A piece of pixel art created by me: a graphic title for a puzzle game Age of Pashakan developed by Spooky House Studios

You Sunk : Submarine is an arcade game for smartphones developed by Spooky House Studios UG. You are captain of a submarine on a secret mission behind enemy lines. For that game I’ve created graphic assets: backgrounds, GUI, game pieces, props and application icon. The game utilizes 8-bit pixelated graphics

I’ve got an idea of a very artistic way to decorate a christmas tree. It is DIY. You can easily create an amazing bauble that imitates the look of Escher’s famous reflecting sphere. There are two ways to choose from.

The option number one. The easiest one. You have to find an old bauble that you are not going to use anymore (you know: it can be out of fashion or has the paint that has crumbled out). Then print out this template (it is better to use thin type of paper):

It was designed for a bauble with a half length of circumferencee that is equal to 120 mm. To determine the lenght you have to measure a distance from the North pole of the bauble to the South one. In a case the distance is roughly 120 mm all is perfectly fine. Otherwise you need to adjust the template (that is simple, you only have to scaled it a little bit). Or you can choose the second way to create the sphere (look below).

Cut out all the pieces…

Use a glue to fix the pieces on the bauble’s surface. At the end you should get the tribute to the Escher’s Sphere

The second option is to create your own sphere from a scratch. It is a little bit more complicated, but don’t worry it would provide you more fun as well.

Use some dense (but not too much) paper. Print out the second cutout template:

As you’ve already noticed: the pieces are quite the same, but feature some corners for glue. By utilizing them a whole sphere can be created, they help to connect the pieces into a solid spherical structure.

Piece by piece, section by section the sphere can be created. Be patient, there no need to hasten, all will be okay. It is easier at the beginning and a little bit tricky at the very end. The last section is always captious, but you will master it.

Don’t forget to use a yarn to put your bauble on the Christmas tree

A smartphone usually is laying on your desk without any additional purpose. Once I decided that it can be turned into a classic pixel icon — the «happy computer». The only thing you need is a special stand that looks like a small computer case. The easiest way to create such case is using some paper and glue. The papercraft is the way to create such thing. It took me few days to design a blueprint and now it is ready! The idea is pretty simple: you create the stand, then put a special wallpaper at lock screen of your phone , then put your phone in the stand. Voilà! You got a real life happy computer icon, which looks especilly good at a night

To create the stand you need heavy paper (you need something about 240-260 g/m²), it is better to use the matte one. A paper glue of a good quality. A paper cut knife and a ruler. Remember that you create the stand at your own risk! It is made of paper and it is not pretty solid, your phone can fall out and can be damaged, so be careful.

There several blueprints you can choose from (All are PDFs):

• Kit for iPhone 4
• Kit for iPhone 5
• Kit for iPhone 6

You can also download the assembly instructions

Download a proper wallpaper for you Lock screen. It would be better to turn off the Perspective Zoom feature for the wallpaper (in other case the image would not have a fixed position at the screen). That can be done at wallpaper choosing menu of your iPhone.

• Wallpaper iPhone 4
• Wallpaper iPhone 5
• Wallpaper iPhone 6

Then simply cut out all the elements from the blueprints and assemble them. Try to keep your hands clean, otherwise some black marks can be put. After the complection of the stand give some time for the glue to set. Meantime you can use a black magic marker (or black ink) to sweep under the carpet all seams

The spiritual successor for my project called The Diacritics: another concept of the CD cover with a special spot in it. In this case several emoticons are printed on a surface of the CD, so by rotating it you can switch between various emotional states of the main character

My personal project inspired by visual look of different diacritic symbols. A concept of a cd cover for a fictional music band The Diacritics and their album called “A”.The main idea is to utilize a special envelope with a slot in it. The slot helps to behold the diacritic symbols printed on the surface of the compact disc. The disk could be rotated since different symbols would appear on the cover

I’ve designed a cover art for the book Swiss Life: 30 Things I Wish I’d Known, written by american writer Chantal Panozzo. The original part of the design are special bookmarks that expand the space of the cover and create a visual game. The idea of the bookmarks is originated from my famous concept called Jackets+Bookmark. You can find more details at the project’s page.
