some cool stuff i found

hi

talking about some cool stuff i found. whether it be artists, musicians, whatever

im starting off with the IRTC (internet raytracing competition)

the IRTC is a raytracing competition (duh) from the early days of software raytracing.

there were two competitions, one lasted for a year (1994-1995), and the other lasted for a decade (1996-2006)! you can find the 1994-1995 version here, and the 1996-2006 version here.

images from the first competition: (ps i dont know how to make images smaller... who would be so kind as to tell me how)

dec 1994: games

feb 1995: music

mar 1995: computers/internet

apr 1995: food

jun 1995: science

jul 1995: odd devices

jul 1995: alien worlds

sep 1995: kitchen

oct 1995: architecture

this was mindblowing back in the day (and it still is to me)

i am in love with the irtc entries. very nostalgic to me

next up is a widely recognized visionary artist, "gilbert williams". you likely recognize him; if u dont, well. you will know him now i guess. born in 1950, gilbert williams has been drawing avidly since he was a kid. there is a gallery of his works, found here. 

if you are too lazy to click that, though, i will post a lot here, for you:

this is one of the best art ive laid my eyes upon i think. the works are so dreamy, so beautiful, so unreal. the paintings id see on houses a ton as a kid

next is ANOTHER visionary artist, a surrealist italian named "di danilo jans". he has been posting his works since 2015(?), and still creates today(?), i found most of these on his facebook and pinterest! no link im afraid

a lotta works from him (most of these are from 2015-2016):

i like the elephant photo :)

ill edit this blog to add more stuff i found, but have this for now

BYE
