Who we are...
The best thing is: we are graphic chameleons. 9Volt is reliable and cutting edge. We read minds for a living. We're independent thinkers, but with highly collaborative minds that likes to bounce off ideas WITH you. We can be trendy and edgy, or classic and elegant. We at 9Volt have been around since 1998, kicking branding ass and making our clients look like geniuses. Check out the "Roots" and "Clients" sections for more background on us. In the store section, you'll find we currently house a fine art business (stencil graffiti street art), under the name RELLIK (i.e. killer backwards). You can buy on demand apparel, and cool gallery art from our store for your club, cafe, biz or home. We are huge music fans, and part-time lobster lovers that wouldn't mind working full-time for you (if it meant more lobster). So if you want reliable brilliant concepts, finished art, and great ideas from a groovy freelance art director - click around and find the many styles of 9Volt (a.k.a. Roland Hill). Sign our guestbook and even better, dial us up for some fresh ideas today. We will not disappoint...
