Virtual World

We often think of virtual worlds as very vast spacial ranges with no bounds similar yet different to our own universe. I was challenged to create an image that grounded the “virtual world” into the “real world”, I achieved this by making the virtual world more similar to the real by grounding it in a […]

guest: Virtual World
A virtual world is an online community that takes the form of a computer-based simulated environment through which users can interact with one another and use and create objects. The term has become largely synonymous with interactive 3D virtual environments, where the users take the form of avatars visible to others. These avatars usually appear as textual, two-dimensional, or three-dimensional representations, although other forms are possible (auditory and touch sensations for example). In general, virtual worlds allow for multiple users.

Forced Conversion

DRAFT a later version will be contributed to Wikipedia

I was interested in this topic and created an illustration of it and also as a class final project. I included 3 drafts and the final image. Although in Forced Conversion, religion is being forced against someone’s will to convert and through historical attempts, it is done by Christians. I wanted to imply this meaning […]

guest: Forced Conversion
A forced conversion is the religious conversion or acceptance of a philosophy against the will of the subject, often with the threatened consequence of earthly penalties or harm. There is no support in the Bible for forced conversion[citation needed], but there have been historical attempts by Christians to force the religious conversion of individuals, groups, and entire populations.

Camwhore is implied to an individual so I wanted to send that message across to the viewers. I […]

guest: Teleportation
Teleportation is a term that covers a number or theories and notions concerning the transfer of matter, energy or information between two places without it having to traverse the distance between the two conventionally; similar to the concept apport, an earlier word used in the context of spiritualism. Teleportation is used widely in works of science fiction and fantasy. As a means of transferring matter or live organisms over long distances quickly, teleportation is not currently considered possible.

Fear of Clowns

guest: Coulrophobia
Coulrophobia is an abnormal, irrational fear of clowns. The term is of recent origin, probably dating from the 1980s. The prefix "coulro-" may be derived from an Ancient Greek word meaning "stilt-walker", although the concept of a clown as a figure of fun was unknown in classical Greek culture.
