Angelbert's Imagination Studios, LLC (A.I.S.) is a content creation company, which produces original, limited edition fashion, handmade products, books, films, concepts, and events based on the iconic and archetypical imagery found in the artworks of artist, Angelbert Metoyer. A.I.S., is not limited simply to Angelbert's work in the visual sense; A.I.S. is simultaneously a moment and a movement.
With over 15 years experience in the fields of content creation, illustration and creative consultation, and a desire to push the envelope of creative and collaborative processes, Angelbert Metoyer founded A.I.S. in 2002. His intention was to expand his brand into other creative markets.
As a catalyst for this eventuality, AIS 3D was created. Set in Houston's Texas historical Third Ward within the Project Row Houses Campus, AIS 3D exists as a multi-use, creative incubator serving as a point of birth, development and synthesis for projects and collaborations.
Angelbert has chosen to work in a way that allows the viewer to reflect, investigate and discover. This philosophy is embedded into the core of the A.I.S. brand and has allowed for many successful collaborations and ventures in years past. The Houston, Texas based company has participated in projects with organizations worldwide, including Brazil, China, Germany, Holland, France, and several states within the United States. Angelbert led creative stage direction for musicians Saul Williams and Joseph Arthur during the Niggy Tardust! tour. Angelbert was hired for the tour and created the environment for their performance, as well as contributing artwork for the album cover to, "The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of NiggyTardust!"
In the realm of fashion, Angelbert collaborated with New York based fashion designers. He has also designed logos and marketing materials for Mexican-based tequila company, Tres Leones and Brazil-based cigar company, Pablo Calico.
A.I.S. also serves as publishing and ongoing archive distributor of images and works created by Angelbert, which are available for license. We have independently published and distributed 11 books and three films to date. In 2010, the third book, I~Aoi, was released selling over 9,000 copies. Our books are available for sale via www.angelbertmetoyer.com and through many prestigious galleries and museums in the United States including the Museum of Fine Arts-Houston.
The iconic and unique imagery created by artist Angelbert Metoyer is also available for license. Licensing has proven to be a successful venture, as it has allowed for his work, and accompanying philosophy, to reach people who would otherwise not have access to it.
With our Third Ward office and fifth Ward satellite space, we aim to extend our reach into further creative ventures and collaborations.
