Crayon Physics Deluxe
Ever since watching ‘Simon in the Land of Chalk Drawings’ as a teeny girl (I was teeny btw) I have dreamed my drawings could come alive one day, and not just in my imagination, maybe it will soon come true. Now they only need add some AI along with the physics and we may just be able to chat to our creations too, just like Simon.
I also started a new series I have been walking around with in my head for some time, it finally got a chance to come out this week so I could enter it in this.
“Folklore in Ehime prefecture, Shikoku, Japan tells of a female ghoul, who has on her head a huge and terrible
mass of mobile hair, each serpentine strand tipped with a sharp, barbed hook. She is fond of tormenting and preying
upon young men.
Appearing on roads as a beautiful woman, she laughs derisively at whoever strikes her fancy, and if he makes the
mistake of laughing back, she lets down her deadly hair and gives chase”. (Text from www.obakemono.com).
The rich history of Japanese folklore is littered with ghost tales just like these … begging me to illustrate them 
… a close friend of mine has also been begging me to illustrate them so consider it a beginning D!
I also managed to dress myself in yukata and head on down to the ‘Osaka Twilight Festival’ where I met my neices, that’s AI2, Arare and me all matching on a rug:
BTW you can download a clunkier prototype of the game above here.
::The suspension of disbelief::
Watching grown men put giant socks and shoes on a giant girl puppet who gets a shower from an elephant, licks icecreams with a giant tongue and whose arms can be used to swing small girls captivated me for the full 5:07 mins. So beautifully creepy, in such a “City of Lost Children” way. It even allowed my nipponophilic soul to fall in love with the european aesthetic once more. This post is for my bestest Francophile friend… you know who you are.
