Christopher J. Tobias

When Mr. Tobias is not concocting another branding remedy for musicians, he can be found tailoring jackets for books of all stripes. Since 1996 he has been the one-and-only employee of Tobias’ Outerwear for Books. Some of his books have graced the covers of New York Times bestsellers, while other serve humbly to sell even the driest of titles. Nevertheless, he finds great reward in designing for either. His work has been the recipient of much recognition, including being chosen to represent American book cover design at the international We Love Books exhibition in Paris. He is also the founder and editor of Group Thinkery blog.When not busy with the work of design, he heads downstairs to enjoy the company of his wife and children. And to practice the tuba.
Tobias’ Partial Client List: Random House, Harper Collins, Hachette Book Group, Penguin, Oxford University Press, Reader’s Digest Books

Bryan R. Martin

After kissing his wife and two children goodbye each morning, Mr. Martin must journey across the yard to his outhouse-sized studio without stepping on his miniature sheepdog Harry, 2 four legged cats, and one 3 legged cat.  Working for nine years in branding and identity design and the last five designing and directing motion graphics and commercials has prepared him to venture out and create Good Egg Studio. In his first year in business he creative directed and storyboarded 2 Telly award winning spots in 2009 and concepted/illustrated the Webby award-winning site “Happy in Greenville” (of the South Carolina sort).  Branded a Movieholic Audiophile (Arvo Part, Phillip Glass, John Brion, Harry Nilsson, Ennio Morricone, Randy Newman, Andrew Bird), he spends the quiet moments visualizing his life as a street magician.
