The Third & The Seventh

January 16th, 2010

Enjoy this superbly made, beautiful full-CG animated piece that tries to illustrate architecture art across a photographic point of view where main subjects are already-built spaces. Sometimes in an abstract way. Sometimes surreal. View it in fullscreen! Video by Alex Roman

Happy New Year and all that shit

January 3rd, 2010

New Year, new challenges, new games! I would like to share with you what online computer game I am especially looking forward to play this year: Starcraft 2! As for all their products, Blizzard is releasing them whenever they feel the game is perfect, but I got the impression the release date is already overdue. This is a real-time online strategy game playing in the universe between humans and different types of aliens. In multiplayer modus you will be competing with other people online, there will be online rankings and the best players will even win prize money in tournaments. Check out the website starcraft2.com for the brilliant cinematic trailers and have a look at the really cool artworks. Can’t wait to play it!

Awesome new year, happy playing and keep rockin!

Short break in the mountains

August 15th, 2009

After months of hard working I granted myself a well deserved holiday in my hometown in Italy. I will post some more pictures and even a movie shortly. In the pictures below you can see me well protected from the burning sun right next to the famous Tre Cime di Lavaredo, probably the most famous mountains in the Alps. What are the Tre Cime?

Serious play

February 15th, 2009

A really good TED talk from Paula Scher (she’s done album covers, books, the Citibank logo …) discovered on the website of the highly inpsiring guys from boagworld.com. She asks herself, where the line is between being serious about your creativity and allowing it to become too solemn. Her message: innovate, risk, play, be arrogant, be ignorant, fail, be a fool, be serious … thats how you growth and thats all that matters!
