Cutouts

My ongoing quest do make game assets out of objects in my life and work continues.

I made a 3d asset of the paper out of which I cut out a 3D asset of a real thing that I faked and printed on that paper. Like the 2nd paper, the real paper.

You know?

Trestles

support stands / trestles.

part of my ongoing series “studio assets”, a collection of 3d assets of objects found in artist’s studios.

I freaking love them. I assume that a lot of people can relate. Where would we be without them? I used (at least two of) them almost daily and they are one of my favourite studio assets – that’s why I made a better model of them and want to feature them more in my work.

These trestles here are modeled after the ones I’ve had for many years. I gave a lot of them wooden support links to make them even more stable.

Cute looking art crate

Maybe this is what Princess Peach’s Art handling service would use.

If anyone has ideas for other “themed crates”, I’m open to do something together : )

Cableporn

This is a series I am working on. The working title is “cableporn”. Some excerpts that came to mind:


“I discovered that if one looks a little closer at this beautiful world, there are always red ants underneath.” (David Lynch, quote)

Minimalist design encourages us to forget everything that a product relies on and in this example, that the internet consists of carefully shaped glass and steel alone. (Kyle Chayka, The Longing for Less, p.38)


The Firestick

The Firestick

3D Model

We kept losing lighters at our studio , so I decided to make the firestick.

I rebuilt it as a game asset, maybe someday it will find its way into digital spaces.
