links for the geeky monkey

If you wanna feast your eyes on tools or design including 3D, animation, vector, the works - here are some of the best links to visit:

http://www.madeofjapan.com/

Really cool site though it doesn't load well with my PC. Disclaimer claims:

This Onitsuka Tiger Shoe is Made of Japan. We made it out of tiny images and every image links to something Japanese on the Internet today... Just remember the WWW is pretty big and Onitsuka Tiger cannot be responsible for what you find...

Disclaimer: All the products we sell, both on this website and in our catalogue, are rigorously tested for fun factor.

Without wishing to labour the point (but manifestly doing so!) none of our toys are meant for children, unless they're all big and grown up - the children, that is.

My methods are very simple and direct, and although my work is created on the computer, the methods I use are exactly the same as those used by artists working by more traditional means.

My primary software tools are Adobe Photoshop and Corel Painter, used in conjunction with a Wacom tablet (an electronic input device which works like a pen). I mostly use the brush tool to draw directly on the image - I don't use any filters or effects, I just paint.

Hi, my name is Jan Willem Wennekes, also known as Stinger. After having studied both Philosophy (mainly Ludwig Wittgenstein, he is brilliant) and Artificial Intelligence at the University of Groningen, I decided to take up illustrative design as my life. My working space is part of Studio Pats, a collective studio in the lovely town of Groningen, the Netherlands. This is where I like to draw, sketch, think, eat, drink lots of coffee and generally, have fun.
