Meeting with Mike Smith

We met with Mike and he over seen how our concepts have been coming along. He liked our design but felt it lacked originality and he suggested particularly in the environments section that we be more innovative and hinted that retro and vintage style is something we can look into.

Retro & Vintage research on style and environment

I came across this german artist named Burgle Klaus on the internet while searching for some vintage retro artwork, specifically on environments. We took mike smith's advice and looked into vintage and retro style environments and furnitures. This artist's work dates back to 50's and 60's and his work is particularly interesting simply because the blend between classic and modernistic take on scenary and objects is rather quite eye catching and unique.
