From time to time I indulge in creating analog art, which is either (analog) airbrushing, pencil drawing or painting with acrylics on canvas or paper. These crafts have a therapeutic effect without the need of a shrink. Sometimes I have Metallica, other times Danny Gatton, Black Pumas or Angelo Debarre playing while doodling. Or just the singing of the birds in my ecological backyard. Occasionally I listen to Dark Journalist or Joseph P Farrell on youtube while submitting myself to a comforting therapeutic treatment. Therapeutic artistic episodes rule.
On rare occasions, I create 3D art. Sometimes to support the 2D images I draw to obtain the correct perspective, other times to just create a 3D object. I am by far no expert in this area, but I am able to create simple objects. I mostly use Rhinoceros 3D for this purpose and at times DesignSpark. And recently, since Blender significantly updated its User Interface, that program perhaps has become more accessible than before. However, I still need to get familiar with it to use it in a proper way.
Since discovering the brilliant webdesign program Nicepage, approximately one year ago, I was persuaded to offer this type of service, since it requires no coding skills whatsoever and allows to entirely focus on creativity, while putting no constraints on artistic interpretation. Objects can be placed anywhere on a page, not being restricted by a grid and a plethora of functions are included, which basically means total creative freedom for designers. In combination with the Affinity Suit all sorts of pages can be created - from modern to classic and anything in between.
I have created dozens of high quality educational books for the advanced composites industry, particularly for the aviation, space, automotive and marine market segments. All books contain 2D and 3D instructional drawings, tables, forms, mathematical formulae and graphs that were made from scratch. Due to the pandemic situation many of such documents had to be rebuilt to make them suitable for online use, because they were designed for print initially. Online docs of course allow much more interactivity.
