US, YESTERDAY.

Rather obviously named, The Ladds are husband and wife art directors——and art makers——Dave and Stephanie Ladd. Together we share a home, a studio, two children (also Ladds), and a sense of humor.

We specialize in hand crafting props, paper sculptures and illustrations for publishing and advertising. We occasionally direct live-action, dabble in stop-motion, do nowhere near enough typography and——far too long ago——illustrated a pretty cool children’s book.

If you’d like to ask us anything, or have a project that needs discussing, drop us a line——or contact our radical reps at Jacky Winter.
