What Minecraft Taught me About Death

November 11, 2010

If you visit gaming sites, you probably came across this before: Minecraft is awesome! It’s perfect to my taste: Very free – basically no borders.

And I think it fits “games” just more when they have no single storyline, but allow each … Continue reading What Minecraft Taught me About Death →

Juste Premixed

November 8, 2010

When a model got sick Juste was so nice to come over from Utrecht to save the day. It’s great to have friends like that – thanks a lot! And here is another shot of a palette. I started doing these for showing them here – for example how I mix before painting – and … Continue reading Juste Premixed →

Peter on Expensive Paper

October 16, 2010

On this water color I changed the hair a lot after the model session. I waste a lot of money when buying materials. Its just an personal obsession – I can’t stop myself from always getting the most expensive option there is. In retrospect it payed off though (at least in that case) – erasing … Continue reading Peter on Expensive Paper →
