Peter Gric Paintings
February 8, 2005Read more
Stumbled across this beautiful gallery website for painter Peter Gric. I’m not familiar with his work or history, but I liked what I saw…fantastical, architectural, and filled with light.
The website I like also. It’s very clean without being sterile. A lot of painter sites suffer from yucky typography, horrible use of space, or flash interface overcleverness. This site doesn’t have that problem, instead making good use of structural elements that enhance the paintings without overshadowing them. Nice.

Academics
February 6, 2005Read moreI’ve started following the Zen of Design blog, which strikes me as an intelligent repository of commentary on the world of game design and development. What I like about it and other developer-driven blogs is that there’s a purpose to the writing: making progress toward better game development and game experiences.
On the surface, this kind of writing is similar to the kind of inquiry you see in serious academic study (think “film studies”). Though I’m all for serious acadmic study, I’m sometimes frustrated with their encroachment game design. They still somehow miss the point…they’re not necessarily creators, and they may even get in the way.
