Words that don’t Exist 1: Ghosts and Wolves

April 17, 2010

The first part on some philosophizing about words - and how we take their meaning for too granted...

Yola, final version

April 13, 2010

This is the final version of a work in progress I posted before. Visitors of the exhibition have seen the image already. Although I must admit, since I was in a hurry I accidentally hung it up the wrong way :D Both versions work – but I do like this angle the most.

Art as New Science

April 5, 2010

Recently the Large Hadron Collider has been reaching a new record energy output. The main goal of this huge structure is finding the Higgs boson. Exciting? Hm. The particle is important for high energy physics – without it, the mathematics would be flawed. But we know that the mathematics are highly accurate. The Higgs Boson … Continue reading Art as New Science →

Digital spicing

March 27, 2010

Has been a while that I posted a digital artwork. This one I tweaked recently – it was originally thought for a poster of a game where you can control water. The character design is by Ramon Contini, which you can find (along other cool stuff) on his website.

March 2, 2010

I showed the WIP earlier – here is the finished version. The digital version doesn’t really show that I used gold paint in some patterns, was a lot of fun.

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 →
