One of Lunatech Ventures‘ cool investments at the moment is Eximion - next generation games on the web. Now that Eximion is ready for the prime time, it was interesting to talk to art director Chris van der Linden about the work behind the graphics, and how he has a huge catalogue of sketches that he made while developing ideas and game characters.

Chris’ blog is now starting to feature some of this artwork, which is stylish stuff. He may need to keep this up for some time if he is going to publish all twelve thousand images.

Although I generally avoid Amsterdam, I will be making an exception tomorrow to go to The 7th Amsterdam Java Meetup with Sam. It should be a good chance to meet some more Java developers who work in the Netherlands, and although De Jaren is hardly my favourite cafe-bar, at least it is big enough for the expected large crowd. I wonder if any of them would rather work in Rotterdam…
