Wallpaper: Rouge a Levres (revisited)

Long time this was created in 3D and posted in my deviantART gallery; a few people in the past asked to have a wallpaper for this, so here I am.

While working on a new iPhone Application (it’s called Say I Love You, you’re already loving it, right?) I had the idea to rearrange and revisit this render.

Papertoys from Cubeecraft.com: Linux repack by ./lsd

I have to admit I’m fond of papertoys!
It’s a modern time west end origami, full of colors and glue.
While browsing the net I’ve been downloading several types from cubecraft.com, which has a great collection of different characters (especially Evangelion and Angels).

Website: Music Project almost ready

I’ve been quite busy these times, too much work and too many things to do; but the Music Project is always on my mind, and I’ve tried to develop a decent theme with Artisteer (will review it later).
I’ve tried to change the platform, switching from WordPress to Joomla; I’m not sure I’m gonna keep that support but it’s interesting for the simplified login method that I feel is more “secure” than WP one’s; this is a general layout, for sure I’ll have to redraw by myself.
What about?

Illustrations / OOAK

english italian 

Simple images can represent infinte worlds, tweak your imagination and fool your mind. This is my own conception of illustrations, with a single pencil line you can bring fantasy alive and turn your dreams into something real.
I feel lucky I had the opportunity to put some illustrations into some known papers and draw some paper campaigns for different purposes.
There were some nice projects I got involved with, both paper and web; really a challenge for my skills.
Put aside my renders and focused into 2 dimensions style; mainly the use of …

Japanese Fine Arts

english italian 

Got a strange kind of fascination for Japan and its culture, its fine arts, its colors, its perfumes and scients. When happens to me to surf into a Japan-whatever site, those who offers your name wrote in Kanji or Hiragana or Katakana, I’m quite interested; learnt a bit of Kanji calligraphy on my own just because I felt there are not enough things to be written.
I mean: have you ever wanted your name in Kanji and tried out thousands of website which were offering you that service at a high …

Life in plastic: 3D world

english italian 

I was working as a systemist, fullfilled my brain with logs of Cisco machines while people were asking impossible things. My chief was ambitious and had the idea to build up an interactive shopping mall; the leading woman was a 3D render brunette named Hanna.
My job was to build the infrastructure with wrappers and includes so to let the designer all the needed space to insert the girl.. I was a bit tired of all that but the man in front of my desk was everyday happy: he was creating …

Exposure – State of the Art

english italian 

The state of the art is the highest level of development, as of a device, technique, or scientific field, achieved at a particular time. It also applies to the level of development (as of a device, procedure, process, technique, or science) reached at any particular time usually as a result of modern methods.

Art is a difficult word, many people try to label Art giving so many different meanings: a well done poster is Art, Picasso is Art, Modigliani is Art, cubism is Art, comix are Art, fashion is Art, poetry …
