Quirky animations, raw graphics and overall fuzzy fun. This is the base of Interspectacular as they continue to create inspiring work and ignore the trendy followers. Be sure to watch some of the 3 Headed Monster clips to help you feel like a kid again.

We tried it out and created the photo gallery above with photos from our attendance at the Future of Web Design conference in New York last November.
