Award-winning design studio Blind recently breathed life into lunacy for the chart-topping single “Crazy” from Gnarls Barkley. In collaboration with HSI wunderkind director Robert Hales, Blind delivered a dark, three-minute ride down the rabbit-hole, and into acclaim, heavy rotation on the MTV networks, and even some debate.
