LEGOLAND

A great trip to LEGOLAND ! where we visited the many playful universes inside the park. We became the wild indians Kække Fjer & Luskede Svale and sailed in canoes trough the rivers of the wild west, we went diving for the lost city atlantis, went on adventures in adventure land - where we river rafted like the Vikings we are, went to the 4D cinema to watch an episode of Chima - with a farting skunk and plenty of magic and we explored the haunted house with the crazy scientist. I think Legoland is the greatest theme park in Denmark, simply because the universes within the park is really detailed and open for play.

The most amazing thing in Legoland is the Miniland. the details and the imagination is stunning. They have a new element in Miniland this year; Lego Friends. I know the toys of this universe have generated a lot of critique for being too sexist. But really, I don't think it is bad. I actually find it refreshing to see pink and purple bricks mixed with the usual lego palette. The Friends mini figures bothers me a bit, but mostly because they don't look like the figures i grew up with. The universe seems diverse, with women working in many professions (magicians, karate masters, etc) and having fun with cool hobbies.

LEGO LEGO

In the middle of July I will be visiting Legoland and desided that I should "warm up" by finally  watching LEGO - the movie. It has kicked me into a Lego mania. The "everything is awesome" tune is some times stuck to my brain and I was really impressed with the mix of the different Lego worlds and the effects used.

So I collected my favorite links about how they created the movie.

The Lego Movie - behind the scenes:

Nice walktrought on the Art of the Title (LINK) 

Aiden Sarsfield mentions how they used this software to create sets LEGO Digital Designer. Though I feel more like bringing all my childhood lego down from my parents attic. 

.. I am starting to get really excited about my Legoland trip!

BRINGING THE KARPORT BLOG BACK TO LIFE

Since I started the CG Artist bachelor education back in 2008, I have been blog’ing my drawings, images of school assignment and all kinds of strange things I was involved in. The format was simple: a title with pictures and little or no explanation. When graduating and becoming a more professional artist, I struggled with the KARPORT BLOG and slowly the blog died. 

In 2013 I experimented with creating a blog-slash-portfolio on wordpress, but ended up hating it. Instead I created a portfolio on cargo collective and I started blogged with the Jellyfish Act about showreels, which was super fun, learning full and intense for a untrained blogger. 

Lately I have been nostalgic about personal progress blogging and I've decided that the time has come; I am bringing the KARPORT BLOG back to life.
