Read an interesting quote today, by Joseph Weizenbaum in 1976. He was the coder of Eliza…

"What I had not realized is that extremely short exposure to a relatively simple computer program could induce powerful delusional thinking in quite normal people."

Eliza was a simple piece of software compared to today's AI. πŸ˜“

A super-short animation cycle to test my bee animation for the Hoi Amiga game, made back in late 1990 or early 1991. πŸ™‚

Love these patterns hiding a 3D depth image. Try to relax your focus and look into the distance, beyond the image. Spoiler coming up…

Paper drawing I once made for a CD sleeve of a friend. I portrayed her as the moon. πŸ’š

After scanning the drawing, I made the glowing star in an early version of Photoshop at the time.

A childhood drawing I made in an old comic book of mine. I guess it was apparent at an early age that I was destined to become a game designer. 😁
