Cory Schmitz x Journey

And of course I'm talking about Journey the highly-acclaimed PSN game, not Journey the award-winning band.

Sadly, I can't play thatgamecompany's Journey--as I'm sure many of you are aware, I don't yet own a PS3--so I have to scratch my itch for the game by reading articles about it and staring at art inspired by it.

Case in point: The wonderfully minimalist illustration below (and here) that was created by Cory Schmitz.



This illustration was made for a well-worth-reading article, written by Kevin Nguyen, for The Bygone Bureau, by the way. Check it out in all of its originally-intended glory here (and check out Nguyen's article, too, while you're at it).

To see more of Schmitz' work, pay a visit to his Flickr photostream or his online portfolio.

Before you click on the links above, though, please tell me this: Have any of you played Journey? If so, what do you think of it?

This GameBoy is outta this world

Is there a point to the piece below, or is it just supposed to be pretty? I actually posed (via Flickr) that question to guy who produced it--Seattle-based artist Cory Schmitz--but I have yet to hear back from him. So, for the time being I'm just going to assume there's an awesomely pertinent story behind this celestial collage.

Even if there isn't a point to it, though, and the piece is just supposed to be cool to look at, I'll be perfectly fine with that--because the piece is cool to look at, don't you think? Really, I'd hang a framed print of it in my office if I had one (a print, not an office).
