Hints and Hacks For Doing Conceptual Art in the Video Game Industry Updated 11/09/09 Disclaimer I should preface this by saying that, despite the gratuitous mugshots on this website, I don't consider myself anyone special. Loads of people out there make a living doing what I do, and many of them do it better. But it's been a little over twelve years since I started, so I feel at least somewhat justified in taking inventory of the philosophies and techniques I've gleaned thus far. I consider this a "living document", to be edited and expanded not only for the inquisitive beginner, but for myself, as I tend to forget what little I've learned.

By Daily Mail Reporter UPDATED: 14:35 GMT, 11 October 2011 At first glance, these houses looks like they could have been the victim of a dramatic gas explosion. But the beat-up homes in Houston, Texas, are in fact an elaborate traffic-stopping work of art using the homes' own wood siding. Artists Dan Havel and Dean Ruck smashed the interior walls of the homes, before nailing the wooden planking at strange angles to complete their project. Featuring several horizontal and vertical vortices which appear to 'rip' through the interior of the first house, the designs offer a unique view out of each of the buildings.
