COAT OF SMILES, parody art of iconic symbols. A duck's hat, a mouse's ears and a smiling yellow button. Three iconic things brought together in one artwork.

Ars Electronica Orb Ship

We're off to the Ars Electronica Center for lectures and others in the scope of the NextComic Festival. If you're in the Linz area (Upper Austria) you might want to stop by... Achdé ("Lucky Luke") is with us, too!

Ars Electronica Center: Fish Tank Mangarium

I'm looking forward to March 4th 2011 at the Ars Electronica Center where my buddy Achdé (Lucky Luke) and I will drop our designs into an animated digital fish tank.


And these here were the earlier sketches, I already posted them some weeks ago. The big one with the duck was btw my favorite but he was technically too difficult to do:

Fish Tank

This March, I'll return to the Ars Electronica Center. Here are some rough prevs of something in connection with our talks and workshops there. I will tell you more about it a little later...

Happy New Year's Day, everybody! And sorry for the lack of responses to comments, lately! I've been busy (and still be) with HOLIDAYS! :)


UPDATE: Don't miss out on Jake's grand Missile Mouse Giveaway!

AEC Exhibition; The Art Center

Sorry for the lack of replies on comments recently! I appreciate every single comment made here. I'm truly busy with recent and upcoming things...



Update (Tuesday, March 2, 2010): This is (above) my current The Art Center contribution. Inspired by a pre-Columbian sculpture (thanks to Andrea for giving me that fact) portraying an Orca i.e. Killer Whale.

Btw, Randall Sly just wrote in that within the first couple of days we had over 16,000 visitors... that's not bad, isn't it?

Currently, my ducks and bird-like critters are exhibited at one of the coolest places I've ever been: The Ars Electronica Center.


Ars Electronica stands for the world’s leading media arts festival, a superlative state-of-the-art museum, and an innovative R&D facility. The Prix Ars Electronica is often called the Oscar of computer art. As the world’s premier cyberarts competition, the Prix Ars Electronica has been a forum for artistic creativity and innovation since 1987. [Wikipedia]

Ars Electronica Centre; Paperwalker TV: Episode 4; Cruickshank's Philip & The Stove


Update: Check out what Matt Cruickshank is cooking over at his subsidiary blog "Philip & The Stove". There looms something great... (Image © Matt Cruickshank. World rights reserved.)

From February 25th - 27th 2010 I will giving workshops and presentations designed for theoretical and practical aspects of character design (according to custom, together with the brilliant Maryam Laura Moazedi) at the Ars Electronica Centre in Linz. Besides that, the centre will host an exhibition of my works from February 25th - March 20th 2010.


Btw, this drawing is done 100% electronically in order to meet the standard of this very location ;-) Additionally, I recorded the rough sketching process of this piece. It's a rather short clip again, I hope you'll like it.

Concerning the colour palette: I picked the colours for my motor critter from the title sujet or rather the videowall screensaver of last year's Ars Electronica Festival:
