Blue Chippers, a new content series focusing on students who have caught our attention.

As we round the week, let’s take a moment to recognize the guy who’s created over 80 visual pieces of content and composed some amazing animations you’ll see soon. We’re talking of course about the gentleman  scholar, Taylor Read from the Savannah College of Art and Design. Having lived a spell in England, Taylor brings the funny and absurd as much as he delivers visual sweetness.
