Jurassic Owl – The brand, the work, the passion
|
This is the intended rebirth of this blog space.
Jurassic Owl is a small start-up business in the field of game, digital and audio design. These are the fields in which I apply myself. I have been an musician and artist all of my life and I also dabble in other aspects of art such as writing, drawing and painting. I’m an entrepreneur and a student of the arts. I am currently working my way towards a phd in design at Uppsala university because I want to do reseach into the gamification of social sciences where I see a lot of future business potential. Jurassic Owl is a business passionate about entertainment, art and the innovative application of games in other fields. My goal as an entrepreneur is to innovate, elicit positive emotional responses and to entertain. The brand of Jurassic Owl should be one of diversity, playfulness, ethical business practices and the joyful exploration of all the possibilities of play. I also have a game development company with a group of fellow students, called Tasteful Games. We’re planning on doing both digital games and board/card games. I worked as a music producer and artist for 15 years and I still do work in this field, partly because I’m passionate about music and partly because I only recently got into doing audio work for video games which I find incredibly gratifying work. I’m an artist and I play in a band called Ashbury Heights. We do electronic pop with a dark edge and our last album ”The Looking Glass Society” was released to some critical acclaim in the summer of 2015. It’s still doing well on German and European charts. Playing in a band is an indulgence, I don’t do it for a living and I don’t compromise with my vision. As a designer I always consider the customer perspective, but as an artist allow my personal artistic vision to guide my process. This is the one place where I allow my own ego to dictate the direction of the product. It is a valuable refuge to temper the need for self expression in my other more customer focused endeavours.  In this blog I’ll be talking about my work, sharing thoughts, ideas, scraps, bits and pieces. It will be thoughts on design, popular science, art but I’ll also share snippets of music, game designs, demos and concepts. Hopefully, in the years to come this will be a repository of, not only my work, but the work I do with other talented people. Postat i:Okategoriserade  |
