PhotoEd Magazine - 3D special

Yesterday I've bought the winter 2007 issue (#21) of the Toronto based magazine PhotoEd. A full magazine of 3D topics. And the best of it: It explains very simple what 3D / Stereo-Photography is and gives a easy to understand introduction and overview in the most 3D topics. The mag comes with anaglyph cardboard glasses. You can buy it in canadian bookstores or at their website: http://www.photoed.ca/

Ilene Sova - Canadian Artist # 002

The other artist I've met was Ilene Sova http://www.ilenesova.ca/. One of the best things in art I have seen in the last time. I was deeply impressed about the quality, crafts and concepts behind her paintings. A small hint: BUY, BUY, BUY.

Catto Houghton - Canadian Artist # 001

Last night I went to a studio of severeal independent emerging artists in Toronto. The first artist I've met was Catto Houghton http://www.cattostrophe.net/. Very cool stuff - I saw an impressive triptych of Gwen Stefani. Her work needs to displayed in Juxtapoz or Lodown. Mostly she is painting people around and/or in her life - friends, DJ's and soon. It is a question of time that she get the attention of the big guys and celebrities.

View from my balcony - with "my " first snow this year: 2007-11-22. The 17th floor view. I love tall buildings - could be not high enough.

Currently I'm working on the auto-stereoscopic 3D presention of Hagen Bäckers artwork for the new building of the Music Academy in Dresden. I struggle with lights in these huge 3D model. I found some very good camera views - the 3D is excellent - only the lightning sucks totally. Once if I have the lights in final position I will do the camera moves.

Toronto in snow: 2007-11-22, taken from my kitchen window. Very early in the morning, around 7 am. Due the jet-lag I got up very early, drinking coffee, did some phone calls to Germany. We're working with pressure to go public with Dust-D-Bugger.com - Thinking about to re-animate Dust-D-Bugger as record label as well. In 2004 we merged the label with the german label Privatelektro.
