Work of Art Recap

Will you take a look at this mess? This is all that artist Judith could muster on the last episode of Work of Art on Bravo. Yeah. I’m watching it. Dissecting it. Loving and hating it.

This Week's Waste of Time

Now that everyone is making games, there's a cavalcade of mediocre titles all over the web. In the case of this week's waste of time we have a graphic artist trying his hand at game-making and largely (although not entirely) succeeding.

This Week's Waste of Time

The technical limitations of online games often make for graphics and soundtracks thick with nostalgia. Pixelated characters are not necessarily easier to create these days, but it's a design decision that's light on a computer's processing power.
