Now we are talking - as I delve deeper into game development, I need fuel in the right doses.

Yesterday we set off on a discovery tour to agricolART in Alessandria.

It was wonderful to meet so many super-talented (young) artists from the fields of illustration, comics, manga, etc. at this small indie art fair. We had plenty of time to talk to some of these artists about their projects and buy a few souvenirs.

It's so important to support these individual artists in this age of mass consumption and uniform goods. Thanks to the organizers for this great opportunity.

Special greetings to @giulia_blue, @julfenart, @francio_art, @palmen_draws, @elenaterziart ...

See you soon

A strenuous, sweaty hike high above Pietra Ligure (Monte Grosso) for our wedding anniversary.

Karin, Bailey, and I had a blast exploring the wild nature right on our doorstep.

Beautiful Liguria ...

Spring here in Liguria is a mix of rainy storms and beautiful sunny spring days. A morning that starts with coffee can only lead to a great day.

Done - my first German-language "Godot Fundamentals" course took place last week. Further advanced courses are already planned.

This marks another milestone in the restructuring of my training offerings towards FOSS:

In addition to "Blender for Production" now also "Indie Game Development with Godot".

I believe indie productions are important for the creative future!

A view over the sunny winter beach to the sea. Sun is shining and sparkles on the water.

☀️ A sunny winter morning on the Ligurian Sea. In the streets of Laigueglia there is no trace of the hustle and bustle of the last few weeks. Everything is going on at a calm and relaxed pace.

Karin and I are refueling and taking in the impressions.

🐶 And Bailey? After a coffee ☕ in a bar, she can't wait to get back to the windy beach 🏝.

Yesterday was officially my first day at work and I would therefore like to wish you all a healthy, successful and happy year 2025.

All the best for you personally and for your creative projects 🎨!

Like last year, I published my annual planning and a few thoughts on my (free) Patreon

The annual Confuoco "U Cunfögu" on Piazza La Pietra (Ciàssa Véggia) is celebrated every year before Christmas in Pietra, just like in many other Ligurian communities.

In addition to the lighting of a laurel tree fire (Il ceppo di Oibâ) on Piazza Vecchia (Ciàssa Véggia), where, according to tradition, you can take a look into the coming year, the performances of the music groups and the gruppo storico "Jus Tenens" with their great costumes and drums are the special highlight for me.

Have a great holiday 🔥🌲

Winter time by the sea - what a wonderful way to start the working day. Rough sea, fresh wind, silence all around you, sun and afterwards, a hot, strong coffee.
