Han Hoogerbrugge

Love Han Hoogerbrugge’s work. I saw an interview today with him in it, and was surprised to find that the main character in his work is Hoogerbrugge himself.
Anyway here are a few video clips of his animations that you can check out…

Welcome!

A bunch of us decided that it would be a great idea to invite the current ADoM students to share our blog. … so welcome 1st & 2nd years! The more the merrier. If you want to have some input on what appears on the page, or post stuff… email me s_barbic@hotmail.com for a blogger invite.

I know this has nothing to do with art or anything but..
Just wanna say I saw, The Mars Volta on Saturday night and they were Freaking AWESOME!! Got a mad t-shirt and shook Cedric's hand(the singer) as he crowd surfed.
I recommend this band to anyone check out their myspace for a listen.. themarsvolta

Mark Fennell's flash games

For all those that couldn’t play the “Gesundheit!” game that I posted earlier this week, here are some flash games that are both PC and Mac friendly. All the games have been created by Mark Fennell (who moved from the UK to Sydney and is working at “The white agency”). Never heard of “the white agency” but I’ll add it to the list of Australian Studios on the side of the blog.
Oh and his latest game is Foosball… use the left and right arrows to move your players.

Gesundheit!

Help an allergic pig save a city from snot-eating monsters! Featuring handmade scratchboard graphics and a toy instrument soundtrack, the demo contains twelve levels and a tutorial to teach you how to sneeze.
Created by Matt Hammil.

This is a really cool game that I came across. Great hand drawn style that makes it different from a lot of other games… and I love the way the pig skips around (very cute). So far I’ve made it to level 5… it’s a lot harder when there are 2 monsters (If anyone can get past this level let me know how you did it!).

Download here.
(Unfortunately you can only play it on a PC)
