Child of Eden »
So this was an exciting project…I was contacted by Chris Dawson at The Field to create the artwork for an interior in Soho to be used for the launch of the new game, ‘Child of Eden’ for the Kinect/Xbox 360. The game is a wireless experience (you use nothing but your body to control the online play), fully immersing the player into a trippy neon wonderland of exploration and discovery and the brief was to create a venue where people would feel like they were walking into a subversive extension of that world. The paintings were all accurately copied from key scenes from the game that I was delivered. Very different to my usual work and a great exercise in technical proficiency.
Here’s a trailer for the game for an idea of the artwork I was referencing…
The customised space in Soho…34-35 Dean Street, London, W1D 4PR. Open to the public from the 5th – 22nd June.
And the artwork…10 days of fumes, blood, sweat and donuts….
A couple of days into the job, we had a visit from the talent at torpedofactoryfilms who put this little promo vid together documenting the tranformation of the space and a timelapse of me painting the wall above.
Hand painted logos using acrylic…no easy feat…
A Mr Jonathon Ross passed by during the private view to test his jedi powers…
