Best Kinect hacks

2012-01-31T11:02:00.001Z

I can't wait until Microsoft releases the Kinect for pcs/macs!

Crazy Australian Open final

2012-01-30T21:03:00.003Z

Yesterday I watched the longest Grand Slam final in history between Nadal and Djokovic! It lasted five hours and fifty three minutes and in the end I was happy that Djokovic won. Sometimes I wonder why I ever care but there is something really captivating about tennis and I admire the players' mental and physical strength.

Yoga by equinox parody

2012-01-25T12:02:00.002Z

When I first watched the original video (2nd video) I did think that of course Bryony Smyth is amazing at inversions but the video itself is too sexualised and kind of misses the point of yoga.
I am so thankful that the original video exists because it inspired the parody which is one of the best things I have ever watched about yoga...and it is definitely more honest hahaha.

Softdrink rider

2012-01-24T11:18:00.003Z

I drew this weird animal and then I thought something was missing so then I drew the rider. I enjoy drawing relatively quick illustrations but now I think it is time to move into bigger projects!

Yoga for beginners!

2012-01-23T14:53:00.002Z

I did this poster for Richard who is an amazing yoga teacher and is doing a beginner's course in Worthing. I don't usually make posters/work with text so I found it a bit tricky.

Feature in Omikron magazine

2012-01-20T10:16:00.003Z

My work has been featured in the January issue of Omikron magazine (Cyprus). We did the photo shoot on a very hot August afternoon so my face looks really shiny.

Boonchu Tanti's Ashtanga Illustrations

2012-01-19T07:55:00.005Z

I recently started doing Ashtanga yoga again and I really enjoy it. I love the fact that it is very challenging and the movement is flowing so it feels a bit like a dance.

My friend Elena showed me these illustrations of Boonchu Tanti. What I like is that some of them are based on real people and events. The first one was inspired by this video with Sri K. Pattabhi Jois and the second one features Tim Feldmann (Kino MacGregor's husband) in Durvasana thinking about Kino adjusting him into the pose:)

Microsoft's Kinect

2012-01-18T13:04:00.002Z

Have you seen Microsoft's Kinect? I saw it in a multimedia store the other day and was really impressed. Moving things with your body rather than just a mouse makes you feel really nice. Learn more about Kinect and its incredible uses here.

Higg's Theory

2011-10-31T08:46:00.004Z

I made this drawing for a proposal I'm working on for an exciting artist's residency at CERN labs in Switzerland. It is based on the theory of Peter Higg's which is still not proven and for this reason is called 'the missing Higg's particle.

According to Higg's just after the Big Bang particles had no mass at all until they cooled down and came in contact with the Higg's Field which made them heavier and gave them mass.

Beautiful photo

2011-10-30T22:17:00.001Z

My friend Elena sent me this photo and I love everything about it.

2011-10-03T18:40:00.002+01:00

Soyoung Hyun

2011-08-11T22:06:00.002+01:00

I saw one of her animations at the RCA show last June and was captivated by it. Usually there is so much to see there and I tend to ignore a lot of work because it's a bit overwhelming to take in so many things in a day. There is something really nice about her work though!

Guangdong acrobatic troupe of China

2011-08-08T17:28:00.002+01:00

When I first saw this photo in a guide I thought it was definitely photoshopped. Turns out the dancers/acrobats of the Guangdong company can actually perform these crazy poses. Learn more about their future performances here.

Raissa's Svoura!

2011-07-19T10:10:00.005+01:00

Check out this spectacular sculpture by my friend Raissa. It is a huge spinning top trapped in a box unable to move. If you see into the hole in the box you can see the inside of the spinning top which, because of the way it is painted gives the impression that it is actually moving. Beautiful beautiful!!!

As a child Raissa wanted to grow up and become a builder. Even though she didn't quite manage to fulfil her wish, at least she can still move around huge pieces of material by building big big sculptures.

Computer Arts Feature

Free time..!

2011-05-18T20:59:00.000+01:00

I had some free time in London the other day so I went to the Natural History Museum. I've never seen dinosaur skeletons before so it was kind of a big deal! So glad I was not alive when dinosaurs were around.

Positive thinking

2011-05-15T22:28:00.000+01:00

I made this drawing for a friend. I just can't decide which one I like the most. At the moment I think I prefer the second one without the shading. I might make more and turn them into cards and eventually sell them online at some point.

Mandalas

2011-03-16T07:57:00.000Z

When I don't know what else to draw I just look at some mandalas. Mandalas are used in Buddhism and Hinduism and usually describe the structure of the cosmos. What fascinates me about them is that they encompass so much information.

Pretty images

2011-03-11T18:32:00.000Z

I have been trying to get some inspiration to illustrate a book cover for a competition. Initially I wanted to make something really busy but it just didn't look right so I had to start again twice...I think now after simplifying my idea I am on the right path. Maybe when I have more time for a piece I will create something as intricate as these pretty images.

Flipping

2011-02-23T20:48:00.000Z

I was talking with somebody at the gym who started gymnastics at the age of 37 which I think is incredibly brave. He told me that tucking makes you flip but I never thought of that.
