Pictoplasma website Hacked!!
the astounding website and organisation 'pictoplasma' focuses on the art of character design, from the most bizarre to the breathtaking. i love the scope of what is created and how strange some of the creations can be
All these wonderful and bizarre creations have made me strive to increase my skills of character design, as that is the one aspect of animation i am really dreading, i cant create lifelike drawings, but i think i make up for this with the simplicity of the characters i do develop, they have more of a like-ability factor, i prefer to give them a deeper back story or narrative to follow. i think the best characters are ones that people remember the most, and simplicity is the way to do that.
But horrible news struck this organisation as there website was hacked!! making them lose 10 years of artwork and documents. this only begs the question why would you not back things up? this really makes me aware of how vulnerable your digital elements are. the first thing i do when i get home is to back up my computer.

NEWS > 12. May 2014
The same moment our 10 year anniversary Festival and Conference came to an end, it appears that our website has been hacked – and is wounded beyond repair.
10 years of content are lost, which seems poetic….
However, while we are frantically trying to understand what has happened behind the curtain, we would like to point your attention in the direction of our still functional online activity…
> For news and updates, please visit our Facebook page:
https://www.facebook.com/pictoplasma
> For all kinds of colorful pictures of our offline activities (such as the Pictoplasma Festival, Conference and Portrait Gallery) please visit our Tumblr:
http://pictoplasma.tumblr.com
> For books, DVDS, other gadgets and soon a new range of limited edition art prints, please visit our online store here:
http://pictoplasma.tictail.com
> For everything else, such as the upcoming Pictoplasma Academy in Berlin, the 4th NYC edition of our Conference, and our debut in Mexico this September, we hope to get the news out via our repaired website soon…
Thank you for your understanding,

The website formerly known as Pictoplasma.com
