It's time! Thanks to dumb luck, I am moving myself to a much fancier home on the internet.

All you need to do is hit refresh and you should be in the right place.

Sorry to leave Typepad, but their gallery options for artsy stuff is lacking unless I choose to pay more and learn custom CSS and all that jazz.
Join me in my new home! There might even be punch and pie!
Fastest Illustration Friday drawing ever. "Renewal" is the topic this week, which is fitting being the new year and all. I definitely feel renewed after a nice long bath. The only thing missing are some candles and maybe a little Enya lofting through the airwaves. You know you like Enya.
What a year, huh? 2009 was a year of extremes for me and those close to me. I appreciated the highs, but wow, talk about lows. I am forever thankful for the good times this year. I know a lot of people are very eager to put the old year behind them, hence my idea for this drawing.
So, <raises glass> I wish you a very healthy and happy 2010. Weren't we supposed to have flying cars by now? Damn.
By chance, I saw this Gamasutra article about the ten best independent games of 2009. That lead me to this little game by a Czech design studio.
Machinarium is about a little robot that has been kicked out of his robot city. The game itself is a simple point-and-click adventure game that has a good number of puzzles to bend your brain. What sets this game apart is how absolutely gorgeous it is. The characters are charming, the music and sound effects provide a great atmosphere and the artwork is something else. I can only imagine the time that went into rendering out each little part of the city. Every time I get to a new part of the game I have to stop and take in the artwork.
The game is currently on sale until Christmas for a mere ten bucks. It runs on Mac, Linux, PC and it comes with another game, some artwork and the soundtrack to both games. I am listening to the soundtrack right now as I write this.
Ten dollars well spent, I say, well spent!
Update: Here is an excellent trailer for the game that I just found while reading an interview about the studio.
I went to a burlesque show not so long ago and I saw a beloved icon from my childhood. This take on Darth haunted me at first glance. I close my eyes and I still see it. So, I decided to draw it. Click on the image for larger version, if you dare.
