Portal: No Escape
Here at Pixellica, we love all things special effects related, and even though we mostly focus on Photoshop, I thought I’d take a moment to share this amazing live action short film, based on the Portal game series by Valve. It takes a very creative look at the gameplay, and physics used in the game. And could there be a sequel judging by the film’s ending?
Ace of Spades: A Showcase of Card Art
We’ve all played cards at some point, but seldom seem to give a second look at the variation and art we handle so commonly. Pixellica takes a look at several iterations of card design and art, epitomized by the most common card of them all.
Focus on Shane Devries
Australia-based Shane Devries is an excellent illustrator and captures the heart of a character’s emotion. The facial expressions he put on his creations tell the whole story, even if nothing else were visible. Shane is twenty-five, and ”likes to draw.” Check out his blog (link below)
Focus on Digital Illustrator Glenn Robinson
Glenn Robinson, who works as Creative Director for Intrinsic Nature and also maintains his personal site FreshIsrael.com, is an entirely self-taught illustrator living in Sacremento, CA, USA. His illustrative style ranges from abstract to that flashy Photoshop style you can imitate yourself and just plain have fun with.

17 Examples of Animate & Inanimate Origami
Paper folding is a very hands-on art. Rather than simply making the paper sculptures, these artists created a story using origami and stop-motion animation.
