::Alice is back::
Great news, Electronic Arts is teaming up with Spicy Horse and American McGee to create a sequel to Electronic Art's PC classic from 2000. Currently titled The Return of American McGee's Alice, the game is still in pre-production and "won't be completed for some time." The game is in development for the PC, Playstation 3 and Xbox 360. I remember the original game was pretty fun with twisted design and visuals (and music), the first piece of concept art released looks very promissing, lets hope for the best.

::Ferrari GT: Evolution::
Finally here, the game I worked on last year - Ferrari GT Evolution for iPhone and iPod Touch. Racing games are not my type of games but I must admit this one turned out very good for an iPhone game.
I was lead 2D artist for this project so basically I had to take care of everything 2D on the game, I did the interface design, the ingame menus, icons, fonts, some of the textures and some art direction. At the end of the project I can say that was one hell of a ride and we had an great team. Check out the trailer, some gameplay video here and a review here.
