Announcing a great new collective in Melbourne, Australia –
Robots For Breakfast are made up from ‘Touch My Pixel’, ‘Renmotion’, ‘Dirty Puppet’ and ‘Something Splendid’. Between them they cover pretty much every aspect of the creative fields from full motion work to print and photography.
They are a young bunch, full of love and great ideas, and
F/F are happy to be their friends.
