Motorbike Saftey

Most Crab - a - noughts travel to work on scooters, push bikes or motorbikes and it is pretty scary out there. Since public transport is next to useless and having to use a car costs the earth in more ways than one. We were glad to see some real innovation in bike protection

check this vid out!

Koko Models - In aid of Unicef

Koko supplied models for the Unicef charity event, held at Aura the event promoted Spoylt Lingerie in a champagne fashion event.

Jaala and Laura taking advantage of the champers - girls it's a charity event.




Koko models are sooo talented they can pose and drink at the same time



Now now girls lets not be catty




Laura - "Jaala you know green is not your colour"

Jaala - "Hun red is not yours"

The models' model

We polled the models both male and female at Koko to find out which celebs they reckon could be a Koko Model. We thought they would be silly about it but actually their suggestion were pretty cool. We asked the guys to select the guy celebs and the girls to select the girl celebs and this is the top 5!

Great Idea - Money Art

Found on a Russian blog

Augmented Reality

Something we have been playing with for a while Augmented Reality allows the user to create in camera effects from simple printouts. We are in he process of putting on the first ever exhibition at Crab using nothing but Augmented Reality images. The image below is graffiti artist known as DAIM painting in real time.

Lippi Selk Sleeping Bag

The Lippi Selk Sleeping Bag - perfect for that long weekend of surfing, blogging and updating your facebook myspace and flikr accounts. Every team member at Crab Creative has one for those long sessions at the studio working late. Ok ok so we use them when were playing marathon sessions of Halo.


Final round knock out

It seems that HD-DVD is almost dead. With only a couple of studios left in the HD camp and all the rest happily sitting in the Blue Ray village and now Microsoft looking to develop a Blue Ray module for the Xbox 360 it really does look like the begining of the end. I am happy to say the better format won - Live long Blue Ray and may your little blue diode burn brightly in Crab's Playstation 3...but please do not get upset when now and then we fire up Halo 3 and bid a yeeehayy to Master Chief!!!

Life Begins at Fifty: Happy Birthday to LEGO

From their Duplo range to the amazing Mindstorms everyone at Crab is in love with the little brick. Stand up and say it loud and proud we love Lego!

Help for us geeks

If you are unsure which buttons work perhaps these will help. Yes that is correct your eyes are indeed working those are 100% Nintendo Controller Panties.


This weeks buzz word is....

Here at Crab central we do love the odd buzz / killer phrase / TLA or FLA. Digital this digital that convergence, multi touch apps multi touch screens heck even multi touch phones (ok I have an iPhone it is great and I am sad ok Andy, Simon et al I admit it!). My point is on few occasions the device, application or next big thing rarely lives up to expectation however one Mr Jeff Han does and his multi-touch system is just brilliant. He has been at it for a few years now and in our opinion it is by far the best and most complete system out there.

It's Joost Time

Forget carrying around DVD's, drives full of films or place shifting all you need is joost!


Some more behinds the scenes at Koko - this time at Jaala's B/Day

Yes it is our very own Jaala Pickering's birthday she is another year older and we helped her celebrate in true Koko Models style with plenty of food, drink and music.

The 3 images below are the only ones we could publish...oh the shame the shame. We have sent all the staff to finishing school so perhaps their manners and behavior will improve.





KOKO Models - Behind the scenes

It's not all sex, drugs and rock and roll here at Koko Models sometimes we actually do get some work done. In the following shots you can see our models on a shoot for ads and brochure work.
