Gaming Should Stay Real

February 24, 2010

Hm, so this is my first post about games. A friend advised me not to mix too many topics here, but I think all these things interconnect. There is some advantage in bringing them together. Having some bigger plan there :) so I’ll keep at it. Below you see a talk by Jesse Schell, first … Continue reading Gaming Should Stay Real →

Work in Progress Anna2

February 16, 2010

Here is another work in progress picture. It shows my progress a little bit. I work quite different than other people in the studio I paint at: I usually do the background first. It allows me to see a preview early about how the art will turn out. Details are easy to change – but … Continue reading Work in Progress Anna2 →

Yay for Snow in Amsterdam!

January 13, 2010

As promised yesterday – and with a nod to Jacob Maris. :D Was really cold but worth the pain. Lets hope the snow stays longer (or new fluff joins in), so that I can make at least one more.

The Values of Jacob Maris

January 12, 2010

Jacob Henricus Maris (1837 – 1899) is a Dutch artist I found in a gallery in Assen (little town in Holland). This particular image I find amazing. The day I discovered it, I’ve put it on my desktop. After that I went to sleep – and I dreamed I am there. I was in a … Continue reading The Values of Jacob Maris →

Mezzo Concept Sketchgroup Drawing

December 16, 2009

Digging out a scan of a drawing from a sketchgroup we had in Utrecht some months, since Nadia posted a painting on her blog. This is a collab of Nadia, Wanja and if I remember correctly also Stephan aka Duq. We certainly wanna do more meetings – if you’re around the area here, and are … Continue reading Mezzo Concept Sketchgroup Drawing →
