MonkWerks is a Flash-based social word-game released on Facebook (and subsequently on iPhone) by Monkey Gods, the latest venture created by the founders of Naughty Dog and Flektor, and apparently yet another one I’m involved with.
The lost slideshows
As I mentioned in a previous post, one of the last things we did at Flektor before the company’s abrupt closure was a set of really cool slideshows (and accompanying backend-technology) for MySpace.
Flektor nostalgia
Well, if you’re a frequent flyer here you probably know that until recently I had been working at Flektor (a startup created by the founders of Naughty Dog) making pretty cutting-edge Flash-based online mashup/video-editing technology and widgets. The company was acquired by Fox Interactive Media in 2007, made a part of Myspace in 2008 and […]
MyDebates.org launched
We at Flektor just launched MyDebates.Com, the official online outlet of the 2008 presidential debates, courtesy of MySpace and the Commission on Presidential Debates. I’m very proud to have been involved with this project, as it is sort of a historical milestone in the online presence of politics, as well as in the magnitude of […]
Rounded corners using nothing but CSS
Recently I was working on iPhone-specific web-based login pages, and for the sake of consistency I wanted to mimic the rounded-corner look of the iPhone interface. I looked around for solutions, but everything I could find either used images, Javascript or both, which seemed like serious overkill for this purpose.
Archive Gallery
This eclectic collection contains older personal work, finished images as well as sketches, speed-paintings, doodles, or simply stuff that doesn’t fit anywhere else.
Vintage Pixel Gallery
If you get all nostalgic from classic “vintage” computer art, this gallery is for you. 320 x 200 pixels. 256 colors or less. Done with a mouse (no fancy tablets). Everything created pixel by pixel, and all images presented in PNG format to preserve the signature hand-pixeled look.
Photography
I have these unpredictable, periodic bursts of interest in photography.I’m particularly fond of strange and minimalist aesthetics, but of it doesn’t stop there – if it’s colorful and interesting, I’m in. 🙂This is a (very limited) selection of photos I captured over the years. A collection of abstract, surreal, industrial, and minimalist stuff Travel and scenery […]
Korn video
Back in 2004, kind of out of the blue I got the awesome opportunity to work on the video-clip for “Everything I’ve known” by Korn.
Jak X Combat Racing
The switch from the relatively smallish platformer environments of Jak3 to absolutely humongous online-enabled racetrack-levels had its own set of unique challenges, but it all turned out to be very fun and rewarding at the end. I built and designed most of the look of several levels including Kras City, which could be considered the main hub of the game: the awesome intro takes place here, and it makes an appearance even on the box.
Jak 3
In a nutshell: Jak3 rules! Well seriously, to work with all those talented people on something which I firmly believe to be one of the greatest videogames ever (yep, EVER) made on any platform had been quite stimulating, to say the least.
