Our 10th anniversary present...

Powerhouse Animation Studios turned 10 years old last Friday. That's right, the company was started on April Fool's Day. To celebrate this momentous occasion, we got ourselves something we have always wanted: a sign from Austin's own, Blue Genie Art.

Blue Genie is known far-and-wide for making great 3d art and signage. If it is a cool sign, and it is in Austin, you can be pretty sure that Blue Genie made it. We felt it was about time for us to join the club of proud Austin businesses with Blue Genie signs.

Here it is in all of its gear-turning, lit-up glory:

It might be hard to hear in this video, but when you pull the chain the whistle plays, as Doug Beck demonstrates:

We had some cake and champagne to celebrate.

We are having a party this weekend, more videos and pictures to come soon! Happy Anniversary Powerhouse!
