The Entoforms have progressed heaps. I showed them as the “featured artist” at the Affordable Art Fair in Amsterdam last October. And the website has had a complete redo.

I also started a project called the Shapewright. It is a website where you can create custom/unique objects to have 3D printed (or download to print your own). I took part in the Mozilla Festival last October showing people some of what makes it work, and making some stuff with them on the spot.

Another new project I started is the Blender Icons art book. It will be a book with the best works made in Blender 3D. So far over 80 images have been submitted by over 60 registrars. It’s going great and I hope we can publish it some time this year.

You can now also purchase a few of my patterns on Spoonflower.
And I opened an Etsy shop offering some special items!

My work was mentioned in 2 talks at the Blender Conference. One about art history, and one by Shigeto Maeda! I also had the honour to meet Shige in person and we exchanged art pieces (I’m so thankful).

Last but not least I moved back to The Hague. It’s a much friendlier city than Amsterdam (only 45min by train), and I already feel completely at home here in our cosy apartment.

All in all it has been a hectic time, with more on the way. I’ll try to keep you all informed!

I generated space ships based on the nicknames of all Blender 3D coders.

The code is based on the entoforms scripts… which you can find here: http://www.entoforms.com

This is an experimental visualisation of all temperature readings between 1800 and 2009,

It uses the HadCRUT3 subset January 2010 release from: http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/research/climate/climate-monitoring/land-and-atmo…

The music can be downloaded for free from: http://www.ichiigai.net/release/spielgelbild

The animation was generated using Python in Blender 3D (all free software). Each spike stands for a location where temperatures were recorded. The length and colour reflect the temperature.

Campaigning is really very much an emotional roller-coaster. I’ve already had quite some failures and successes. I’m not sure what exactly I’ll do these last two weeks… but I’m doing everything I can to make the campaign succeed. If you can help in any way… please do, or if you have a brilliant idea… please share… feel free to e-mail me: <enable javascript to view e-mail addresses>
