landed a job with JSN Sports Network in
2004 creating motion graphics for NFL, NBA, NHL, NCAA. At the same time Von started
Sypher Productions, a small production company earning an Emmy Award for Raw
Track and Field. In 2006, Von was Head of Video Production at the Arco Olympic
Training Center in Chula Vista. He just couldn't get away from the Olympic Athletes.
With an extensive sports background Von knew he needed to open his doors
more and branch out of the sports world. He took an editing job at WealthTV—a HD
lifestyle network, where he fine-tuned his editing skills and developed story- telling
techniques.
After leaving WealthTV, Von focused on building his name and Sypher
Productions. Projects he worked on included: Cinematographer for behind the
scenes for Maxim Magazine, Cinematographer behind the scenes for Fashion
Photographer Gail Bowman America's Next Top Model, Visual FX and Title design
for full length feature film The Greater Meaning Of Water, Cinematographer/

"My work is clean, visually stimulating, and timeless. I bring the same dedication
and determination from my pro athlete days to the digital media world."
