What Already Been Chewed does

Already Been Chewed (ABC), legally Already Been Chewed, LLC, is a privately held creative studio founded in 2010 by digital artist Barton Damer and headquartered in Wylie, Texas. The studio specializes in 3D animation, motion graphics, design, and branding services delivered to enterprise clients in luxury, sports, automotive, technology, beverage, and entertainment industries. Its portfolio includes work for Nike, Google, Louis Vuitton, Tiffany & Co., Disney, Marvel, ESPN, the NFL (Baltimore Ravens, Cleveland Browns, NFL Redzone), Lexus, New Balance, The North Face, Celsius, Monster Energy, UFC, Dude Perfect, and Lancome, among others.

The studio's core capability is producing high-end CG-driven visual content used for product launches, brand campaigns, broadcast graphics, and immersive live-event experiences. ABC has developed distinctive technical approaches including a 'naked eye' 3D billboard technique deployed in-stadium (first used by an NFL franchise with the Cleveland Browns) and full broadcast graphics packages used to rebrand sports properties for ESPN's XFL and UFL. The studio operates without a public API or software product; its output is bespoke creative services delivered project-by-project rather than a platform or subscription offering.

ABC operates a pure services business model. Revenue is generated through negotiated, scope-based project fees with no published rate card or recurring subscription component. The go-to-market is direct and founder-led, with inquiries routed to [email protected] and a portfolio-driven inbound channel supported by industry press coverage. The company has not raised institutional funding, maintains no parent company, and has no disclosed subsidiaries, indicating a bootstrapped, founder-owned operating structure across its 11-50-person team.
