We like Christopher Conte’s left brain leanings and right brain tendencies. His work fashioning prosthetic limbs coupled with his Pratt art degree, interest in biomechanics, and knack for sculpture combine for a singularly unique talent.

Opting to market his unique works publicly for the first time, Conte joined a select group of artists represented by agent Les Barany in 2007.

A Respite

Conte slows the maelstrom of crowd sourcing and social network concerns facing today’s brand agents to a painstaking, hand-crafted pace similar to that of Persephone Books, previously featured on .think.

Both demonstrate that despite all the measurement and marketing data available on customer wants and needs, inspired ideas, services and products always rule the day.
