Playstation – The Studio


The Studio on PlayStation®Store showcases the best in cutting edge art, design, illustration and photography.

Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE), in association with Studio Output, cordially invites you to the opening of a brand new digital art store, The Studio, on PlayStation

®Store. Launched on the 13th April 2011, The Studio will bring the work of some of the most coveted creators of graphic and digital design from across the globe to PlayStation audiences worldwide. Each artist will have original works, fully digitised to create a range of static and dynamic themes downloadable for PlayStation®3 (PS3™) and PSP™ (PlayStation®

Portable).

The Studio is curated and managed by Studio Output, one of the world’s most tuned-in creative design and production companies, and hosted on the free-to-access PlayStation®Network. It offers a platform for cutting edge artists to digitally showcase their work to the world, from photography to typography and illustration to street art.

Twenty selected artists will be the first to share their designs. Celebrated illustrator Anthony Burrill brings two upbeat themes to The Studio; A world of Moving Shapes and Colours and Blocks, while Mr Bingo introduces us to one of his favourite characters in Charlie’s Awfully Big Adventure – a theme based on his sell-out print ‘Charlie does a Kickflip’ from 2010. Fans of English rockers Muse will recognise the work of  Jasper Goodall, notably known for his album cover art for the band. The artist shares his bespoke dynamic theme titled Lake of Sorrows. And Rex Crowle, AKA  rexbox, featuring in The Studio with his Eyelevator works, also showcases his work elsewhere in the PlayStation universe as one of the creative minds behind PS3 game LittleBigPlanet™. Themes are also set to come from iconic design studios Tomato and Tom Hingston.

Dan Moore, Creative Director at Studio Output comments, “With a focus on limited edition and original artwork, the Studio showcases a selection of the most influential and cutting edge artists and designers in line with PlayStation’s audience, allowing the artist to reach their audience in a more personal way.  We’ve worked with each artist and studio to create a series of bespoke digital themes that integrate with the PlayStation interface, adding another element to the work to offer something unique. ”

Nadim Othman, Creative Director at SCEE comments, “The worlds of art and videogames are becoming increasingly linked, and PlayStation provides the ideal platform to make art more accessible for everyone to enjoy.  Creative gaming is something that is at the heart of the PlayStations brand and The Studio has been developed in line with this to offer exclusive and original content our audience is passionate about.”

The Studio is the latest arrival on PlayStation®Network, adding to a stunning scene of film, music and gaming, featuring everything from MUBI – the film service featuring the best in independent and world cinema – to the free music streaming service at VidZone™.  Add fuel to your creative fire and visit The Studio on PlayStation Store this April.

Artworks Selected for “Year Zero” Book

I am please to announce my artwork has been selected for the OFFF2011 Catalogue. OFFF’s theme for 2011 is “Year Zero” and the piece was inspired by the following brief:

Year Zero. Year Alpha. Time to turn our back on the past. To just look forward. Upwards. Fearless of being blinded by the sun. It’s time to set up new rules, to invent new games. To forget about the “re-” and the “post-”. To become kids again and discover the world. Another one. It’s time to be revolutionary. There is no longer a present to determine us, because the present is us. We are the future. And the future will be just like we want it to be.
2011 is OFFF’s Year Zero. The year the festival will voluntarily forget its past and once again reinvent itself. In a new place. With new areas. With fresh ideas and the spirit of those who start something. Something big. Different. Better.
From OFFF we stand up to the passage of time. We reject it. We have decided not to age. Our route page is blank. Our map, waiting to be drawn. Nothing ties us. Nothing is forbidden. Nothing is done. There is no limit. Year Zero. Tabula rasa. Look, the dawn is breaking. It’s a new day rising.

Memories team member Rishi Sodha has created his own dream version of the Memories book. Using the stories and images we have in so far, he has assembled a prototype of Memories with an incredible faux leather embossed cover, and bound it by hand. Pushing his layout skills to the max and printing it on a luscious, pulpy paper stock, he’s created a marvellous object and shown just how awesome the images our artists have created will look in print.

Unfortunately, this wondrous creation won’t be available to buy, however we are moving on with the final version with the aim to make as much as we can for Maggie’s Cancer Care Centres. The prototype has given us loads of printing and layout ideas to hopefully apply in the on-sale version of the book.

Keep track of the project over at http://memories.subism.co.uk/
