I’m very excited to announce that SageRock.com has moved. We have moved into a large, industrial loft. It’s a space that lends itself quite nicely to all of our artistic natures. It is still very raw and open right now, but I thought I’d put up some pictures so you can get the idea. You can check them out here:
