Plan for Ben "Djaggernaut" Chavigner

It's getting harder to update a GG blog on my recent work, time is a precious ressource!
The culprit is a school, the "Ecole des Beaux-Arts de Bordeaux" wich I entered a few weeks ago.
This is kinda a weird experience, I couldn't tell yet if I totally enjoy it, but I had some crazy damn good classes.
This is the national art school and we're exploring the traditional mediums (drawing, sculpture, painting) but also the new one (video, CG art, sound, happening).
Working with his own body as a tool led me to a different thinking about the painting itself and the several creative way I was used to.
We also have a forge I can even create some medieval weapons in reality now! ;)
It's very positive to discover this new expressions and maybe, bring them into the videogame world.
Anyway, the pics!
The front of the school
A random sculpture I did on the theme "Nature/culture" It's some kind of cocoon made with wood tied together. The heart is of paper (kinda akari light, isn't it?)
Enough of this, back on the computer :)
First, some work for Snachurz (compiled on one pic)
I purposely didn't put any detail or sshot, Craig will speak about that in an upcoming plan I guess.
The empire state building I did for a video ( for www.subjectil.com)

And a random drawing, just like that.

I have also some other content pack project with Tridinaut... more info on that in some weeks.
bybye!
