Defender of the Chip: 2Player Productions
Perhaps the toughest hurdles our scene faces is that of promotion and of documentation. 2pp does both with style, dedication to details and overall high quality. In the years to come, artists may come and go, but the stunning visual documents they have helped produced should stand the test of time and do more to help engender crossover succes of our artists than any perhaps any other single group. -
