Artistically Speaking: Suicide Squad (Kill The Justice League)

So, I may have missed a day unfortunately and even a post last week, but this week, I’ll make up for it! This choice was a bit of an odd one though, as it’s only a trailer that BARELY any news as of recently.

Monday Media Minute: Balan’s Wonderworld (2021)

One game that I’ve been keeping in the back of my mind since I first saw it would definitely have to be Balan’s Wonderworld. I’m unaccustomed to this game’s gameplay and story, but it’s art style, music, and premise are all too familiar. This game has carried a nostalgic taste in my mouth since IContinue reading “Monday Media Minute: Balan’s Wonderworld (2021)”

Artistically Speaking: De Blob

Hey, so today I wanna talk about a video game that has been a part of my life since childhood and apparently everyone else’s too! Coming out originally in 2008, De blob is a platformer that has a small irregularly shaped blob (hence the name) that has the power to color the world that heContinue reading “Artistically Speaking: De Blob”

Photography From a Different Perspective

Taking pictures in games has become essentially just as important to me as actual photographs. They still carry that same feel of capturing a moment in time where you stopped to appreciate where you were. I wondered how serious other people took this medium of photography (if we can even call it that) and I’mContinue reading “Photography From a Different Perspective”

Names in Numbers

Nick Cave, a black artist who tackles the social injustices of racism with the power of art, creates an intricate piece of work from 7,000 name tags that spells out the well known phrase “Love Thy Neighbor”.
