Bombs at tea

Bombs at tea

The Arolfini

I recently went to the arolfini which has alot of difrent things going on i watched a short film called Bomb at Tea Time. Take a trip back in time to the 1940s with this special Silver Screen/Old Media event, open to all. Bombs at Teatime is a portrait of domestic life in Britain throughout one of the most extraordinary decades of our history. At times wry, affectionate and surprising, these rarely seen short films from the BFI National Archive document a time of great austerity as Britain sought to retain its sanity in the shadow of war. I have always been interested in the second world war and enjoyed watching it and it rily was like a window into the 1940’s.

MY MINECRAFT


After getting known for his renders my brother started doing a seriese of weres notch posters. notch is the guy who created Minecraft, he would hide his avatar within a picture for fans to find.
its become very populer.



Once the teqnuie was perfected he went on the render the REDDIT server which srtarted getting alot of attention.

This is the same shot but in the day time, as you can see my castle has come a long way since the frist shot again it was alot of work and i cant beleive how big the hole thing is.

In Minecraft their is a day a night and everything inbetween in these renders my brother was trying to get the lighting from the torches right, as you can see in this shot the lights are to bright.
After building more and more my brother used my castle to perfect his Minecraft Rendering.

This is the first rendered shot with the wall and the cleaned up grounds.

This shot renders the entire area of my castle in Minecraft their is as much to explore underground as their is above, miles of underground tunnels.

We rendered the castle from a few different shots.


While building my castle i showed it to my brother and he was also playing minecraft and was working on a way of rendering out images from the game using a particle system to build the scenery instead of straight up importing it as a 3d entity.I started landscpaeing by first makeing a wall the surrounded the castle, then i leveled out the entire area inside of the wall and evened it out as much as possible.

once i had made the main bulk of the castle i was amazed at just how much work i had done, the majority of the stone to make what you see in the picture i mined from within the mountain its self to create rooms within. now i had got my castle i wanted to landscape the grounds around the castle.
Once i had a big enough space on the top of the mountain i build the main keep. this would be the center main building of my castle.

Once on top i build a tower at each corner of the mountain top my aim was to join them together to create a square.


This is Minecraft! its a simple but very fun and addictive game! i like minecraft as you shal see, basically but simply you dig up a block and you then have that blok and you may place that block were ever you want so you can build a small house or a massive castle. i have been obsessed with castles since i was a kid so when i started playing this i knew i was going to build a castle before i even started. First i had to pick a plot after running around i found a mountain that was the highest ridge around so this would be perfect to build my castle on top.

Whilst at the arolfini i also checked out this cool looking Coal Fired Computer & Tantalum Memorial Media artists YoHa (Matsuko Yokokoji and Graham Harwood) present their Coal Fired Computer. This recent work responds to the displacement of coal production to emerging economic superpowers like India and China after the UK miners' strike in the 80s. Coal Fired Computer also reflects on the complexities of our global fossil fuel reliance as well as the histories of labour and industrialisation. Alongside this is Tantalum Memorial, produced by Harwood, Wright & Yokokoji. This work is a telephony-based memorial to the people who have died as a result of the coltan wars in the Congo.


Corey Helford Gallery, LA and Bristol’s City Museum & Art Gallery present Art From The New World– a big brash exhibition of the new American art scene. The exhibition features a collection of 49 new works by a diverse range of some of the finest emerging and noted living US urban and new Contemporary artists, spanning the artistic spectrum from pop surreal to neo-figurative to street. I rily like the hole sceane its a cool style of dark art with a graffiti hint. A fifteen-foot tall “ice cream cone” balloon sculpture created by, and topped with the characters of well-known street artist Buff Monster (who is featured in Banksy’s new film, Exit Through the Gift Shop). The artist will also be on-site creating a “live painting” of murals on select museum walls during the days immediately leading up to the exhibition.

Street Fighter is one of the most influential video game franchises of all time. It launched the head-to-head fighting game genre and brought together millions of players around the globe to do battle, first at arcades and then, later on, across a variety of home consoles. 2008 is the 20th anniversary of the franchise.

I am a big fan of street fighter and i was at a park with some firends messing around and one of my friends got a great pictrue of me in mid air. i enjoy makeing themed posters so i thought this would be a good picture to base my street fighter tribute picture on.

by useing the picture as a refrence and drawing ontop plus adding some extra features and effects.
