Der er noget, der er råddent i Danmark.
So tonight I painted the summoner. It was a relatively quick paint job. Begining to end less than 45 minutes, including the setup time for the paints, water and, palette. In this figurine I used lots of washes, and wet blending. It was also a trial for the object source lightning (OSL) as the staff... Continue Reading →

I have always liked how Philips Ambilight looked but didn't want to replace my carefully selected gaming monitor just yet. The other after market solutions were too expensive and too clunky (a camera pointed at the screen? really?). Last time I checked (back in USA) there wasn't a good solution for this. A week ago,...

When I started with İrfan's Adventures, I wanted to use it as a signal in the job market. IrfanKanat.com was just the right amount of boring for that. Now that I no longer care about professional signals, perhaps it's time to turn the blog into something more fun. Irfmeister.com should do it. Sing it to... Continue Reading →
