crossfire

Here's a game I haven't played in a long long time. Crossfire was made by Sierra-Online in 1981. Probably the first video game I ever played (on an IBM PCjr). A simple game where you have to just kill guys over and over, trying to get points without running out of ammo. Games like this never end, you just play until you run out of lives... There's probably 256 levels, but I've never been able to find out. I found a remake called Gridfire for windows. My highscore is 19500-ish... I was alot better at this when I was 7 years old.

The Grail

I'm on an epic quest. To find a square tie!

I know they exist!

paint

I've finished two painting in the spirit of Piet Mondrian. I admire his use of lines and geometric shapes to convey emotion. His later work focused on lines and the way they intersected the canvas, and while I'm no art expert, I'd like to think that that relationship can be emulated. 

My two paintings ignore the lines alltogether, and focus on the shapes themselves, seperated by space. I used the same bold primary colors, though now that I think about it, I could have used any color. So I painted a couple of pictures because I have some leftover canvas lying around, and Nat bought me some paints. 

Hopefully it turns out ok. 

This painting was recently sold at Sotheby's for $9.2 million.
