Science: A way of finding things out and then making them work. Science explains what is happening around us the whole time. So does religion, but science is better because it comes up with more understandable excuses when it is wrong. There is a lot more science than you think. — From A Scientific Encyclopedia […]

Darwinia Finished Darwinia today. Great game – “must have” for everyone loving retro style in new tech implementation.

One of the best Garbage songs ever. Fitting (in terms of quality) with what they did on the first two albums. (Source: http://www.youtube.com/)

When searching for this years topic, i was interupted by my daughter asking me for a version of Pac-Man for her Nintendo DS. Search completed.

Futurama – one of my favourite TV shows. Too bad it wasn’t a crowd-pleaser… …but definitively a nerd-pleaser. After being shut down infamously by broadcaster FOX it resurrected as a set of 3 DVDs and after this being successful on the TV screen as well. Halleluja!

The two towers. Should it really be about these two (Barad-dûr in Mordor and Orthanc in Isengard), or maybe something else?

Resistance is futile! Of course an hommage to the Star Trek series (TNG rules!) and especially to the Borg.

And now for something completely different… The original images and animations for the BBC series “The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy” have been done by Rod Lord. They’re not computer generated.

Another visit at the surrealists – on of their most famous members is probably René Magritte. The mug is based on his images “La Connivence”, “La Grande Famille”, “La Chambre d’ecoute”, “La Condition Humaine” and – last but not least – “La Trahison des Images”.

After the short trip to the world of science fiction, it had to be something of a “higher cultural value” again. Since the release of Douglas R. Hofstadter’s book “Gödel, Escher, Bach”, computer scientists appreciate the artwork of M. C. Escher, if not earlier. So this simple adaption of his well known “Metamorphosis” images suggested […]

Why not trying an entirely different type of classic? Still one of my favourite movies – this means the first/original one only…

No pop art this time, but a well known image nevertheless.

Another classic piece of pop-art that had to be done. And perfectly fitting with the shape of a mug…

Pop art the third… …this time a mug. After having failed with the “Lichtenstein” design one year before, it had to be done now. I think, I’ve found a way to put all the necessary items into it – the name “cFos”, the “Practice Random…” line and the “42”, of course.

The second Pop-Art T-Shirt. First, I planned doing a Lichtenstein based image. I already had done some sketches, but none of them really worked. Neither the company name nor the “Practice Random…” line could be integrated into them in a smart way. Then I saw a Haring poster hanging on a wall and it took […]

For quite a long time I didn’t have a good idea for the next shirt, so I decided to follow the motto “I recover my property wherever I find it”. Actually, I liked this kind of playing around with a pop-art classic. So I decided to do it the same way for the next years.

The first in a series of T-shirts and mugs for the cFos Software GmbH.The printed version didn’t look as good as expected, the printing company wasn’t able to get it done properly. Not that hard to figure out, if you know some German…
